What is Scrapbooking?
Do you remember those days as a kid pasting newspaper
clippings onto paper and bundling dozens of papers together
with some fancy ribbon or a string? Do you also remember
all of your hard work falling apart two months later?
Now there's a grown up way to save and preserve your
treasures: Scrapbooking.
The concept behind scrapbooking hasn't changed since grade
school. You can still place photographs, newspaper clippings,
poems, and tickets into your scrapbook to display and
preserve your memories.
However, scrapbooking techniques and tools have matured
substantially since you were a kid. Scrapbooking albums
have replaced the messy bundles of paper. These albums are
generally bound or placed in a three-ring binder. In this way,
your hard work won't fall apart. Furthermore, new
specialized covers allow protection from the outside
elements.
Paste is also a thing of the past. Specialized glue dots and
two-sided tape makes mounting your treasures simple and
mess free. Many of these products are so strong that you can
now decorate your scrapbook pages with ribbons, feathers,
flowers, or even metal charms.
Due to these new techniques and tools, the uses of
scrapbooking have expanded drastically. Scrapbooking is
still used to hold personal keepsakes and for gift giving.
However, now scrapbooking techniques can be used to make
baby announcements, grandparent books, gift cards, artwork
for kid's rooms, recipe books, and even educational tools.
What Do I Need to Start
Scrapbooking?
The best thing about scrapbooking is that although there are
a plethora of scrapbooking supplies available on the market,
you really don't need a lot to make your very first scrapbook.
Basically, all you need to scrapbook is an album, some glue, a
pair of scissors, and some photographs or newspaper
clippings. Any fabric, ribbon, or bits of leftovers from other
projects can be used to embellish your scrapbook.
As you get more acquainted with scrapbooking, you will find
products that save you time and frustration. Many of these
products are well worth the extra cost. At the top of this list
is an exacto knife. This strong and versatile blade allows you
to cut almost anything into any shape. When the blade is
dull, the end is simply broken off to reveal another sharp tip.
Just be sure to place the object you plan to cut onto a mat or
wad or newspaper before using the exacto knife. Otherwise,
the knife will cut right through your picture and into your
scrapbook page or dining room table.
The next best tool is a pair of tweezers. Trying to pick up and
place small gluey pieces is a hassle. Tweezers, though not
very high tech, allow you to move pieces without touching
them.
Speaking of gluey pieces, various glues and affixing options
are available. These quick and less messy options include
glue dots, two-sided tape, Xyron, acid free photo tabs, and
polypropylene corners.
To increase the preservation of your scrapbook and your
treasures, look for albums with acid free, lignin free pages.
Both acid and lignin accelerate photo fading and general
deterioration. Lignin is a chemical found naturally in the cell
walls of plants. If the lignin is not removed in the paper
manufacturing process, the chemical will cause the paper
product to gradually yellow and crumble. Lignin and acid
free products come in virtually any color and texture.

The rest of this book is dedicated to the how-tos of
scrapbooking. For your convenience and easy reference, each
how-to is divided into easy to understand tips. As the name
of this book suggests, there are a total of 101 tips. The first
fifteen tips focus on the basics of how to do scrapbooking.
The remaining tips discuss various techniques and additions
that you can use to make your scrapbook page even better.
These tips gradually lead you from simple and easy beginner
tips to more complex and advanced scrapbooking
techniques.
