If you haven’t made a scrapbook before, you may not know what goes into a scrapbook! It is a common question of what the “rules” of scrapbooking are. To sum it up, scrapbooking is a craft in which you will be placing text, pictures, and other decorative materials, presenting them in a way that tells a story. Scrapbooking is known for its use in recording history, both personal and familial. The initial purpose of preserving important information expanded over the years, including the beautiful memories you make along the way when photography became commonplace.

Scrapbooks are a way to personalize and visualize the history you live through to look back on later. It is commonplace to see scrapbooks adorned with different pictures, magazine clips, artwork, or other decorative materials. Personalizing your scrapbook is based entirely on your preferences, making this craft perfect for someone who wants full creative control.
