Top 5 Reasons to Scrapbook

#5 – Photos are lost in a digital abyss.
Most photos of this day and age are digital. They are trapped in a laptop or that little plastic and glass photo prison. Scrapbooking makes one edit and print their photos and put them on display to share with family and friends in an artful manner.

#4 – Scrapbooking is fun!
Many daily tasks are not fun. Laundry, dishes, cleaning the toilet… all of these things do not top the great-things-to-do list. Scrapbooking, however, can be found at the top! It is relaxing to put pictures together on a page with other elements like papers, inks, and quotes making a beautiful layout that will last a lifetime that can be shared with others. Also, on the occasion that scrapbooking is done with friends at a crop or retreat, look out; it’s scrapbook heaven!

#3 – Record the memories.
Not everyone likes to journal, but understand that when an album is put together of the family vacation, holiday, or an arrival of a new family addition with descriptions in our own words and handwriting, it is truly a work to treasure. Scrapbooking puts memories and thoughts in a visual time capsule so that anyone looking at the book becomes party to the life events. It is the best way to save memories noting always that a picture is worth 1,000 words!

#2 – Sort out those dusty pictures.
I bet there is a shoebox, drawer, or container full of unsorted, forgotten photos lying somewhere begging to be glued down to some cardstock and surrounded by ribbon and rhinestones? Well, even if there isn’t… scrapbooking is a great way to organize pictures that are forgotten. Not only that, the finished project is fun to share with others.

#1 – Protect the photos.
Nothing is more upsetting than realizing all of the photos have been deleted from the hard drive by mistake or the cat has had an accident on the shoebox under your bed that contained the most prized memories. Through acid free materials, page protectors, and sturdy albums keep the memories and snapshots safe and protected for a lifetime!

Scrapbooking is a great way to put that crafter in you to work creating something that is worthwhile for the whole family to enjoy. I will caution you though, once you’ve been bitten by the scrapbooking bug, there is no cure!
