| Paper Scrapbooking is a method for preserving a legacy of written history in the form of photographs, printed media, and memorabilia contained in decorated albums, or scrapbooks. Modern scrapbooking has evolved into creating attractive displays of photos, text and memorabilia. In recent years, Scrapbooking as a hobby and an art, has taken off all across the world. Now there is a strong social network that scrapbooking provides. "Scrappers" or "scrapbookers" get together and scrapbook at each other's homes, local scrapbook stores, conventions, retreat centers, and even on cruises. Scrapbooking is done largely on 12"×12" or 8½×11" pages. However, smaller albums are very popular too. Common formats are 6"×6", 7" x 7", or 8"×8". One of the key components of modern scrapbooking is the archival quality of the supplies. Designed to preserve photographs and journaling in their original state, materials encouraged by most serious scrapbookers are of a high quality and acid free. In addition to the collection of photographs, tickets, postcards, and other memorabilia, journaling is an essential element in today's scrapbooks. More than just dating photographs, contemporary journaling is often reflective and story-like, or can take on a more reportive tone. Whatever the style of journaling that the scrapbooker chooses to implement, journaling is considered a priority in the completion of a scrapbook layout, second only to the photographs themselves. | |
