Scrapbooking Memories
WALK DONE MEMORY LANE
I find it so much fun to open up old photo albums and glance over the many fond memories and cherished pictures. Remember the instant photos you would snap and shake and like magic the images appeared… those were the days! With today’s technology advancements, cherishing memories has become so much more professional in quality, but keeping them all together can be a problem. Let’s look at scrapbooking as a fun solution.
SCRAPBOOKING MORE THAN A HOBBY.
I marvel at the talent I have seen with crafters who scrapbook. Scrapbooking uses fun materials like stickers, labels, captions and matting are now taking up entire aisles in stores. From personal experience a family member has produced unique ways to beautify an ordinary picture and ultimately create a fascinating book! Creativity is the key they say and with so many options you really can’t go wrong.
