It just goes to show how wrong you can be - I had always had it in my mind that the Victorians were responsible for starting off the craze for collecting personal memorabilia and sticking it into books to preserve for future generations but I have been `Googling` and have found that the first scrapbooks were put together centuries ago.

The Victorians kept very ornate scrapbooks and as a child I had great fun sticking postcards and tickets into colouful paper books, I distinctly remember making a whole book about the ...  Read the complete review

I started scrapbooking a couple of years ago when I had just returned from working at summer camp and had a gazillion pictures. Much as I love digital cameras, I do find that I tend to forget to get prints made and after I dump them onto my computer, and usually Facebook, that's the last I see of my pictures. So I went off to the craft ...  Read the complete review

I absolutely love scrapbooking and have been doing it since my children were little. Techniques, styles and products have changed dramatically over the years and these days there is so much on offer that it is probably hard for a beginner to know where to start!

When I was young the only scrapbooks that were readily available were the rather cheap-looking sugar paper ones that were stapled together & were very flimsy. Scrapbooking's a great idea if you want to present special photos or memory items in 1 place & a single page, lovingly decorated, helps re-live the memory of a special ...  Read the complete review

When i was a kid, a scrapbook was a big blank cheap paper notebook designed to stick various pictures, handrawn works of art and leaves in until the leaves went mouldy and the whole lot was thrown away...or was that just mine? It was only recently when i started work in a craft supply shop that i realised that scrapbooking has come a ...  Read the complete review

I am a great fan of scrapbooks and always have been, i would have loved my mum to put one together for me to look back on. It can be really time consuming but its definately time well spent.

Scrapbooks are enormous fun, especially for children. The type of scarpbook that Im going to describe to you, is one that I made with my little girl when she was about 12-18 months; it is, however, a great idea at any age, and the idea can be expanded upon as the child grows intellectually. *A Photo Album ...  Read the complete review

What great things scrap books are. When I was really little I made a scrap book of pictures of flowers. Cut from birthday cards,magazines,seed packets,pressed flowers(does anyone still do that?) It accumulated over a couple of years an brought me hours of fun. I used to be a dancer and my mum encouraged me to keep a scrap book of photos, ...  Read the complete review

When my elder son was born I tried to buy a scrap book, as a lot of the tiny baby books, such as the touch and feel ones which have textured parts of the page for kids to feel, are very expensive. I decided that while he was tiny and into chewing, spitting, puking etc., a home-made scrapbook would be better for him to practise on then expensive ...  Read the complete review

It is a constant struggle to keep sane at times, with my children arguing amongst themselves and it’s a never-ending battle to keep the house clean and tidy enough to live in!
