There are quite a bit of people who scrapbook. There are people who scrapbook with printed photos, paper and other embellishments and those that do digital scrapbooking. I am more of a traditional scarpbooker with paper. I like to move things around with my hand and feel all the different textures. To get started, you can buy a kit. Some kits even come with albums, glue and pens. You can also check out lots of scrapbooking sites online as well. They all have great ideas on them. You can also check out my site at www.scrappinsistersaz.com where my girlfriend and I do scrapbooking podcasts and blogs. Just as a warning, we're kind of goofy and it's not professionally produced. We just have fun.

I scrap book some.There are so many thing that you can buy. It is endless. You can get hundreds of dollars in it before you know it. My advice is to go to a hobby store or a discount store and get a book that is teaching and giving ideas on scrap booking. Have Fun!

Yes, a lot of people really do this lol. I got started a little over 3 years ago. I decided to do one when me and my s/o moved in together. I now have one for each year we have been together, one for our dog from when she was a puppy, one for each of our respect jobs, and one that I call 'across the miles' which is cards, letters, etc from my family. Check out scrapbook.com, they have ideas, tips, etc. it is a great website, they also have a discussion board, and it's free to become a member. To get started, first pick out a few pictures, of certain events, or special days. You will need at the least solid colored cardstock, and if there is printed cardstock for your specific event you can also purchase that. Watch for Micheal's and ACMoore's specials, a lot of time they will have their paper on for 4/1.00. You will need glue sticks, that are acid/lenin free, they won't ruin your pictures, scissors, and what ever embellishments you want to get.....prices vary from .99 to 5.00. I would hate to add up all that I have spent since I started scrapbooking! lol. I'm also counting down the days til I head to a Scrapbook Weekend Retreat in Va. Beach, this will be my second one to go to, and it is great fun, my oldest daughter is also going. Good luck and happy scrappin.

I have a scrapbook aside from school project scrapbook. It's my personal scrapbook.It's a compilation of our photos with labels when is that happened and when. I did my lovelife scarpbook from the first met of my husband, marriage and until we have a baby. Try it, you going to lvoe and enjoy it everytime you see your scarpbook which reminds you the past important events in your life. happy myloting.

I believe that a lot of people do this scrapbooking. I have no idea how to start other than to buy one of those kits they sell in the store. I don't do scrapbooking myself because I just don't have the time or the money.
