Storing pictures in a scrapbook–the idea has been around for a long time. Unfortunately, acid and wood by-products used in paper can damage photographs (ever noticed an older photograph that has yellowed and faded?). The use of acid-free, lignin and ligninfree paper has changed the way we preserve photographs. This has made scrap booking a much more popular hobby. Today’s scrap books are bright and colorful. It’s a wonderful way to preserve and show precious memories that would otherwise go unnoticed in the dusty photo box under the bed.
While scrapbooking is becoming a popular hobby, it can also cause frustration when supplies aren’t available. There may be limited stock in local craft shops, even if they don’t specialize. Store clerks may lack the experience or knowledge to answer questions and explain the various techniques involved in scrap books.
