This review is from: Scrap Your Stuff: Keepsake Scrapbooking to Capture Special Memories (Create & Treasure (C&T Publishing)) (Paperback)

Scrapbooking has become such a huge hobby in the past few years. Thanks to digital photography and computer graphics and such, this once old time hobby has grown enormously popular in the 21st century. "Scrap your Stuff" from C & T presents 28 different scrapbooking ideas for anyone, from the beginner or to the old pro.

For example, capture the birth of a new baby, not just with photos, but also by including a copy of the baby's footprints, their hospital wristband, birth record and more. These "Day in the Life" ideas also include suggestions such as remembering the first day of kindergarten or the first trip to the zoo. Other ideas include "Family Pride" or "Generations Long Ago" where you can celebrate an ancestor's military career, or commemorate the opening of a family business.

Some more wonderful ideas include creating scrapbooks to celebrate holidays or family vacations. The section on "Kid's Stuff" includes ideas for capturing that big youth sports season or a trip to a professional sports game or rock concert. All of the ideas are quite fun and easy to do. Outstanding full-color photography accompanies step-by-step instructions, full materials lists, and tips on where to buy materials. A must have for anyone who is into scrapbooking!
