How to Do Scrapbooking with Non-Traditional Items

Summary: Scrapbooking is a craft that utilizes many different skills—photography, page layout and design. Scrapbooking has been around since people were taking photos. It is a way to visually preserve moments, feelings or experiences in your life that might otherwise be written down or forgotten. It all started in 1976 when Marielen W. Christensen began keeping a book of photographs in new devices called sheet protectors. By 1980, she had assembled over 50 of these books and was asked to display them at the World Conference on Records in Salt Lake City. Since then the door of scrapbooking has been opened and flooded by people wanting to find unique ways to remember their pasts and experiences.
