Scrapbooking Secrets by Alison McGregor

[freda tilly]

In the introduction to her ebook, Alison explains one of the reasons
why she believes scrapbooking is so popular "Standard photo albums can
be a little void of meaning because there's nothing there to prompt
your memory of how you were feeling. And photo albums are even more
boring for other people... That's why scrapbooks are so amazing,
because you can tell a story with your scrapbook, with few or no
words." Well put, I think, and an interesting start to a book which
does not disappoint.
After the introduction Alison's book then provides a short history of
scrapbooking. Now I have to be admit I usually find these sections a
bit of a waste of time. Too short to be of real value. Well on this
occasion I was wrong. Although only a couple of pages it gives a
fascinating insight into how and where scrapbooking started.
Then we're on to the "serious" stuff of scrapbooking itself, starting
with getting yourself organised and getting the proper materials and
tools. As Alison points out, your first scrapbook can be started with
very little and you can add more techniques and tools as you progress.
Alison goes into a good deal of detail in this section, not just
sketching briefly over things but offering her professional insight to
help you make the right choices. There's even several links to online
scrapbook stores and a useful page on cost-effective storage
solutions....
