Scrapbooking

Scrapbooking has a long and rich tradition. What was probably once only a hobby has become a lifestyle with many scrapbooking fundis around the world making a living from doing it fulltime.

The art of scrapbooking allows a person to tell a rich story with only two or three photographs. The only thing holding you back from creating a scrapbook masterpiece is your own imagination!

You need only a few basic tools to start scrapbooking. Below is a list of some of the basic tools in the scrapbooker's toolbox.
