Scrapbooking is the creative preservation of your photographs and memorabilia in an acid-free, photo-safe manner. (Acid in papers, adhesives, plastics and albums can cause your photos to fade and spot.)
What Do I Need to Get Started?
Not only is scrapbooking fun and creative, it is also easy and inexpensive to get started.
To get going, we recommend the following basic items:
Package of Acid-Free Cardstock (20-30 sheets) on which to place photos. Archival Page Protectors in which to place finished photos.
Photo-Fix Adhesive (or a tape runner adhesive) —Never use glue on photos! The photo fix is a double-sided adhesive square that you simply place on the back of your photo; it will hold the photo in place on the acid-free paper.
Pigment-Ink Black Pen —We recommend either the ZIG Millennium pen (available in five tip widths), the ZIG Twin Tip Writer pen, or a Stabilo pencil. Remember to use a pigment-ink pen to write on the back of your photos-and be sure to give the ink a few seconds to dry. Never write on the back of your photos with a ballpoint pen!
Oval or Circle Template—This will allow you to crop (cut) your photos into a shape. When shaping a photo, be sure that you don't cut out any important "historical" information (such as avocado-green refrigerators!). Remember only to crop photos for which you have negatives-never crop polaroids.
Personal Trimmer—This allows you to cut perfectly straight lines every time!
