IF your cupboard is full of your kid’s creations that have been accumulated over their schooling, and you have digital photos taking up room on your camera roll, you have no idea what to do with either, why not preserve those treasured moments into a scrapbook.

Scrapbooking allows you to create a special keepsake that you and your family can cherish for years to come.
Scrapbooking is all about telling a story. Gather your project’s contents, purchase an album, paper, stickers, and the basic supplies to make a start, and let creativity take place. I’m sure many of us can remember being kids ourselves and sitting at the kitchen bench, pasting photos and magazine cut outs onto coloured paper. That is scrapbooking in its early years. Today the options to create such art are limitless to the imagination.

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up,” Pablo Picasso.
