Scrap Albums The handmade photo albums are no doubt a "core" of the scrapbooking.

Initially, scrapbooking was all about photo albums decoration with photos and inscriptions. At first decoration wasn't so much important in itself, but eventually, with an advent of loads of various furnishings, it started to play an important part in scrapbooking – probably, the most prominent one. The development of up-to-date materials and original techniques for this particular hobby made it widely popular. But while the albums may acquire new shapes and appearances, they still continue to keep the stories of our lives for someone to read them.

You may simply bind together different scrap-pages, though it will be much more interesting to think of a whole project, unified in idea and style. Such a project has to be well-thought and you should bear in mind what you want to obtain in the end. You will have to choose the size, volume, cover and type of binding, invent a theme and a style... This book will shed a light on these issues and give you some practical advice on the most important details. size 205x205 mm \ pp 112 ISBN \ 978-5-222-24209-4 PHOENIX PUBLISHING HOUSE 19
