People have been making scrapbooks in some form or fashion for centuries. Scrapbooking as it is currently known is a relatively new hobby that has taken this country by storm. Scrapbooks have gone way beyond the basic pictures taped on a page with a few paragraphs of commentary to become a whole new art form. An entire industry has emerged in the past decade selling products and tips for scrapbookers. There are entire magazines dedicated to the hobby of scrapbooking. Avid scrapbookers can even attend conferences to swap ideas with other scrappers from all over the country.
