Scrapbooking

What is Scrapbooking?

Scrapbooking, or scrapbooking, creation, is by definition a form of creative leisure from the United States.
Scrapbooking comes from the English Scrap meaning pieces / leftovers and book meaning book / album.
This technique therefore consists in introducing photos into a setting related to a theme.
Decor made from different pieces of material.
This artistic technique allows you to enhance your photos and images through a more aesthetic presentation than a simple
Photo album.

Many scrapbooking techniques exist such as:

• Serendipity (embellishment of a page with scraps of paper)
• The tag (graffiti)
• Iris folding (paper folding technique giving relief to a pattern)
• spirella (technique that integrates thread into creation).
• Embossing or embossing (highlighting of lettering and drawing on card stock)

The practitioners and followers of this practice are called "scrapers" and "scrapeuses" or "collimagistes"

How to do Scrapbooking?

• The usual format for a scrapbooking page is 30 x 30 cm.
  However, all page and album formats are allowed according to the imagination and the material available to everyone.
