A hand-made scrapbook is a work of art.  It can be a coalescence of photo memories, written history, and artistic creativity.

If you love scrapbooks the hours it takes to create them are nothing compared to the joy of seeing your visions come alive.  And the boxes of special papers with their textures, patterns, and colors , the ribbons, the embellishments, the stamps, and all the other scrapbooking paraphernalia are the scrapbooker’s delights and special toys.

But to others all these materials are nothing but clutter.  And the thought of spending hours selecting photos, choosing just the right papers, and writing about  the significance of those photos feels more like a chore than a thrill.

There is an alternative to all that physical clutter.  It’s called on-line photo albums where you create scrapbook pages on line and order the pages or the book from the vendor.  There are also many computer software programs that allow you to create your own pages digitally and print them out yourself.

Again, for some, this is just too much work!  And many folks just don’t feel creative enough to take on something like this.  They’d rather be out bicycling, swimming, or hiking.  For them, there is still another alternative — Hire someone to do it for you!
