The scrapbooking market has quadrupled in the last 5 years to over a ŭ billion business and is still growing.

Many moms get into scrapbooking when their children are born, with a home sales program called creative memories.  Then once they get into it and begin shopping at scrapbook stores, collecting paper, embellishments and every scrapbooking supply can lead to monthly spending in the hundreds of dollars.

Scrapbooking has evolved to so much more, the emphasis is more about the pictures and then adding some nice embellishments to your pages and enhancing your pictures and telling the stories and the memories.

But you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg; the scrapbook store has classes so you don’t have to buy everything now.

A class or crop at a scrapbook store give you an ability to come in on a weekend night, bring your pictures, lay them out on a table, have store at your access so you can match your pictures and buy exactly what you need and not necessarily stock pile those supplies at home.  They also give moms a chance to get out of the house, let dad bond with kids and gives mom a break.

Once you’ve lovingly made a scrapbook filled with pictures and memories of special family times and milestones, it becomes more than a photo album, it is a treasured artwork that everyone in the family enjoys over and over again.  It’s easy to see how these moms become addicted to scrapbooking.
