There’s bound to be a reason behind the popularity of scrapbooking. If you take the time to ask anyone who’s involved in scrapbooking you’ll soon find that many of them will tell you the same thing.

Many will say they do it to create an attractive and personal way to display their photos. Others will say they do it to preserve memories.

Still other scrappers will say they do it for enjoyment and personal satisfaction. There is no right or wrong reason. Each person’s reason is as real, valid and important to them as the next.

If you’re one of the multitudes of people who take pictures by the dozens and then never get them put into album then you’re a prime example why someone should scrapbook. Not only will it get your photos into an album, but it allows you to create a beautiful display for all memories that the photos represent.

At the same time you will have another good reason to show all those photos off. Preserving memories may be the most important reason to scrapbook.

By creating a scrapbook you’re not just making an attractive display for your photos. By adding memorabilia and journaling to what would otherwise be a photo album you’ve created a storybook about your family. This storybook is sure to become a family treasure that will be appreciated for generations to come.

Enjoyment and personal satisfaction are equally as important as any other reasons for scrapbooking. In today’s world we all find ourselves enduring too much stress, not enough R&R and too little time to ourselves. We find ourselves struggling to maintain a balance between our commitments and having time to do something that we want to do just for ourselves.

Scrapbooking is a creative outlet that many people have found provides them a great deal of enjoyment while giving them a feeling of personal satisfaction when they’ve finished a new scrapbook.

As you can see, the reasons you should scrapbook are very different and yet very much interconnected.

No matter what your primary reason for scrapbooking is, you’ll soon realize that you will benefit just as much for all the other reasons that I’ve mentioned. Scrapbooking is a hobby that is constantly growing in popularity providing more and more resources to enhance your enjoyment of the hobby you love.
