Southpointe Community Association Scrapbook Club

What is Scrapbooking?

Scrapbooking is organizing and displaying photos and memorabilia in a creative meaningful way. It preserves history by identifying dates, people and events. By cutting (or cropping) photos and memorabilia, we get rid of the excess or the background and keep the focus. We use tools to cut, decorate and display these items. We add words, borders, stickers, etc…to make them even more special and eye appealing.

The SCA Scrapbook Club will give you the opportunity to get together with other people who do scrapbooking. It allows you access to resources you might not have alone, such as ideas and tools, gives you a chance to learn new techniques and skills.
