What scrapbooking supplies do you need to get started?  - A guide to the huge range of scrapbook supplies and scrapbooking materials on offer

There are some basic scrapbooking supplies that all scrappers need before they can get started.  Scrapbook albums come in a choice of sizes, colors and styles.  Those with ringed binders or strap hinged ones are good because pages can easily be added or removed.  It’s worth buying refill pages when you buy an album so you can be sure they’ll fit.  Most scrapbook papers come in standard sizes of 12 x 12 or 8.5 x 11.  Other essential scrapbooking materials include acid-free adhesives such as mounting squares, to allow you to stick your precious photographs to your pages without damaging them.  Sharp scissors or a paper trimmer are needed for planning your page layouts and cropping.  Other useful scrapbook supplies include acid-free pens for adding titles, quotes and other annotations, and a die cut machine.

Scrapbooking supplies that allow you to really let your creative flair loose include all sorts of embellishments, which often come in handy scrapbook kits.  From 3D stickers to paper piecing kits, which come in a massive selection of images, including paper dolls, there are decorative scrapbooking materials to compliment scrapbooks of any theme.  For instance, embellishment for a wedding scrapbook could be silver bell stickers or to show off exotic vacation snaps, cut outs of the sun or palm trees could be used.  There are scrapbook supplies and accessories for all different themes, from heritage albums to graduation scrapbooks.  With some careful planning, you should be able to find the perfect supplies to create beautiful keepsakes of your special moments.
