I agree. I enjoy scrapbooking more when it's with a group of gals. In fact, I even started a scrapbook group just for that purpose. My posting below in response to some of comments having to do with the purpose of scrapbooking. We don't need to scrapbook with archival safe anything anymore, unless you're working with old photographs or photos that you don't have negatives for, that is...

It s a social event. A get together, chat share ideas..I have done some pages on line as well. So dont knock the old way, not everyone has computers and digital cameras especially when you are dealing with old family pics.

Come on people - before digital cameras, creating scrapbook pages were for archival purposes and preserving memories. Scrapbooking today is simply for creative purposes. With online blogging, Flickr and email, photo albums are no longer the only way or even the most common way to preserve your family pictures or stories. In fact, unless you are still using film, your digital photographs won't last generations they'll barely last 20 years. So lighten up with the "future generation" stuff!

The last sentence is very superficial "Have designs that are pleasing to the eye and you will have a good page." Scrapbooks should be for future generations. What was the reaction of the family to the moonlanding and Vietnam? Are there photos of your History teacher and did they give you you with a love of the subject.What family memorabilia is there and what is its emotional impact. Excellent presentation is a good thing but scrapbooking should be about substance and not triangles
