What should new members know?

To be successful in the 4-H Scrapbooking project participants will need to attend workshops and complete their record book. The final workshop will go over recording this project in the 4-H'ers record book.

You will be required to purchase some materials prior to the first meeting

Materials list

• Photo album – specific for scrapbooking can be purchased at Hobby Lobby, Joann’s or Wal-Mart.
• 12 x 12-inch storage box – used to hold project while working on it.
• Photos to be used to make your photo album.  My recommendation is something from a specific vacation or from a fun day/event that means something to you.
  • Typically, you will want about 15 pictures to start with.  More are always great!

Supplies needed to be successful in this project are:

• Pictures – lots and lots of pictures.
• Scrapbook – this can be a handmade book or it can be a premade book (at least 10 pages.)
• Page protectors for scrapbook pages. 
• Additional scrapbook pages that fit your specific scrapbook – these will need to be lignan and acid free pages. Most premade books come this way.
• Photo sticker squares or running scrapbook tape.
• Embellishments to create memorable pages for your book.
• 12" X 12" sterilite crafting box to hold all scrapbooking items. 

Other items like unique cutting scissors, pens, markers, etc. will be provided by the project superintendent.

And above all you will need to purchase the project book Scrapbooking – A 4-H Guide to Preserving Memories. 

Workshops
