The number of people who practice scrapbooking is soaring. The roots of modern scrapbooking took place in Greece. Back in ancient times the practice of scrapbooking was called Hyponemata. The Greeks would place their thoughts feelings and ideas in a notebook. This is the first recorded instance of the practice and it appears that the Greeks were the only people in the world at that time to practice it. Fast forward to the 1400's when Gutenberg invented the printing press and printing became realistic for the average person. This gave practically anyone who wanted to, the material to make scrapbooks. The practice of entering information to the page is also done with commonplace notebooks which are a recent concept that is very similar to scrapbooking.

Okay so now society had a method to preserve their memorabilia and legacy. The notebooks were comprised of the producer's thoughts and ideas. Throw in some visually attractive decorations and now you have a modern day scrapbook. It isn't an expensive activity. All that is required to do it is some papers, glue, paper trimmers, scissors, and different kinds of pens and pencils.
