As our lives progress, that which is meaningful to us becomes even more important. Our memories of family, friends, and treasured experiences are sources of joy we want to visit again and again. “A Lasting Legacy” is a guide for creating memory albums that are meaningful, attractive, and long-lasting. The carefully researched and clearly presented information in this book will help you choose materials for durable storage and creative display of photographs and memorabilia. Potentially confusing concepts are explained, and sources for suitable materials are provided.

At the heart of this book is a fun five-lesson section on album page design. Learn to enjoy the page creation process by experimenting with design principles in five layouts. Make the most of your scrapbooks through the use of color, border design, photo cropping, and placement. Enjoy adding little extras, such as stickers, stamped images, and special textures. Discover your own style, personalize your albums, and communicate your personality.

The most important aspect of scrapbooks is the message you send to the next generation. Make your albums meaningful through the inclusion of family history information, written comments, and memorabilia. Top Tips at the end of each chapter summarize the information and make it easy to find. Methods for preservation of video tapes, audio tapes, heirlooms, and genealogy records are covered, and a full chapter of scrapbook resources on the internet provides ample sources for additional information. Over 150 sources of retail and wholesale supplies are included in the resource appendix.
