If you have thought about starting a scrapbook but have no idea where to start, pick up a copy of Let’s Start Scrapbooking, by Better Homes and Gardens.  I liked it because it is written for complete beginners, and explains basic things like which adhesives to use and how to design your pages.  I found it at Target, but it’s also available at bookstores in the magazine section, at craft stores, and on Amazon.
