Charlotte County Genealogical Society Meeting: Another Way to Scrapbook (CCGS Activities)

Presented by Matt Felber
Another Way to Scrapbook
Matt Felber
Scrapbooking is an excellent way to preserve and tell our family history. However, it can be messy and requires special tools and supplies and creative talent. Sometimes you wind up with a bulky, hard to file book that’s almost impossible to duplicate or share.
By using a computer and an internet connection, you can scrapbook with just a few clicks of your mouse. This alternative way to the old method eliminates the mess and makes impressive scrapbooks, easily bound like any other book, and easy to have a copy made. Learn the alternative way at the February meeting.
