On one of the message boards I frequent, people were arguing about what is safe for your scrapbooks. Luckily, the Scrapbook Preservation Society printed a pamphlet on just this topic.

You can print it out and keep it next to your scrapbooking area. Then, the next time you are worried about whether or not something is safe to use, you can check your list.
But honestly, if you have photos that are really precious, and you can't get a replacement, I really recommend that you have a professional copy made. Then, you can keep the original in an archival safe enviroment (like a photo safe) and scrap the copy. I would rather be safe than sorry with really rare photos.
About Me
- Melissa, Legacy Paper Arts
- Many of you may have met Melissa, the owner of Legacy Paper Arts, at a scrapbook convention. Melissa started scrapbooking at a young age with her Mrs. Grossman’s sticker albums (oh come on, you know you all had them, LOL). But soon college and graduate school took her away from her passions (a little known fact about Melissa is that she has a Masters in Biomedical Sciences, which is a combination degree in physiology, pharmacology and cell and molecular biology as well as a MBA). Once she settled down to have children, she came back to scrapbooking with a passion. Since she did not want to go back to working the crazy hours of a MBA after having her first child, she started thinking about other business ideas. This lead to the creation of Legacy Paper Arts in May 2004. Melissa is the designer of all the products on the website. She has two boys (hence all the “boy” products) and a husband of 12 years who is the owner/winemaker at www.DeTierraVineyards.com.
