Lori Holcomb
The Enquirer

Scrapbooking dads: Can the craft industry attract the men it needs?
by Sarah Gilbert
It was 2003 when I discovered scrapbooking. I had my first baby, an event that should immediately trigger an avalanche of scrapbooking marketing, and someone in my birthing class was having a scrapbooking “party,” which is exactly like a Tupperware party, but far less useful. Having a background in both newspaper design and photography, I shuddered at the sample pages — and still ended up with a $30-a-month paper/scissor/adhesive habit.

Growth has slowed, partially because of the reason I stopped scrapbooking: the ridiculous over-complexity of the craft. It’s not just expensive, it’s hard, and to do it the way they do in Creating Keepsakes, well, I’d have to quit my job.
