Lignin is the natural bonding element which holds wood fibers together. It is the chemical found in paper that causes it to yellow with age. Newsprint contains lignin—you’ll notice how brittle and yellowed a newspaper becomes after just a few days. Like acid, lignin can be removed during processing to make scrapbooking paper safe. Look for "lignin-free" paper.

Try to find some made out of Polypropylene plastic, polyester or acrylic. These materials are safe for photographs and paper and will not cause any damage or degradation to them.
4
Polyvinyl chlorine (PVC) plastic is the type that degrades over time releasing the chlorine as a gas. Plastics with PVC’s and PVA’s can cause photos to become yellow and become sticky over time and damage delicate scrapbook items.
5
Scrapbooking allows us to share with future generations and others, what we believed, how we lived and helps keep the past alive for the future.
6
To repair a journaling error you cover the writing with stickers, use a small piece of paper like a background to cover it up, or re-write by starting over.

Matting

Double Matting
A technique where two mats, with contrasting colors, are cut with slightly different sized opening. This allow you to see a small amount of the inner color mat as well as a larger amount of the outer mat. This create a very elegant contrast and accent for the portrait.
