What is the best way to learn creative scrapbooking? Is there a website or classes in the Philadelphia area?
I have seen some absolutely beautiful scrapbooks full of photographs. I have gone to the craft store and bought some scrap booking kits. I am wondering what are the die-cuts for and how to use them? What are essential items to purchase to be successful in scrap booking?
I have the basics such as books, paper and embellishments.

Try finding a scrapbook store in your area. Most will have classes. They will demo products for you. going to a crop will let you see what others are doing and what products they use. It is a good way to socialize and meet other scrappers.
You do need a good paper trimmer, Fiskars is a good brand.
