Scrap booking is definitely a creative hobby or activity which keeps you busy for hours resulting into a nice piece of art. Collage is a bit similar to scrap booking as it is also a mixture of few mediums. Collage can be learned very easily as there are not very definite rules or boundaries to adopt this hobby. You can develop your creativity by involving yourself for this creative pastime.
A 'collage' is a work of formal art, primarily in the visual arts, made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.
A collage may include newspaper clippings, ribbons, bits of colored or hand-made papers, portions of other artwork, photographs, a piece of moss or even a dead mole and other found objects, glued to a piece of paper or canvas. The origins of collage can be traced back hundreds of years, but this technique made a dramatic reappearance in the early 20th century as an art form of novelty.
