Scrapbooking for dummies

[pixelpixie]

Hi everybody. I have heard so much about scrapbooking and I thought it would be a great way to use and display the many pictures I love so much but I really have absolutely no clue where to begin. Can anyone give me some links or books or info. on this so I can get in on this stuff. (I think I have major OCD and need a new obssession! )
Thanks everybody

Here are some sites I used when getting started:

http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/shows_scb/0,2044,DIY_14332,00.html

I also used the following to look at what other people did for swaps - I found it really helped me to break it down into elements instead of trying to create an entire page:
(most are DIS swaps)

if you are ocd...believe me...you if you start this, you will eat breathe live scrapbooking. i started out just like you...and with the money i have spent on this stuff, i have a small car in my dining room...

start out with a scrapbooking 101 class at your local scrapbook shop..that is the way to start...
