What items do you need to get started scrapbooking?

I want to give my mom a startup kit so she can start scrapbooking. Just wanna get some ideas on the best stuff to include to get her started.

My daughter bought me a startup kit when she learned I wanted to start scrapbooking. It was sold as a kit, and had everything needed to make an album, the album, page protectors, cardstock and paper in different colors and patterns, stickers, alphabets, other emblishments, plus a booklet with suggestions and instructions. Some come with glue and scissors, too.

Those kits come in many different styles and price ranges, and I think would be great for you to get her, since you don’t know what is needed, just like my daughter. And, it’s cheaper to buy a kit than each thing individually, trying to color coordinate it all.
