Scrapbooking

I hope anyone can help me to provide more information about scrapbooking. Most of my friends are into scrapbooking now but I still don’t know how to make one for myself. My siblings and I are planning to make a Family Scrapbook for our parents and none of us has ever made one before. We have the ideas, but we haven't done the first thing because we don't know what to do. Can any experienced scrappers help us? Appreciate the help.
