Making scrapbooks is all the fucking rage nowadays. Hell, they even stores just for "scrapbooking", and church groups that meet to work on scrapbooks, and scrapbooking parties, and, as you saw, those gigantic kits for scrapbooking.

It's a total fad, and has been for a few years.

I'm sure it will disappear soon as the artless women who go from fad to fad find something else to do, like knit shawls or make raggedy ann dolls.

We had stamping a few years ago, now it's "scrapbooking".

Though i have to admit that, even while probably most of the scrapbooks being made are rather artless, the fad IS getting people to actually organize their photos, ticket stubs, postcards, and etc. into generally nice volumes that are usable and tell a story, even if every one of their photos from the Grand Canyon and Moab and Hawaii has a family member occupying at least a third of the surface area of the shot, or otherwise blocking the one thing that's actually of interest and the reason they took the picture to begin with.
