Consider it scrapbook therapy. Ronkonkoma scrapbooker Kristina Contes, who appeared in a recent Newsday story about crafting, just published her first book. "We Dare You" (Memory Makers, $22.99) is 127 all-color pages of inspiration for hip young scrapbookers like Contes.
Beyond ideas for eye-catching layouts, Contes and her three co-authors challenge the reader to try something unexpected with their albums - like scrapbooking beyond the typical ultra-happy affairs (weddings, parties) to include life moments that have been poignant, scary or even sad.
