I just learned, after several years of scrapping, that tape rollers work beautifully for applying vellum. In the past, I've used glue sticks for everything, but they often left an ugly mess that was visible behind the vellum. I...

littlebird You might, as mentioned above, want to look into attending a crop night or host one yourself. One of the foremost scrapbooking companies is Creative Memories. They sell very high quality materials for reasonable prices, and they have consultants who can...

littlebird My definite favorite subject is my children! Mine are 2 years old and 9 months old, and I get some of the most hilarious as well as heart-warming pictures out of them!

littlebird I think the hands-on approach is still best...something about the time and effort it takes to make your book "the hard way" just seems to mean more to me. I think in the long run, the hand-made stuff seems more authentic. Also, though I have no personal...

Other than just storytelling - what are some other unique albums you have done or plan to do? Myself, I did my wedding guest book with a 7 x 7 album. I had acid free pens, and each guest was asked to write their message on one...

littlebird Oh! I am also working on an album to give my husband for Valentine's Day. He is a minister, and I thought it would be neat to take all the old pictures of the churches he's worked in, the people he's worked with, and put it together in one place. Often, a...

littlebird I have found an incredible price on the 12x12 books, if anyone is interested! Ross stores sell these books for $7-$10! Though the selection is limited, they do have some nice books for half the price you'll find them elsewhere.

littlebird I am currently working on my first smaller book, an 8x8, and I have found that it's definitely faster, and seems to be more detail-oriented. It is a lot different than the 12x12, which I often found harder to fill the space, especially if I just have two...

Yesterday I vendored at an all day crop for a MOPS group. The one thing I noticed was how stressed some of these crafters were. They kept talking about how far behind they have gotten and how they just have to get the baby book...

littlebird I recently had my second child, and at the time I was a year "behind" on my older daughter's book. For some, a year's worth of pictures isn't that much, but she is our first-born and we just got a new digital camera (need I say more?) But I've recently...

littlebird I tend to run on a time line, but I also like to theme pages together. Since most of my books have been for my two young children, I'll do two "bath-time" pages, or two "silly faces" pages, that are often out of order time-wise. I definitely think you should...

littlebird I think this is a wonderful album idea! My children are both very young, and those little things are what make life interesting! That would also be such a fun little book for them to look back on, especially when they become parents and call to ask, "Mom, what...

littlebird These ideas are so helpful! I'm just not sure when I'll have the time to use them all! I am thinking about doing a family tree album (or I've also heard them called "heritage albums") to organize and preserve all the old black and white photos my dad has...
