I wanted to do another scrapbook too but I don't
really have a lot of time right now. I suggest
you to take all the pictures and choose the pictures
that you like to include for your scrap book. You can
make a scrapbook for a single event like when you had
a vacation and all pictures in that event be included.
It would also be nice if you put some humorous or wacky
pictures on it. Regarding the materials you can use those
cut outs in the magazine and design it on your own.
Make it personalize as possible and show it off! happy
scrap booking my friend!

Scrap booking was a nice hobby to do for past time. Hope you can have a very nice output. I tried showing the last scrap book that I made to some of my school mates and friends last last year but unfortunately, one of those who borrowed it lost my scrap book so I don't have that one anymore. Take good care of your scrapbook as well.

i am very inspired to do it right now but i need first to prioritize, i enjoyed mylotting so scrapbooking will be done next week. hehehe. i am getting ready to chose those pictures i am going to put in it. i am dismayed that some people do not know how to return what they have borrowed, anyway you can still have your own scrapbook one of these days, i appreciate the reminder. =)

I have seen lots of cute scrapbooks, but I would never have the time to get all of the pictures I own put into scrapbooks. I like the acid free file boxes, as I think those are useful while you are getting ready to make some pages for scrapbooks. It is sometimes helpful to pick a theme to organize around , like holidays or birthdays or nature, and sort in that way for awhile. Put them in a file until you are ready to move them to pages. I still like to put some photos just in plain pockets.

what are acid free file boxes? where do i get them? all my pictures are in my desktop and i am afraid i am the only one who is enjoying it. i wanna share it to my friends and admire them and see them displayed in my room. are those acid free boxes different from those photo albums i see in a bookstore?

hi neh357 why not look in Walmart as they have tons of photo album and inexpensive organizers and all sorts of stuff like that. their prices'
are so much better than some of the little stationery shops and you
can usually find what you need there. You need some bookshelves to'
organize your books and they too can be found in 
Walmart I will bet.

Until you are able to get your scrapbook/s and supplies you need you can start getting them organized. Shoe boxes or similar containers are good to get them separated into groups. Good Luck and have a blast!

I think that if you wait a little until you have a little more money, then you could by the one you really like. Meantime, spend sometime to put them all in envelopes, organized by dates and events that took place in your life. so it will be easier to do later on. :)

Opps! I don't think I can help you with this neh357. I am not really good in organization...Mine is also messy and unorganized... Sometimes I am thinking of arranging them but, most of the time, I failed and forgot to sit on them... Anyways, goodluck!
