TIPS
Barb Houston suggested to be sure you take pictures of your children individually so they can have a scrapbook page just for them.
Lynne Walters suggested to take some classes if you are nervous about getting started. "After taking a few classes, I was much more confident," she said. She also suggested that scrapbook magazines have a lot of ideas.
Nancy Manuel suggested to keep your photos in chronological order, and to keep the seasons together.
Michelle Nicole Smith suggested that beginners should not try to scrapbook all their pictures, just their favorite ones.
Jennifer White suggested, "If your child is in a school photo and she's the one wearing yellow, use a yellow mat." Buy three differently colored card stocks to begin a page. Buy within the same company and the colors will match. When your picture is dark, you don't want a dark background. Don't crop pictures down too much because you have more blank paper to cover up; and you may get rid of family history like the family car. White does a family scrapbook album for each year, in addition to theme albums.
