How do I put a scrapbook together?

Well at the craft store there will be a while aisle for scrapbooking. You have to get a book. Once you get a book, get some paper that is the same dimensions as your book. There will also be tons of kinds of stickers and kits, if you see any that look relevant you can certainly get those and I would suggest buying at least one package of letters. After you have all that you should gather up all your pictures and whatever together. Cut all the pictures out and arrange them on the page and once you have them where you like start gluing them down one by one. Each page should have a coherent theme. Hope that helps!

If you don't want to purchase an album, you can always use a 3-ring notebook binder with sheet protectors - which you can purchase separately an any office supply store. Get one with the clear plastic over the cover and you can put a piece of paper in there to make a nice cover design. As you finish each page, you can slide it down into a sheet protector. That would make your scrapbook pages 8 1/2 x 11 inches, but if you want to go bigger there are a lot of other scrapbook album sizes 8x8, 12x12 (the most popular) and there is also 8 1/2 x 11. All purchased scrapbooks come with 10 page protectors and that will give you a total of 20 pages. Just like putting things into regular sheet protectors, that is how you would assemble your scrapbook pages into an album. If you need more pages you can always purchase more to fit your album. Here's a link to some more information about types of scrapbook albums. Using 8 1.2 x 11 might make it easier in the event you may want to print something off on a printer as that size will fit any printer. Here's the link to some more info about the albums.
