Helpful Tips

• Don't store your photos in the older "magnetic" albums.  If you have photos in "magnetic" albums, remove them amd store them in envelopes or photo boxes until you're ready to put them in your new albums.

• Don't use ballpoint pens to label the backs of your photos.  This can cause indentations or smearing on other photos.  Instead, use a photo-marking pencil for labeling.

• Don't feel like you have to use every picture in your album.  Choose the best photos for your album and store the rest in an acid free box.

• Don't let the stickers, die cuts and other decorations on a page overshadow the pictures and journaling.

• Work on scrapbooks with friends or family so you can share and pool your supplies.

• Swap extra supplies or things you no longer use with other scrapbookers.

• Save all your papers and use them for punching out designs, backing smaller photos and cutting out shapes.

• If you use double-sided adhesive, cut them into pieces for mounting smaller photos or die cuts.

• Trace your own clip art from a child's coloring book.

• Save greeting cards and wrapping paper to use for cutting out designs and punches (test pH for acid).

• When processing your film, have duplicates made.  Duplicates are much cheaper than reprints made later.
