Scrapbooking
Made Easy *
Scrapbooking is the creative preservation of your photographs and memorabilia in an
acid-free, photo-safe manner. Acid in papers, adhesives, plastics, and albums can cause
your photos to fade and spot.
WHAT DO I NEED TO GET STARTED?
Scrapbooking is not only fun and creative, it is also easy and inexpensive to get started.
To get going, we recommend the following basic items:
1. Package of acid-free cardstock (20 to 30 sheets) to place photos on.
2. Archival page protectors to place finished photos in.
3. Photo fix adhesive (or a tape runner adhesive)—NEVER use glues on photos! The
photo fix is a double-sided adhesive square that you simply place on the back of
your photo and it will hold the photo in place on the acid-free cardstock.
4. Pigment ink black pen—We recommend either the Millennium Pen (available in
five tip widths) or the Writer Twin Tip Pen. Remember to use a pigment ink pen
(or the stabilo pencil listed below) to write on the back of your photos (be sure to
allow the ink a few seconds to dry). Never write on the back of your photos with
a ballpoint pen!
5. Oval or circle template—This will allow you to “crop” (cut) your photos into
a shape. When shaping a photo, be sure that you don’t cut out any important
“historical” information (such as avocado green fridges)! Remember to NEVER
crop a Polaroid picture or a photo that you do not have a negative for.
6. Personal trimmer—This allows you to cut perfectly straight lines every time!
