i do use my pritt stick I can't afford to get papers/albums/page protecters etc that are acid/lignin free and as my scrapbooks are just for me and usually just paper copies of photos (digi camera so uploaded straight to pc) then i don't see a prob.

its ukscrappers website.
i have just been sticking the actual photos on. i thought the damage the photos would get by lying around, getting crushed etc would be far more than any acid lignin stuff? most of my photos are just stuffed around the place really.

I registered with UKS a couple of days ago and totally agree with you! I'm sure it's great when you get started but the very fact that you need to be "adopted" just to work out what to do put me off slightly. In saying that, I will no doubt snoop around until I'm hopelessly addicted!
The glue you use for your scrapbook should be acid/lignin free so that it lasts for years and years and doesn't ruin your precious photos!

as opposed to the wonderful care and attention dc give the photos when they whip them round and round demanding why they are not in the photo, and refusing to udnerstand it was taken X years before they were born?

if you do figure it out, please explain to me too.
