Hi
I have never scrap booked in my life, apart from when I was about 8 and stuck a load of postcards in a notebook. But I am thinking of doing two within the next couple of months.
My brother recently died. It was quite sudden, and very very sad. He was 40. He leaves his wife and his 2 year old son. It's just awful and I cannot understand it.
I have been collating photos and memories that people have kindly given us, and now need to find a way of displaying these. My options are as a photobook, a coffee table book or as a scrap book. A photobook won't give me the option of largish amount of texts so I am probably ruling that out. Coffee table books are a huge cost, which in the sad grand scheme of things isn't that big a deal but I would also like to do a copy for my mum.
So I am exploring the idea of a scrapbook but I have no idea where to start. I want it to look amazing. My brother was creative and I need to reflect his personality in this.
So, my questions at the moment are...
What do I need?
How long will this take me?
Any online resources to help me?
How can I preserve the life of the photos?
Literally, the only things I have are photos and written memories. I have no ticket stubs, etc. I do have a blog which he did when he went travelling so I am planning on taking out parts of the text and putting them in.
Any advice would be good. I am undertaking this as part of therapy as getting through this.
