I would really appreciate some help.

I want to make a scrapbook in memory of my dad. I've never got over him dying and think this may help. I am going to include photo's of him just before he fell ill when he was healthy and happy also some photos with my late mum, me on my wedding day and with dd1.

I don't know where to begin. I make cards but thats about it, i wouldn't know where to get the albums or if i need special albums.

I would really really appreciate any help you can give.

Also recommend www.craftmagic.co.uk but can never seem to link to it

Have used all (recently Blush) and they are all great, modern scrapbooking and canny crafts have postage discounts at the moment though.

Like other posters, can start you off with a bit of stash- feel free to e mail your address, between some of us I am sure we can help with a project like this

Radley · 14/03/2006 20:16

LOL. I think I may have to walk to my local craft shop in the morning to find some bits to make dad's album extra special.

Shame- what a hardship.

Radley · 16/03/2006 13:50

I've got the scrapbook and the sheets etc and I am totally at a loss now what to do next, any advice?

OP posts:

have you sorted which photo's you want to use?

sunchowder · 16/03/2006 15:45

Once you select the photos, see which papers look nice with it. Firstly, you must have a bit of fun. Decide if you want a solid background paper and then to use the decorative one as a sideline, keep moving the papers around till you get it the way that you like it. I am sure someone else will be around to help you more than I can!

sunchowder · 16/03/2006 15:49

This is a good site also: \link{http://scrapbooking.com/\scrapbookinglayouts}

Radley · 16/03/2006 16:11

Thank you very much, no i've not get any photo's down yet.

I'll have a look at that site now.

Well, I just order some bazzill cards and some vellum accents, when the glue etc comes I'll be ready to get cracking.
