+++Scrapbookers please help me!+++

Dh's gran is 90 in a few weeks and I thought a nice gift would be to create a scrapbook of her children, grandchildren and great granchildren as she loves her photographs very much. However I'm completely creatively challenged and need some help.
Can anyone recommend a kit with sort of antique style pages and step by step instructions on page layouts? I love the thought of scrapbooking but the page layout thing scares me.
Is maybe a brag book the better option for me or is that just as challenging?
Any ideas/suggestions welcome!

If you are looking for a really easy way out google 'yophoto'. They produce reasonable bound books of your photos. Scan them in if you have old photos, arrange them using their own free downloadable software and bobs your uncle you have alovely keepsake. I am an avid scrapper, but if you only have a few weeks... this is an easy option.

But.... if you don't have many photos, try an 8x8 scrapbook, there are loads of kits about, try hobby craft or a local craft shop if you have one. I personally like Creative Memories, but this does involve attending a workshop and works out at being costly if it is just a one off.

hot off the press do books that come with papers, bitz and project/instructions.

vintage stuff is very popular so there's loads of products available to you,
die cuts with a view do lovely stuff.

you can search the net for galleries of vintage pages to get ideas.

shout out if you get stuck lots of fabby crafters here.
