I am just starting to scrapbook my wedding. I have about 200+ candid pictures and over 700 professional pictures. We have a professional album with about 60 or so pictures in it and a regular photo album for the candids. I am wondering what I should do with my extra pictures after I am done scrapbooking. I can’t put all of the pictures into the scrapbook and its seems weird to have just the extras in an regular album. This is a silly problem, but I am wondering, how does everyone else deal with this?
For wedding pictures, I would put them in the attic in a good storage container. Here is a suggestion that my wife has done with multiple scrap books (not necessarily weddings). Scan all of the pictures, and put all of the images on a CD, then get one of the paper envelopes for CD’s and stick it in your photo album. That way whenever you get an urge to look at the photos (even the ones in the album), you can insert it into your computer or DVD player and give them a look. It doesn’t take much room that way, but you preserve the images so that you don’t have to go stumbling around in the attic to find them.

I give them to homeless people so they can pretend they have a family the next time they meet up with the other homeless people at a gala, maybe even a ball.. you know they like to hang out in the dumpsters in used tuxedoes that 12yr. old children used to wear.. but i digress.. i give them to homeless people so they feel important.

I would put them in an album. There is nothing wrong with having "Wedding 3"!! Someday you will be happy that you have pictures of good ole what’s her name! Or you can give the leftovers/duplicates (you only need 10 of what’s her name) to friends and family. References :
How do I get some scrapbooking done with no space?
I am living in a hospital room for weeks at a time. To keep myself occupied, I’d like to do a little scrapbooking, but always overdo it by bringing too much supplies. I ofton forget crucial items like the pictures!
Try digital scrapbooking at CropMom (http://www.cropmom.com). All you need is a computer connected to the Internet and your photos put on your hard drive.
What should I put in a scrapbook I made for my friend’s baby?
My friend is due at any time really, early this June. I bought a cute pink gingham scrapbook that I put her baby’s initials on. I already have pages in it like first steps, etc.
What kind of personal touches can I put in it so that it’s not your general everyday baby scrapbook?
Please, Thankyou and Godbless you for any help

In my daughter’s scrapbook I have a page that is all about the day she was born. What movies were popular, what songs were popular, who was the president, how much gasoline costed, and other important things like that. I also have a calendar that has each month for one year and says height and weight. Each month I take her measurements and record them on the calendar.
Where is the best deal on a Cricut Expression?
I am looking for a cricut Expression. Where can I find the best deal. I hate to buy from an online site that I don’t know about. I see Hobby lobby and Joann’s has coupons but they say they are not good on Cricuts. I don’t want the personal size.
Thanks
I got mine off of Amazon, but I know you can get good deals through eBay and Craigslist too. Just be careful that you’re dealing with a reputable dealer (ie – the seller has positive feedback or will let you see the machine before you buy) or that the site/service you purchase through offers some level of buyer protection (eBay and Amazon both do).
I’ve always had better luck getting deals online than in the stores near me, but you might have better luck in your area.

What are the best products (shelving, et al) to buy to build your own scrapbooking station at home?
I’m not looking for totes or anything for portable scrapbooking. I want to build a scrapbooking work center in my home office. What are the best products (shelving, cubes, etc) to use? And where can I find them? Thank you for your help!
Brand new in my Micheal’s store this month are Making Memories cubes, drawers (2) and turntable table top organizers. The cubes and drawers fit together and stack together. All are white and are made of MDF. Prices are good but the cubes only have 2 or 3 compartments. They also have a huge, lovely, white wall shelf. It’s a bout 4 inches deep and holds jars and stuff with 2 paper towel like holders for ribbon spools to spin freely on. Looks really nice. That’s what I would do but depending on how your paper is organized, you may need lots of cubes to separate colours etc. Good luck!
Where is the best place to start learning about digital scrapbooking?
I’ve done paper scrapping for a long while, but I’m terribly behind. I think digital scrapbooking might just be what I need to get back on track, but I’m overwhelmed with all of the info out there. Help! Where should I start?
First I would start by looking at the software you are going to use. How comfortable are you with using it? If the answer is not so much, I would recommend getting books and such on the software that will teach you how to do various things. If you are using Adobe Photoshop (CS, Elements, etc.), then you can access Adobe’s website for tutorials and tons of information. They also do a podcast if you are interested in that. I have found those useful. Nothing beats getting to see how someone does something step by step!!
If you are using other software, chek out their customer website to see if they offer any how-tos. Many of the various programs have a lot of similarities so even if you don’t have Adobe, you might want to take a gander over there.
Once you feel that you have a decent handle on your software I would go to a limited number of websites. Pick one that you feel give you the best directions on how-tos and have a forum to discuss things. Forums are a great chance to interact and get help when you are stuck! They often will also have archieves so that you can look for answers to questions that you have that may have been asked before. I will list a couple examples below of some websites that I have enjoyed for digital scrapping.
What are some good ideas for my Beta Club scrapbook?
I’m competing in scrapbook this upcoming weekend. The theme of our book is "Road Trip". So far we have done the membership pages which have each member on a "License" with maps as backgrounds. I using those green signs with the name of the city in how many miles as the content page, and a billboard as the title page. I need help with what to do on the officer pages, and service and activity pages. The activity pages and service pages are basically pictures and captions, I just need theme ideas. Thanks so much! We really want to win!
Route 66 with its vintage signs, the 50 states, do a convertible with everyone’s picture collages into the seats, a junk food page/spread (you know like Funyuns and truck stop burritos), National monuments or places people take road trips to like the Grand Canyon or from the snow country to the south.
Hope that helps.
What are good ideas for displaying pictures for a scrapbook?
I’ve seen several ways to display pictures in a scrapbook to save pages–a flip book, folding pages vertically/horizontally and even in one of those paper game fortune tellers kids play with (with numbers or colors). Any other ideas? I’ve been trying to look on sites but I’m not sure what to search under.
http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/shows_scb/0,2044,DIY_14332,00.html has TONS of scrapbooking ideas, plus there’s a tv show that you can watch that does some of the ideas on the website.
Which would you buy a cricut or a Xyron Personal Cutter?
A friend of mine already has a Cricut and another one is getting one soon. So I could use those and it might be fun to have the XPC and share. I have heard all sorts of things about both I am so confused!
I own the Xyron personal cutter and like it pretty well. However, after I had the opportunity of using the Cricut at a crop weekend I absolutely fell in love with the Cricut. It is much easier to use and I like the fonts better. The Cricut does cost more than the Xyron and now I don’t feel like I can spend the money, but if you don’t have a cutting machine yet, go with the cricut; it is worth it and you can probably find a good deal on eBay.
