What You Need

Now we will talk about what you need to scrapbook. First of all, you'll need an album of some kind. They are available in all kinds of sizes and colors. Be prepared to pay around $10.00-$20.00 for an album. The most common size is 12" x 12". There are many other sizes as well, even mini albums! The next most important thing is paper (this is if you already have your photos handy.) They have paper that they sell by the sheet as well as in packs. You will need patterned paper (PP) and cardstock (CS). Next you'll need embellishments. There are all kind of embellishments including flowers, brads, eyelets, stickers, and all kinds of other things. I also want to mention that for inspiration, you can't beat scrapbook.com. Also the abbreviations are what I'm going to be calling them so pay special attention to them. Next we'll talk about making a basic scrapbook page.
