[*MUMMY*MEL*]

I found the kits best to start with

[Mummy2Mariah]

i look at kits tmw while out

[Leanne]

Kits are a great idea for beginners.

[mumof5]

i always buy kits for beginners .

Paula you have the right idea with the stuff that you have,DONT but paper from ebay as it cost a fortune to post

[Mummy2Mariah]

I wont be buying papper from ebay :) there shop down here that sell some really nice papper form 40c so ill go there. when i need some more lol

[Matilda]

don't be afraid to look at other members layouts to get ideas.

But don't go overboard with buying stuff. It can be really hard to create a layout when you have too much stuff to choose from.

[Mummy2Mariah]

i have been looking at other member member stuff they all pretty good

[Matilda]

you'll get there too.

I had no idea what I was doing when I first started.

Now bigW has a great range of Papers for only $12 and they contains 50 - 100 diffrent papers.
they also have some nice embelishments and a good price.
Punchies are great, tho there are alot out there that are really cheap and nasty and wont cut through cardstock and just break. I have been through many of them. so just see if they are heavy and made of steel/metal.

Ribbon is also good (but not to be used near a photo) and a straight cutter to cut large peices of paper at a right angle.

[Mummy2Mariah]

i have load of Punchies :) i got the big bolk lot from big w ages ago
i have loads of papper and cardstock i dont have many embelishments i didnt like what big w had :(

and what dose a straight cutter look like

I Have a cutting Mat

some shapes and letter stecils (sp) with the cutter circle looking thing
i have craft knife
ablum
sicess (sp) and i have the shape one aswell which i brought from big ages ago
few embelishments
2 scrap kits

one baby
Tape
like a 100 gel pens ( had these for ages aswell)

and that all i have so far i think

[Kay]

I wouldnt use the pens...

buy some made for scrapbooking as ink acid runs the fastest and its no good!

you want your albums to last a life time so better to buy compleatly acid and lignen free products to assure your preserving your memories for a lifetime.

Gosh I sould like a comercial haha and a know it all.. but I do know it all when it comes scrappin (almost lol still learnning)

[Mummy2Mariah]

lol i ask the lady at craft shop about the pens and she said that most gel pens are acid free... i guess i have buy some scrapbooking one

[Kay]

if they are cheaper ones they are on 100% acid free..

unfortuntly you are aloud to say they are acid free if they are even 10% acid free.. so I personaly wouldnt take the chance..

[Mummy2Mariah]

these one i got from big w but ill go get some propper one i dont was risk finding out they not in few years
