i need some help with scrapbooking

[Tam]

as most of you know i am doing an album for brenden's nanna's 80th, well i have got a mini pocket book like i got from secret santa.. my problem is there is 2 more kids then pages.. what i was thinking is getting some white cardboard and adding two pages onto of the other ones iykwim. do you think its ok to do that ? we dont want to double up on pages we want one page per child as we know if we dont do it that way some people may not like it, HELP me lol

[Leanne]

Can u add pockets to the album?

[Gbec]

i think u can buy extra pages for them, just buy extras and ull be right

[Tam]

nah you cant i will take a pic of it and the show you what i mean

[Tam]

i dont know where my usb cord is.. i will try and explain better.. i have a 4x4 album..it can hold 14 pics, i need room for 16 ( i know i can get a bigger album but we only want a small one cause its like a brag book for nanna) so i was thinking of getting some white cardboard, and sticking an extra 2 pages on to the top so they fold out when nanna wants to show them.. do you know what i mean lol ? do you think i can do that like the colour paper (or what ever its called) will cover the join

[Leanne]

can u buy another album and do 8 in each album

[Tam]

there is 14 pages... i dont want pages left over, what i am asking is, is it ok to do what i was thinking ? like with the right glue and what not

[Leanne]

i dont think i understand what you want to do exactly, and I am not an expert at scrapping you may have to wait for Jen or Kay to reply.

[Tam]

ok thanks any way leanne :)

[Kay]

you could do a kind of hinged page...

where there is a pic and then u can hinge it and it flips over to reveal another photo...

iykwim

[Kay]

this is what I had in my files....
kinda like this, u can even use ribben as the hinged bit.. I think ribben would look GREAT! YOu could make it as small or as big as u like to fit the page! I guess it would be cardstock in the middle

[mumof5]

yep can be done

[Tam]

kay that looks great.. thanks for that kay :) i will be starting it soon so i will post some pics when i done it i just hope i have it done in time, we dont have all the photo's yet

[mumof5]

if you know what photos you will be getting or size,you can do the scrap page and put photo in when you get it

[Tam]

we have some but we are waitting on 3 and i have to get the ones i have printed out (we got the emailed to us)

[Kay]

do u mean the inside of the front and back jenni..
(I wouldnt use the outside incase of scratching of photos, that is if it is what u ment of course)

[Tam]

yeah i counted them aswell i dont how to use hinges :( or the eyelets its just gonna be a basic layout cause yeah, i am just using paper and stickers and maybe a few other things if i can work out how to use them lol

[Leanne]

Hmm sorry hun I am not sure what else to suggest.
Kay and jen had some brilliant ideas.
I have a look around and see what i can find for you.
Are you sure that none of them can share a page?

[Kay]

the just get some cardstock. use a hole punch.. and just tie with ribbon.. thats easy

[Tam]

well i just called a scrapbooking place and she said just to take every thing in and she will give me a hand with what i want to know and stuff and she also said she will help me attach some more pages yay :D

[Tam]

[Kay]

[Tam]

its not the best but i think it looks ok i love nana's page

[mumof5]

its not the best but i think it looks ok i love nana's page
there are no rules for scrapping,every page that is done is made with love and perfect

[Gbec]

[Leanne]
