first time scrapbooker

[eliza61]

Hi guys,
I have about 10 years worth of pictures from family disney vacations. I love them because the show my kids from preschoolers to high school graduates. I want to put them in a scrapbook but have no idea how to start.
Where do I begin?

Welcome to our little corner of the boards. I would suggest starting by taking a basic class at a local craft store. I would also suggest thinking about how you want to scrap those photos- do you want to do one large book that spans the years and shows the various times in your lives you were there or do you want a seperate book for each trip. It doesn't matter which you choose but it will make a big difference in how you scrap. Once you have done that- begin dividing up your photos- you can buy a box for this or use a shoebox with paper between each group of photos- you can divide them into trips or park areas depending on which way you choose to make your books.

When you have decided which way to go then we can help you move on to the next step.

Thanks Rebecca,

Be careful what you ask for, in a few months after I've posted 6 million question you guys made end up running for the hills.

Take some time to look at the books others on this board have put together. There are tons of ideas in the stickeys at the top of the board as well.

Also, take a look at this thread www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2258305 She just finished a book where she integrated pictures of herself as a child with pictures of her family now. Might be a good idea if you decide to do one combined book.

You are going to have tons of fun! I always get the warm fuzzies when I am surrounded by family vacation pics
