Here are her tips:
1 Invest in a good camera
2. Snap some black and white
3. Tell the story behind the photos: A picture isn't worth a thousand words when it comes to scrapbooking. Writing about the story behind the photo's is as important as the pictures themselves. Remember to go beyond the who , when where why and what and capture the real emotion behind the photos. Also while computer fonts are a good thing, don't forget to use your own hand writting on some of you lay outs
4. try tearing A ripped jagged edge will always be in style. Remember ripping towards you will give you more dimension on the edge of your paper. Also if you want a white ripped edge use paper that hs been dipped in dye
5. Use vellum:Translucent paper adds a lot of persnality to a page only use vellum if you can see the texture, a design or text underneath it
6. add color with chalk
7 create texture with out the bulk: Textures will always be in but bulky textures will eventually ruining your scrapbooks. Great non bulky texture items I love to use are crumpled paper, twine and ribbon, mesh, embroidery floss and flat button, fabric and brads
8 Display memorablilia on your pages
9. Cut photos into basic shapes Remember the days when we cropped our photos into every shape possible? Those days are gone forever I now leave most of my photos in the original rectangular shape If I have to crop a photo I'll crop in into a square, circle or oval.
10. Stock up on cardstock
Those are her top 10. On the ones I thought needed more explaination I copied what she had written. SO it is her information.
Here is the web site she said you can have your hand writing turned into a font.

I went to the site but for the life of me couldn't find how to do that! Maybe you guys will have better luck!
