toniwoty2009

hi everyone,
not sure where to post this to get best response (sorry board guides )
i would LOVE to make a scrapbooking album of the lead up to our wedding but i found a kit which was £30 which seemed a bit :eek: and i found website where the lady will decorate the outside STUNNINGLY and they were only £35 so seemed a bit pointless. sooooooo anybody know where I can purchase a nice but cheap pref fairly plain scrapbooking album and the other bits i need like paper and so on?

also anyone got any ideas of what i definitely need to include in the album?!

thanks in advance!

Hi

I made a wedding type scrapbook for my sil and despite the album only costing me £2. It still cost me quite a bit, Her wedding theme was black, white and silver so thats the colour scheme I kept to. I printed off all the pictures and selected 2 for each page. I printed words off like beautifull bride, glamours bridesmaids etc and just used scraps of paper to mount them on to. I also bought some brads with wedding themes on them and put them on the pages. I also bought some peel offs and used these to decorate the page. I didnt scrap the whole page if i had of done it would of cost me a fortune. I bought some lovely paper and used bits of it here and ther. I also kept all the table decorations that I made for the wedding like the poems for the camera's, rock, and place settings and incorporated them into the album. I also printed off the words for her first dance, there are also some lovely poems out there about looking like a princess. My sil absolutely loved it my mil cried when she looked through it. I hope that you do one for your wedding because its the little things that you forget.

Hi toni,

eBay is a great place to find bargains on albums, papers and everything else you could possibly need:D

DCWV (Die Cuts With a View) brand make scrapbook kits that include everything you need to make your page layouts including papers and stickers. This may make it easier for you to get going with your project. They do a wedding kit which may suit? You could then use the same papers etc for a second scrapbook after the big event

K&Company make really beautiful scrapbooking supplies. Have a look here for thier wedding range. Or here for more of their ranges.

I would include details like: venue/s, list of people invited, sample wedding invite, menu for the food on the day, samples of dress fabric/ pics of clothing.
