I've never made one but if it was me doing it I would get a chip board album something like this - cover the pages add a journalling space (page out of a lined notebook) and leave enough room for 6 x 4 photos
HTH

Oh! Rusty, what a carp day you've had, (((HUGS))) going out to your littley's and you.

Glad you got your hospital appointments sorted with your up line, Padster.

One heck of a week for me, this week we are off to Portsmouth for a Red Hat Convention on Friday morning and I've got three door hangings to do. Besides walking doggy and going to work and off to the theatre on Wednesday somehow I've got to fit it all in. I'll try and fit as many blog posts as I can but don't be surprised if I disappear for a while.

Rusty - what a nightmare!! I think I would have been in tears too!!

Can I ask when you print images out what weight paper do you use?? or do you just use ordinary printer paper?? Got a couple of things I want to print as well as the lovely halloween prints from earlier and wondering what would give me the best finish - thanking you all in advance for your help!!

Ali I just use ordinary printer paper for backing paper although I think some use a heavier paper, then to print images I usually use photo paper either matt or glossy depending what type of card I'm doing although I have run out of both at the moment so used white card to print the images on my christmas cards yesterday. hth

Rusty so sorry to hear what a horrible day you have had today hopefully tomorrow will be better for you.
