    Had a bit more time than I thought clearing mums flat out yesterday so popped into Colemans and got 2 chipboard albums -one is already covered and is just four pages - can't see the make on it other than 'around the block' if that makes any sense. It was £2.99.
    The other is plain chipboard with brown check ribbon to tie it up...........not sure how many pages (still in the cellophane) but it was £3.99. Not much else in the way of papers though and think I might order some basic grey from web site.

    If you have a scanner make sure that you scan the photos etc if you are using originals just in case you accidently get glue etc on one of the photos. At least that way you can cut them out as you can keep the originals original IYSWIM>

    I know exactly what you mean mumofjusttwo, already decided to use copies as some of the photos will be really old and not mine. Plus like you say I daren't risk damaging special memories.

    I'm thinking just plain paper....infact I'd like the whole book not to be too fussy. I've had a look at envelope books here which are kind of like the thing I'm looking for - but just paper, not envelopes!!!!

    Mshelsbels That sounds lovely :) Have been looking for wedding things for a friend, so ill find some links for the nicest stuff. Are you thinking of blank papers, or having embellishments etc on each?

    Its such a unique idea! Im new to this too but im happy to help if i can.
    Women marry men hoping they will change, men marry women hoping they won't! Inevitably they will both be disappointed.

    Thank-you. It's my granddaughter, one of a series of photos, when she was sat on the conservatory windowsill pretending to pose like a model!
