Scrapbooking thread

I am not going to put anything inside the envelopes as my mum is quite sentimental and i thought she could use them to put momentos in.

For those of you that like doing scrapbooking digitally, Photobucket who a lot of us use for putting pictures on here have a new scrapbooking facility. After uploading your pics into albums stored there (all free) you can then add them to a wide range of scrapbooking themed pages that they offer. There is an option to add digital titles and embelishments and although a lot of them are free, they do charge for some in the range.

I made a perfectly good, all free scrapbook which I emailed to my friends:



They also offer another free service, called 'mix' which means that you can make up a 'mini film' of your video clips and photos, together with music. I used it last night to send pics & video of us to my husband who is working in China at the moment. He loved it! Highly recommended and free! :money:

Me again (see you can't get rid of me now). I was wondering what to use for joining my pages , I will put in eyelets but then can I use ribbon or are those metal rings that qwiksave used better. If so where can I buy them ?

Hi, I am new to this thread and wondered about making a scrapbook for DH's 50th next month. I have never done anything like this before and had a look at photobucket as recommended by quicksave. I would like to do a 'This is your life' and use old photos. The question is, if I scan old photos can I then put them on Photobucket?

Hi poohbear, yes you can. You scan them into your computer first then upload them to photobucket. Lovely idea by the way.

mumhug, quite a few internet shops sell the book rings they are only about 20p each but you need to find one with free postage (when you find a place let me know, I need some more too! )

Mumhug/ quiksave - I bought a load of book rings ages ago and I probably will never use them all now that I've got a bind it all machine. PM me if you would like me to send you some.
Quiksave - fantastic scrapbook page - so bright and cheery!
