I need a short simple project to teach others. I have to show them something for a crop that’s tomorrow. I need an idea. Please help.

I would check the gallery at twopeasinabucket.com and see what is posted. There are a ton of talented ladies there and you can find some great inspiration from their ideas. Good Luck!

I like to make postcards by joining two same-size pieces of paper together so that they form basically one card. Obviously the adhesive I use will have to be strong, and I would especially not want the edges to come apart after they have been joined. What adhesive do you recommend for this application?
It should read, "I would like to make postcards…"
Cardstock is fine, but I still want to be able to affix other pages to it (to add pictures, for example). Hope that clears it up.
I didn’t actually mean regular paper, I was thinking of thicker paper like cardstock. But I still want to glue two pieces together.

I make a lot of regular cards in invitations, where I do not want a layer to come apart I have found that Mono Adhesive, Permanent Applicator, Refillable or Mono Aqua Liquid Glue work the best. The first is like a tape the second it a glue, I choose depending on how heavy the paper/stock is I am using. If the paper is thinner the Liquid Glue is not a good choice as it can "wave" the paper. Both have play time for repositioning but become permant in 24 – 72 hours.

This maybe is a odd question but I’m sitting here doing some journaling for pages I’ve completed and I find that I journal in the first person and then at the end of the paragraph I’m journeling in the second person? Do you journal like your talking to strangers reading – or for instance if your doing your childs album do you journal like you are talking to them. I’m working on our family album so some are family pictures, some are just of my daughter. Or does it even matter at all??

Personally I don’t think it matters. Perhaps on one layout (page) you should try to be consistant, but over a whole album – I don’t worry.

My journalling varies between talking about ‘we did this…we did that ….’ to ‘You are a beautiful …..’ to addressing the reader. I think I just go with what ever feels right for that particular layout(page).

Remember there are no ‘rules’ in scrapbooking!!

LOL

Is there such a thing?!!

But seriously, do you feel like you are taking to many pictures?

I am so thankful for my digital camera so I don’t have to think about how many I take!

The other day I took a picture of my 10 year old reading! I can’t wait to scrap it and journal what a great reader she is!

Way too many. But what surprised me was right before my son graduated I realized that from about 12 on I only had 4 or 5 pics of him a year. But I have tons of albums & large plastic boxes of pics still waiting from before then. He jokes I lost interest once he quit being so cutesy. lol!

Anyone interested in having a Scrapbook Class in the privacy of your own home? I’ve personally designed these – a girl and boy pack this month called ‘Just Gorgeous’. Let me know if you are interested!
