Scrapbook Photo Album

Hello!
I would like to make a photo album/scrapbook to give to my boyfriend for our 1 year. I want to put photos aswell as other bits and pieces i've collected along the way...like postcards and maps.
Is there a special name for what im looking for?
Does anyone know anywhere in Melbourne that I might find one?
Any ideas for sticking the pieces in the album?
Anything else you can help with?

Thanks heaps! :)

Hi, I'm answering this for my husband as he said it is more up my ally! I have been a Creative Memories Consultant for 7 years and live in Melbourne. At the moment I am taking a few months off (deactivated) but still have quite a lot of stock, and can help you learn to but albums together. If you are interested please e-mail my husband's e - address! I would be happy to help and do give a small discount on the regular price.

i have looked everywhere for one of those older types of photoalbums with the clear plastic that pulls up to put the pictures in-under. im NOT looking for the ones that the pictures just slide in becuase I like to use this type as a scrapbook and I keep all kinds of things in my scrap book. any ideas where i can find this type of album or what I should use? I want to be able to pull the picture out of the album after it is in there (in case someone wants a copy or something)

I've seen them quite often in 99 cent stores or big lots. some of the smaller chain stores still seem to carry those type of albums.

you got married in Vegas, right? I did too - almost ten years ago! Anyway, I put in stuff from the city - the hotel we stayed at, a poker chip, cocktail napkin, matchbook, stuff like that in it & lots of stuff from the chapel too. (you might even get stuff off the internet for this) It makes me smile everytime I look at it. Celebrate your Vegas wedding!

I ordered a couple 4x6 and 5x7 photos for christmas presents and I want to create a small little scrapbook/photo book/album type thing to put them in, but I have no idea how to do any of the three. I need it to be something where I can use things around the house because I cannot go out and buy anything...does anyone have any ideas or sites that could help me out? Help is much appreciated, thanks

You can make really pretty albums with stuff you have around the house.

First, take 2 pieces of cardboard just a little bigger than your photo. Set them down one on top of the other and tape up one end to make a spine. Use a nice wide tape.

Glue or tape plain paper to the inside covers, or use old wrapping paper or greeting cards - anything smooth.

On the outside, make paper mache medium out of white glue with water, or use decoupage medium if you have any - and tear up bits of crepe paper, tissue paper, paper napkins, even flower petals - whatever you have that's pretty. Bunch them up on the front and back of the album and slather them with the glue.

After that's dry, cut 2 sheets of plain paper to the same size as your photo or a tiny bit bigger, but still the same size but double the width so that you can fold each sheet to make 2 pages. Open your album and place the open pages on top of it.

With a large needle, run some ribbon through all layers, including the spine of the book. Now you can mount your picture and whatever else you would like, onto the 8 pages. I wish I had some pictures for you but I just thought it up!

Ok I've been debating myself whether to choose the two. So I had thousands of photos stack in the boxes right now. So which is better Scrapbook or photo album? I've wanted to make a scrapbook to add design but I want to hear your opinions. I've sorted them chronological order.

Depending on how much money you want to spend you could scrapbook and make it personal but if you don't want to spend alot of money then you should make a photo album. My auntie would put quotes below the pictures in her photo album and it looked wonderful.
