where to start?
Jun 3 2009, 12:44 PM EDT | Post edited: Jun 3 2009, 12:44 PM EDT
Please help me! I am overwhelmed. My firstborn son is graduating from High School in 3 weeks and I decided I would make him a lifetime scrapbook as a gift. I have the photos organised, book bought and lots of supplies but I don't know how/where to start. I found this site while googling for ideas. I want to write small entries for the pages but do I write the text then organise the photos around it or do I stick the photos first and put text where/if there is room? Thanks :) Do you find this valuable?

HI TBAMom:
First, congratulations to you and your son!

I usually start by arranging photos on pages first, but I do so knowing that I'll need to leave some room for text and embellishments.
Let me ask HP's resident Scrapbooking expert MaryAnn to get in touch with you -- she's awesome and one of the most creative people I know and is an excellent instructor, too!
