Be careful with what
you use to adhere your pictures with. Even
though it is acid-free, it may not hold your
pictures to the page indefinitely. |
 |
Journal often. It is
as much fun to read about the event, as it is to
see it in pictures. |
 |
Color coordinate
your decorative papers. |
 |
If the page looks
like it took a while, it probably did.
Spend some time on your pages before jumping to
the next. |
 |
Use acid-free,
lignin-free paper. |
 |
Create page interest
by cropping an occasional picture in a shape,
circle or oval. |
 |
Use only archival
safe pens to write on your pages. |
 |
Use a stabilo pencil
to write on the back of your pictures when
necessary. Acid free pens will not hurt your
pictures, but they will smear and will transfer
onto other surfaces. |
 |
Design page layouts
to highlight your pictures. |
 |
Sketch your pages
first before putting them together. This
saves a lot of headaches and keeps you from
having to try to remove something from the page
later because it does not "fit" |
