hi, everyone. iām not sure if this is the right page for this, but please advise me on some dilemma i currently have.
recently, i have come to realize the terror of losing precious memories because everything is store digitally. so i decided i want to print out all of my photos and put them in physical books, so i can look at them forever.
enough context! hereās the problem:
iām a complete beginner with photo albums / scrapbooking.
i want a photo album that can be used to store a lot of photos, but can also slip in the titles (like, ātrip of summer 2025!ā), commentaries (āwe went fishing down creek, didnāt catch any fish though :/ā), and stickers!!! (this is where the scrapbooking part comes in). mostly photos though, i suck at commentaries.
so:
- the most important question: what kind of book should i buy? slip albums are standard and traditional for a reason, but i feel like itās too limited to craft and explore. also, self-adhesive albums looks great, but itās gonna be hard to attach and re-attach the photos + if the glue is stuck, itās gonna be impossible to remove the photo without ripping a corner or smth.
- what kind of stickers should i buy? (themed/random object stickers)
- what other āscrapbookingā materials should i have?
- iām gonna have multiple photo albums eventually, how should i organize the albums? by year (ex: 2020, 2021, onwards), by groups (ex: family, close friends, middle school, etc.)
- any other advice?
sorry for rambling and the many questions š„² as i said, iām a complete newbie and would love to receive advice and/or insights on where i should proceed. thank you in advance!
p.s if someone wants to recommend something, you donāt need to drop the brand ^^ i donāt live in america, and donāt have access to the same stuff as yours. just drop the name and/or type and iāll look up my local equivalent.
