How do I transfer vellum saying stacks to my scrapbooking paper?
November 29th, 2009 | 
Author: I recently bought vellum ‘saying’ stacks at Michaels. I wanted to use them for scrapbooking but I don’t know how too transfer them on my scrapbooking paper. Should I rub them on? I already tried rubbing them on with a ruler, this did not work out… I asked my friends who also do scrapbooking but they didn’t know either. So please help me out! Greetz, Xloortje!
They’re not rub-ons, they’re made for cutting and pasting on. You can attach them with a glue suitable for vellum, something that dries very clear and thin. Perhaps something recommended for vellum, such as vellum dots, or a good glue stick, or running it through a Xyron (which will make it into a sticker, with the adhesive even and invisible). You could also use brads or decorative photo corners, or tie it down with ribbons or fibres. Another option is to attach the vellum saying behind another opaque paper cut into a frame, with an opening, then use your adhesive of choice on the opaque frame. Have fun!

When you are done scrapbooking an event, what do you do with your extra pictures?
I am just starting to scrapbook my wedding. I have about 200+ candid pictures and over 700 professional pictures. We have a professional album with about 60 or so pictures in it and a regular photo album for the candids. I am wondering what I should do with my extra pictures after I am done scrapbooking. I can’t put all of the pictures into the scrapbook and its seems weird to have just the extras in an regular album. This is a silly problem, but I am wondering, how does everyone else deal with this?
For wedding pictures, I would put them in the attic in a good storage container. Here is a suggestion that my wife has done with multiple scrap books (not necessarily weddings). Scan all of the pictures, and put all of the images on a CD, then get one of the paper envelopes for CD’s and stick it in your photo album. That way whenever you get an urge to look at the photos (even the ones in the album), you can insert it into your computer or DVD player and give them a look. It doesn’t take much room that way, but you preserve the images so that you don’t have to go stumbling around in the attic to find them.

Scrapbooking: What’s the best organization items or scrapbooking tools you’ve purchased?
I love scrapbooking. I’d like to know the best ways to organize everything and your favorite tools. Especially if someone has purchased, or designed a desk or area to scrapbook at. Thanks!
my fav’s: 1. grage sale kitchen table 40×40 perfect size for working on plus all the “crap” I end up dragging out. 2. IKEA’s rod and hanging baskests and hooks. 3. IKEA’s kitchen knife magnet strips. stong enough to hold dies, and tins without slipping off. 4. The best of all, hubby picked up from a school that was remodeling, an old in-box for teachers mail. You know the ones in the office with all the slots for teachers mail. 40 slots, each one holds 1 IRIS plastic box. Best way to store paper, flowers, alphabets, ink etc… I painted it and had a piece of glass cut for the top to protcet it. I keep pic’s under the glass and all my Jim Holt tins ontop. Looks great and very functional. EDIT: also love the bar height table hubby made for me. Just 20 inches deep, but 5 feet long. Has a tile top. Great for laying out stuff when I come home from shopping, or for deciding on a layout before I sit and do it. Also good for use as a die cut center. able to stand straight up, no more aching back from making a zillion letters for something.
