I have no tips for you since I'm a newbie at it myself . Do a search here for scrapbooks and you will find some wondeful pics and can get some ideas from that.

My sister just gave me some scrapbook stuff for my birthday! I have only made two pages so far and need to get started on another one. Part of the fun for me is shopping around for all the neat tools and papers you can buy...lol. Anna has also helped me out alot and given me so many wonderful things and ideas.

Have fun!
