Scrapbook Mini Album: Custom Word Book, Part Two

[lonelyEuphoria]

Hi, I've just started getting into scrapbooking. Which brand/type of adhesive would you recommend?

[desdichaedo]

@lonelyEuphoria I use a lot of different glues/adhesives ~ different glues/adhesive work better for different tasks. My favorite tape runner is my Scotch ATG 700 by 3M & I use the Scotch 908 Gold by 3M refills in the 0.5" width and the 60 yard length. For liquid glues I like the Scotch Quickdry and Beacon 3-in-1. The Beacon gives you a little more positioning time {and is cheaper than the Scotch}, but they both dry quickly and dry clear. I also use hot glue, glue dots and the Scotch foam tape.

Thanks for sharing and all the surgeries - I just missed what you used for the a.

[desdichaedo]

@harleycropperchopper I think I made the "A" in two different ways. For one, I cut the top part off a "d" and for the other, I cut down a "l" and glued it next to a "c" since both of those looked good with this font. Not all fonts work the same way, but this one gave me a lot of options.

I showed my hubby your video so he could get some ideas to help me get started on a series of videos I want to make soon... and he said, "Wow!" So that comment comes from a non-scrapbooker, but a great scrubby supporter! Wow from me too! Hugs- Joyce

[desdichaedo]

Thanks, Joyce! Isn't it nice to have support with your hobby and videos from your husband? :D I'm sure he will be a big help to you!

Hope you charge your camera! We don't want to miss anything, haha :D

Thank you so much ~ I'm so glad you've liked all of the videos! :D I don't think I missed any of this album coming together, so we're all good for this series!

[CutnSnip]

I like the idea of putting all the photos on the cardstoct to make placement easier.

[desdichaedo]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you were able to get some ideas from the videos!

Letter surgery, how smart!  If only you had showed me this a year ago. LOL Thanks for sharing

[desdichaedo]

There will be more letter surgery coming up as I did quite a bit of it in this album series! :D Now you'll be able to save the letters you do have!

[momma2ski]

~Jill

[desdichaedo]

Thanks, Jill! There will be more letter surgery coming up with even more tips! I'm so glad you enjoyed the videos & thanks for watching!

[mammatiffy]

love how you take the letters and put them on a ruler!!! My words are always crooked!!! and what size are your photos?? did you get then printed out that size or trim them down?

[desdichaedo]

Putting the letters on a ruler is my favorite technique for titles It makes them straight and I can shift them around on the layout and put them exactly where I want them! The photos in this album are 3"x4" and I printed them out in that size on my photo printer {Epson R1900} since that is a good size for a mini album. Thanks for watching & I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[butterflyamanda]

[desdichaedo]
