Home videos are the best because you can always look back on them for a good time and good memory. Record them and have a chapter for every year of there life and then give them the movie you made with highlights of every year for there 18th birthday.

I’d look into creating a photo book! You can submit your photos and they will turn them into a book. There are a number of companies that do this. Try the ones I have listed in the source box to get an idea but definitely do an online search to find more places that will do this for you!

Altered books? You do sort of the same thing but with a book, sometimes old, but related to kids in this case. Oh yeah, a children’s story book! I found some websites to check out.

Comment on How do I start a scrapbooking business? by Susan

Susan — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 15:42:59 +0000

I think the first thing you would need to do is to work out a business plan and try to establish whether or not your town is big enough to support 2 scrapbook businesses.

Consider whether the reason they do not stock what you deem to be enough items is that they are not making enough money to purchase more stock.

If you feel there is sufficient scope you will need to:

a) find suitable premises

b) consider refitting to suit your stock

c) purchase stock

d) consider if you are going to work alone or employ staff – if you are going to employ. you will have to check up on current employment legislation.

e) Consider all relevant health & safety legislation

f) take out appropriate public liability insurance in case some one has an accident on your premises.

g) make sure you have sufficient funding to continue in the business when trade is slow.

h) sort out a marketing plan – if people don’t know you’re there they won’t come.

i) establish an internet presence, either just to publicise the business or consider whether you want to sell over the internet.

j) if you have never run a business before check out tax rules, book keeping methods etc.

This is just a list of things which jump into my mind – there will be lots more ot consider but this should give you some food for thought.

If you decide this is too big a jump at present why not offer to run crops and classes in the existing scarp book shop. You could charge for the classes etc and the shop would benefit as it should result in more sales for them.

Whatever road you decide to take I wish you lots of luck.

Comment on what can I do to regular office brads for scrapbooking? by threecats11

You can also use embossing powder to decorate the brads. Use long craft tweezers to hold the brad, heat it up with a heat gun or over a toaster, etc., dip it into the powder and done.

You can attach just about anything to them with Glue Dots (sold in the scrapbooking section). There is also a crystal lacquer type of product that Close To My Heart makes which can be mixed with ink to color the top any color you like, so you’re not stuck with gold-tone on every page.

I believe acryllic paint will work in the short term but for a longer solution be sure to rough up the top with a little sand paper (or manicure block). The paint I’ve found to work best is Making Memories. It seems to be most permenant.

HTH’s-have fun trying new things!

glue buttons over the heads of the brads or stick the brad through a silk flower where the plastic center has been removed.
