Does it matter what type of pens/markers I use when I am scrapbooking?

Just make sure that you get Archival quality that don’t bleed or run. You don’t want them to ruin your pictures.
I love love Creative Memories http://www.CreativeMemories.com for most of my supplies. They have good quality and their prices on some things aare pretty competetive. They also have different packs, and shortcuts that found very helpful as a beginner. All of their snap pack come with Idea books, that I have saved and used those layouts on other pages.
Also I would not recommend the Xyon Sticker Maker for scrapbooking.. I have used it and now I am seeing a film on my page protectors around where I have used it. I am worried that it may ruin my pictures. It is nice for other craft projects though.
Yes, everything in a scrapbook should be archival or in other words, it will stay in near perfect condition for decades. Ask around at the craft store in the scrapbook section. I am sorry I don’t know the exact pens/markers to use, but I do know that you can’t use just any kind of pen/marker
Yes, you do need to use archival quality pens. They will say Acid free, non-bleeding, fade proof. This way they won’t ruin your photos, or your sheet protectors. ZIG has some great pens. They have some labelled “Memory System”. Most pens that are good for scrapbooking will say right on them that they are great for memory books, and archival quality. They are really great as they dry almost instantly so there’s no smudging, either. Good luck!
