How do I start scrapbooking?
I’m making a scrapbook for my boyfriend for our 1 year anniversary and I’m not sure what to do. I have the book, I have the pictures, I have some decorative paper but that’s it. Can somebody give me ideas, tips or websites that may help me? Thanks!

have fun and good luck.
Whenever you are with him grab something as a souvener. Usually things from your dates ( A napkin with the restaurants logo, they have free alcohol papers of their beverages they serve, a tally of a mini putt game, a leaf from a walk you took together. But don’t tell him you are taking these things. its so much more special when he doesn’t know until he see’s it all together. Write down notes on things he’s said to you. Things you’ve done together, pictures. Go to the dollar store and get all sorts of things (Hearts, buttons, stickers, sayings, etc) Its so simple but so special when it all comes together. I did the same thing. I had the stickers and caps off of beers and everything, I saved the newspaper from when we got together with the date on it, the paper from our one year. It has to do with things you’ve done. Things that only mean something to the two of you.
Hope helped =)
P.S. Get creative, You can’t ruin a page, if you mess up you have the chance to make it look even better.
Well, you could try making a digital scrapbook page at CropMom at http://www.cropmom.com. It’s free to use, and easy. Plus you can get started by using the templates, or pre-made layouts, that are available. One of the nicest things about online scrapbooking at CropMom is that there’s no mess and it’s much less expensive than paper scrapbooking.
