Should I make my own album

[suffolkscrapper]

I have just started in a new CJ and was thinking of making my own album. I dont know what size it is going to be yet but could someone give me a list of supplies they think I will need as a sort of shopping list lol. I am a newbie and this will be my first album so if you can be fairly precise id appreciate it lol thanks so much

If I make my own CJs I just use the following.

2 pieces of mountboard for the back and front covers, you could also use the cardboard from the back of notebooks..
Thin card to make the pages.
Book rings to hold it together.

I then use patterned paper, embellishments, ribbons, eyelets, fibres etc to decorate it to my liking.

Here is one that I made: http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/photopo...00&ppuser=7891

yeah id go with mountboard, bookrings ( staples is the best place i have found them, 16 for abotu £2.) and card or paper for the insides. you might also want fibres if oyu are having tags at the back to sign in with. what about the rest fo your cj, can they help with ideas?
