You know that every occasion is a right occasion to take a picture right? You have holidays, reunions, sporting events etc. But what should you do with your pictures?

Once you have your pictures you have a few options. You can go the easy way (by internet) or do it yourself (the hard way). Doing it yourself may be harder because you start with nothing at the beginning. But for many, while its more work, it is also more personal.

What do you use while doing your album? Anything you want!!! Paper, pictures, leaves; whatever you feel like it there are absolutely no rules since its your album and your treasure. If you want your picture to look go for ages here are a few tips:

1. If you are thinking about putting your original pictures in your album, then you want to look for paper that says it is acid free. Paper without that designation will turn yellow and brittle and in a few years not be attractive any longer. All your hard work will be down the tubes as this yellowing is a direct cause of the acid.

2. You do not want to waste time making borders? Just use a color printer. But be cautious as there are certain types of ink that can discolor your pictures in the long run.

3. You have your memories laid out like you want, with the colors you want. You know that there are absolutely no rules when you scrap book. You have chosen materials you want but you know that they may pose a risk to your memories. But you love the look. Now dont despair. With a few spritz of Archival Spray you can put it your souvenirs and create a barrier against the dreaded acid.

You can find all those materials crafts stores around the world or on line. All you need to remember is that you can do it all yourself. You can do your own journaling with special none acid paper and lingin free pens and markers.
