Where can I find alphabet and number stencils?February 29th, 2008Question: Hi Robin, I’m looking for an alphabet stencil “book” and a “number” stencil book - I believe each are put together at top with a plastic spiral type thing. I use to have these two and did away with them and have regretted it ever since. I’ve only seen them in one other scrapbook store and it’s gone out of business. At the time, the books sold for like $9.95/99 each, the letters or numbers had like a 1/4″ or less strip between the sections of the letter - you placed it over your picture, traced and cut out to fit under the opening. Really cute for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. They were large numbers and upper case alphabet. If you have any info as to where I might find such, I’d certainly appreciate it. Thanks so much and have a “GREAT” day! Answer: I am not familiar with the brand that sells the stencil you are looking for in “book” form. We have a ton of alphabet stencils and number stencils. Let me know if you come across that one somewhere else — I searched all of the craft and scrapbooking stores I know. Sorry I couln’t be of more help.

How to scrapbook multiple photos on one page?February 15th, 2008Question: Hello… I have been making my mom a scrapbook for 7 years now with her 12 grandchildern and her own kids. My daughter takes hundereds of pictures of them all, but I don’t have the time to make a single page for all of them every year. I just have been running out of ideas what to do with all the pictures on a single page…? Could you give me any ideas?? Thanks a bunch.
Answer: I love using lots of photos on my pages! Here are some of my ideas, along with ideas from others, on how to scrapbook multiple photos on one page:
1.) Use flip pockets for many photos, like this one. These flip pockets adhere to your page protector from the outside, so that you can actually flip through the photos as you look through an album. You could even adhere more than one to a page to show even more photos.
2.) Shrink your photos! You don’t have to use the standard 4×6 photos. Sometimes I like to take my photos and print them smaller. You could put 2 or 3 photos on a 4×6 size and print them like this :
 (I just left white space on the side of this 4×6 file and cut if off after it was printed.)
 (This is how I did my Christmas card picture this year to save $$ on printing costs - each person got a 4×3 photo, instead of a 4×6)
More info on acid-free labeling of photos . . .February 15th, 2008Question: In your article, Top Ten Ways to Preserve and Protect Your Photos, you wrote: When labeling photos [snip…] And if you are like me (overly organized and neat), you can print onto acid-free labels and adhere them to the photo. I’m have been scanning and cataloging (via IMatch) all our old photos. I would like to print out small labels to place on the back of the original photos, identifying the filename. Are you still content with using acid-free labels, or do you have concerns that the adhesive or label affects the photo? Can you tell me what brand you’re using? Are they acid-free, or acidfree AND chlorine-free AND lignin-free???? But if you do want to use labels (especially for those photos that have already been printed), I use the acid-free, archival safe labels from Avery (I can’t seem to find out if they are chlorine free, but if they state they are archival safe, I feel safe using them.).

Where can I buy plain chipboard coasters or cardboard coasters?February 12th, 2008Question: I am looking for plain cardboard coasters to decorate-where do I buy them?
Answer: We have “Really Big Square Tags” that go from 3″ square to 5″ square. My favorites are from Bazzill. These are all plain chipboard tags/coasters that you decorate yourself. I have also found a few places that you can order some: 1.) StarLitStudio (on eBay) - 15 white medium weight ($1.39), 20 white light weight ($1.49) 2.) American Coaster Company (you have to get a quote from them, but it will range for around $25-$35 for 1,000 heavy/medium weight coasters - this includes the shipping). This is probably the most cost effective way to go - maybe get some friends to split the cost with you. Here’s who you contact to get a quote on sending you the plain ones: Tracy K. ext:201 |
