Dude! Make a Resolution!

Dude! As guys we often think that more is always better. Dude! That's not always so!



I mean, on the page above the more is better policy we have went terribly wrong. There are way too many stickers. More is not always better!

Make a new years resolution to keep that more is better idea thing for things like steak, fries, and pie.

Dude! Happy New Year!

Dude! Look Around!

Dude! When you're out mountain climbing or sailing or on other adventures you know the view is way bigger than the viewfinder on your camera. Dude! You can fix that problem!

Just take a series of pix while standing in one location, tape them together, then trim the up and glue them down. All of a sudden you've got a panoramic shot that tells more about the view.



Yes, you can make pan shots from these via your computer. But I've found that I can't get the full size that I want to include in my scrapbook to print out sufficiently well.

Besides, you're a guy so that means you're not afraid of a do-it-yourself project and can take some pride in your job well done.

Dude! That's Awesome!

Dude! They Were Wrong!

Dude! If you're reading this then you know that the whole 12/12/12 thing was wrong. It also means you'd better get working on that scrapbook!

See, we only knew about the Mayan culture because of what was left to withstand the test of time. Now, don't expect your scrapbook to have as much influence as the Mayans, but, dude!, you're getting to decide what things to remember the most.

Choose what you want your children and grandchildren to remember about you and their times with you then make the scrapbook page. Be a man and take charge of those memories!

Of course, if the Mayan calendar was right, then never mind, Dude!

Dude! Keep Your Edge!

Dude! Remember when you were a kid and all the pix you took on your instamatic came back with white all around the edges? Dude! Do it again!

If you mount your pix on white and make a clean edge around them it will give them that classic look and provide a unity among the prints, especially if they are all different sizes.



The classic white trim will make you look like a pro no matter what color background you choose. And when you're pages look professional, the girls get jealous.

Dude! Keep that edge!
