Dude, mount your pictures!

Dude! Just because you're not using ribbons and bows doesn't mean you just glue your pix on the paper like you did in kindergarten. Mount them on another piece of paper first.



Mounting the pix in this page helps them stand out. Plus, since the pix are of all different sizes and of a variety of things the mounting provides some unity to all the shots.

Clean lines. Strong colors. Pix of hiking the kids up steep cliffs. And a lizard that would scare any cat.

Dude! You're on your way!

Dude, pick a manly topic!

First rule of men's scrapbooking: Pick a manly topic.

Try things like camping, car shows, carpentry, skydiving, hiking, hunting, remodeling projects, trips to sports stadiums, or fishing trips.

In other words, don't dedicate your scrapbook to your cat.

Pick something you

a. like to do
b. can take pictures of or already have a stack of pictures of
c. don't need to hide from your friends

For me, I chose my main thing to scrapbook was my trips National Parks. Use your scrapbook to keep the memories alive without using antlers as the main source of interior decorating.
