Does the picture need to be vertical or horizontal?

Scrapbook info: Well, what I wanted to do was to make a scrapbook for our mom for her birthday. It's little more personalized than a photo album, but that requires some time, and I am not sure if everyone will have time to do it. Anyway, if you still want to do it, here is the info. You can create as many pages as you'd like. One is a minimum, and I think if you have little time on your hands, you could try for 2-5 pages. Remember, in scrapbooking, you can put as little as one photo on a page. You can always look at some scrapbooking ideas online. When mom was here, she really enjoyed looking through my scrapbook.

The kind of scrapbook that I have for this project is the kind with protective sleeves, so all you have to do is make your pages on those pretty scrapbook papers. Or even use plain construction paper, just make sure of the size. It should be 12 x 12. You can buy your supplies at Michaels, Wal-Mart, Dollar Tree or specialty stores, or many others. Whatever pages don't get filled, I am going to put extra background sheets, so that mom can keep creating and adding pages on her own, as she receives pictures from us in the future.

I will post some examples from my personal scrapbook. I am not a pro, but I like it because it's personal. So, take advantage of the longer evenings and get creative! You can get your kids involved as well. If you have their picture with mom, you can have them make a page that says: "Grandma and me" or something like that.
