![]() Just starting out? You need to know that: In order to prevent photos from fading and yellowing, everything in an album/scrapbook must be acid-free, lignin-free, and PVC-free.
A few of the essentials are:    - Acid-free double sided tape.    - Acid-free cardstock and patterned papers, as backgrounds or for matting your photos.    - Acid-free stickers, die-cuts, accents, etc., to embellish the pages.    - Archival pens: permanent ink, fade-proof, non-bleeding, water-proof.
![]() As your style evolves and your knowledge expands, you will want to experiment with more and more products and techniques. Our large selection of products for the intermediate and advanced scrapbooker will fill that need.    - Adhesives: we carry a wide variety of glues and adhesives for different projects; two-way glues, glue sticks, hand-made photo corners, pop-up dots (for the 3D effect), glue pens (for thin lines of glitter, fibers, and other tiny glue needs), invisible vellum tape, double-sided tape (the workhorse of the adhesives) in disposable or environmentally friendly refillable dispensers, as well as their refills, and temporary glues.    - Cardstock: currently we carry over 350 different colours, textured, reversible, and embossed, and cardstock packs.

You will need to know how many pages are required for your project, because not all albums are expandable. You also must know how large your pages should be. 12x15, 12x12, 10x10, 8.5x11, 8x8, or smaller. Another important thing to know is the theme of your album: travel, wedding, baby, heritage, friendship, school, sports, holidays, hobbies, family events, or a mix of all of the above. Albums come in cloth or leather covers, with different binding systems, including spiral, and in a great variety of colours. Don't hesitate to come in and discuss your album needs with us. Our staff will help you pick the scrapbook that's right for you.    - Stickers: nothing tops stickers for quick embellishment of your pages or to create a quick greeting card.
