I would like to start scrapbooking and breezy has offered to help me. but i was just trying to get some ideas. I want to do one for my DS who is 3 and he is into Thomas the Tank trains and I figured that since he is into that I can do one. But I havent bought any supplies yet and I dont really know what all I need to make one. What would be some things I could do to make one.

Well, I think first its a good idea to figure out if you want a growing scrapbook, that can be added to as he gets older or if you want to make a scrapbook about a specific subject or event.
Then you can work on a theme for your pages (which will save you lots of time and cash at the craft store). In your case you pretty much already have a theme, Thomas the Tank.
You'll need some paper, an album, adhesives, pictures of course, journaling pens. You can also have embellishments (little decorations for your page, like stickers, etc).
Here's a good article for starting out, it has a lot of info and lots of optional stuff, but it's a good read:

thank you. breezy just PM'd me with a great thomas the tank scrapbook site page.

We will have to go around and get some stuff

cool. oh by the way it wont let me send you anymore PM's your box is full again LOL

OMG lol I will go delete some again :hehe

well i was just trying to follow you around to see where you were at LOL

So are you just gonna do it about that specific theme or are you going to make one of his whole life?

I am gonna do both. but i havent bought any supplies yet. Breezy wants me to come over and see what all she has before i go buy anything. But I can order the Thomas the Tank scrapbook though and its only 29.99 plus tax and shipping. and they have a bunch of sticker sheets to im gonna order too. plus they have some letters/numbers. and then i thought i would take some pics of his trains he has here at the house and with him playing with them. but i guess i can take them on our digi camera and my hubby can download them and print them out too.


thats the first one i thought i would do. and then when i finish that one i will start one about his life too. i dont know how many baby pictures i can find. but i need to dig some up so that scrapbook might not start for awhile. its gonna be hard for me to find a time to work on it between working full time and then going to the gym 3 nites a week and one day on the weekend. so maybe the only true day i would have to work on it is on sunday when robbie is taking a nap LOL.
