HOW IT WORKS: (Yes, these instructions come with your transparency too!)
  1. Take an 8" x 8" piece of paper and lay your transparency on top. You can buy colorful sheets in bulk at your local craft store. (Our books come with paper already in them.)
  2. Decide what photos you want to use and if you want to crop them or adhere them to a colored paper so it has a border (such as cardstock).
  3. Decided what you would like to journal in the space provided. It's helpful to use a small piece of cardstock pale in color for your journaling. This will help your words stand out against the colored background paper (and it's easy to re-do if you make a mistake!) You may even want to print out your words.
  4. Place your transparency over the top of your layout to line it all up. Remove the transparency.
  5. Attach all of your photos and journaling notes (or mementos, keepsakes, etc.) to the back sheet of paper. You can get away with 2-sided tape, but it may not last for years to come. I recommend checking your local craft or scrapbook store for adhesives designed for scrapbook use.
  6. Slide the paper with photos attached into the 8" x 8" page-protector and then slide your transparency in on top.
  7. Voila! You have an incredible looking, EASY, fast scrapbook for your adoption journey!
