I'm another fan of the above mentioned company. Just this past Saturday I attended their all day National Scrapbook Day event and made great headway on my 2004 family album. Kelley, I think you've gotten good advice here. IMO, "keeping it simple" is the key to getting the albums complete rather than spending a lot of time worrying about how to make them elaborate. My sense is that your son is ultimately going to cherish them because of the love that went into putting them together and won't really care or notice the technique you used to do so. I'm not sure "menfolk" concern themselves with that sort of stuff anyway. At least my dh doesn't. He responds the same way ("that's nice")
whether it's a simple page, or one that took me three hours to put together.
Anyway, welcome to scrapbooking. It's a lot of fun and very addictive.
Peace and blessings,
Another Kelli
