RE: Kellysantina: Hey everyone I want to make a scrapbook including the notes and letters I have from when my husband and I were dating. I need a few tips, though. I want to preserve these notes, so I am afraid to glue them down to the page. What do you think is the best idea for keeping them secure (& pretty!)? Also I have done some searches to get some basic page ideas but can't find much. If you know of ...

I use the original cards, letters & pics on my pages. I scrapbook my originals pics & other stuff It won't get hurt. as long as you safe adhesives & papers to mount them on. My scrapbooks are the storage place for my pics & memoroabilia & cards. I scrap all originals of everything ( unless I need a different size pic or it is damaged)

RE: Cloverlady: The pocket pages already suggested are a great idea, You could also make an envelope and fold the letters and put them in the envelope. There are all sorts of cute and clever envelope shapes you could use. The other option would be to photo copy them and glue the photocopies.

When scanning or photo copying them, make sure you use acid free paper.

RE: Anda11: one thing I have done is make pretty pockets on your page to hold them. Make them out of some beautiful card stock & cover with heart paper..decorate with heart die cuts or anything you love. Some people here have made pockets to hold birthday cards & other cards. I have seen pockets made to hold valentines too look up pocket pages in the gallery. I have made them myself for xmas c...

Some I sewed the pocket to the page. many I just adhered with tape runner. You could also use decorative brads to hold the pocket. I know they have heart shaped brads causer I do have some

Hey everyone
I want to make a scrapbook including the notes and letters I have from when my husband and I were dating. I need a few tips, though. I want to preserve these notes, so I am afraid to glue them down to the page. What do you think is the best idea for keeping them secure (& pretty!)?

Also I have done some searches to get some basic page ideas but can't find much. If you know of any galleries here I can look through with that theme, I'd be very thankful!
