I am only familiar with 8-1/2 x 11 documents in Word. I have no scrapbooking experience at all. What I would like to do for an important birthday of a teen is to insert some 3 x 5 cards in album sleeves where I will be inserting old pictures. The cards would explain some family history, etc. I don't want it to look cheesy and I have seen scrapbook "kits" which I know I would mess up. Just knowing how to make up the 3 x 5 cards in "Word" would help. I am going through the old photos now and birthday invitations, etc., any suggestions? I have already purchased the album with a nice cloth cover and 3 picture slots per page. Is there a way in "Word" to make the card-sized text. Have tried handwriting but husband states it's hard to read my writing. This hopefully will be an "heirloom" of some sorts (or perhaps they'll laugh at it and toss it). It's for a 17 YO male. TIA

Oh, I scrapbook! :) sm
I must have missed your post.
OP, I don't know anything about the Cricut either; I second the 2peas suggestion, that's a great resource. Lots of ideas and interaction over there.
When you say scrapbook programs, you mean like digital scrapbooking? 2peas actually has a whole digital section that's pretty informative. They recommend Photoshop, which apparently you can download a version of for a 30-day trial for free before buying. It's pretty interesting. I'm more interested in digital assisted scrapbooking myself, maybe just doing a few elements here and there on the computer and them combining them the old-fashioned way. I just like cutting paper. ;)
Now, if you mean photo organization software, I use the Creative Memories Memory Manager software and it's wonderful for organizing and light photo editing. You can sort pictures into virtual boxes and albums so you can go back later and retrieve to print and stuff. Plus you can back up onto CDs, disks, or a portable hard drive for safekeeping.
I also scrapbook sm
I started this year scrapbooking. I am putting togethr a book for my daughter who just graduated from college. It has taken me over 6 months but I am getting there. My sister who has done it for 4 years has all the tools that comes out. I heard talk about the ciruit tool but I have no experiene with it. Scrapbooking can be very expensive I see. I have bought a lot of stuff off of ebay. You just have to be careful. Sometimes the shippinng is more than the product. Glad there are some MTs that scrapbook.
I am a scrapbook fanatic

Scrapbook party
I did a scrapbook party for 4th grade. The girls had to bring two pictures of themselves. They would decorate two 5x7 pages, one they got to keep and the other with a special happy birthday message for my daughter to keep in a scrapbook. She still loves having that and she is in 10th grade.
Anyone scrapbook and have the Cricut machine? sm
I am considering purchasing one and would like some opinions.
Is giving grandparents a scrapbook

project runway
I can't believe Jeffrey won! I was hoping for Michael too.
Anyone else hooked on Project Runway?
Finale is tonight! Who do you think will win? I think it will be and want it to be Michael.
Believe it not, I liked Blair Witch Project...sm
can you imagine getting lost like that in the woods? Freaks me out every time I watch it or go anywhere near woods now. Pet Semetary (correct spelling) is also a good one, along with a few mentioned here. I love When a Stranger Calls, Halloween, of course, and the few you mentioned. They've had so many scary moves lately on Lifetime TV, been loving it!
Happy Halloween!
Help! Need an idea for a homeschool project sm
I am hosting a co-op on Monday and I have no idea what to do! This is only my second time. The first time I did a scrapbooking project.
Some parents do volcanoes, etc., if they are good at science. They are SO easy to please. The ages are K-5th grade, so there is definitely a big age gap. I just don't know what I should do! One time they did a beanbag toss as a game, etc. Like I said, it's very easy. It should last about 30 minutes.
Thanks for any ideas!! I'm usually creative, but my mind is just drawing a blank right now!
home school project.
I did this with my Cub Scouts and it went like gangbusters. LOL. First of all, get a big plastic drop cloth, you will need it for clean up. Then get a bulk sized box of Rice Krispy treats or something similar and decorations like sprinkles, colored sugar, nonpareils, etc. and some vanilla or chocolate frosting either in tubes or tubs or maybe some colored frosting tubes, and let them decorate to their little hearts content. You have just killed two birds with one stone. LOL. A project and a snack. My scouts thought it was the most fun they had ever had.
"One project done thread"
What projects do you need to get done?
I have quite a bit of scrapbooking and organizing photos to get on.
I've gotten all my coupons in my organizer. I just need to go back through them and organize the dates a bit better.
I have taken tons of things to the Salvation Army this year....Cleaned out closets, drawers and so on. I need to clean out and reorganize my kitchen cabinets.
It wouldn't hurt me to organize my recipes a bit better too!
Looking for good volunteer project for 12 y/o daughter
Does anyone have any ideas for a volunteer project for a 12 y/o girl? or maybe even a group of girls. Most places in our community require you to be 14 for "official" volunteering, but maybe we could just do something on our own. It doesn't have to be Thanksgiving/Christmas related, but that would be okay too.
Thanks for the advice.
Helped with son's Eagle project this weekend.
He only has some paperwork and a board of review to get done, and then he'll be an Eagle scout.
Did you watch Project Runway when it was on Bravo?
is that hair cutting one on it too? I LOVE project runway... dont know when or where it will be back...
Need craft/project ideas for older children (7-10) (sm)
My children have about 4 hours each morning from the time that they get up until I finish my work. Today I am having them both make cardboard "electric guitars" with paint and glitter, etc. When they were younger, I had endless craft ideas, but now those are not so "cool" anymore. I would love any suggestions - thanks!
LOST, also Project Runway, Grey's Anatomy, various HGTV home buying/selling shows
