Scrapbook Title?

I am making a scrapbook for my boyfriend and I’m not sure what to call it. He loves trains so I am putting all of the pictures we took from a local train derailment and also all of the pictures from the train ride we went on. There will be nothing else in the scrapbook as I have quite a few pictures from each occasion. I’m stuck on what the title should be though. Any Suggestions?

soul train

any word with the word EXPRESS like his nameExpress
or both of your names Express

page title could be, Looking for a place to happen… then you show the accident

Picture of landscape from inside the train you rode together is Room with a veiw

SCRAPBOOKiNG?

ANY ADViCE/HELP WiLL B APPRECiATED =D

Oh…you got a lot to get. Be careful…scrapbooking is adictive! LOL Have fun! Here are the basics though…
Make sure everything you buy is acid free. If you shop in the scrapbook sections, you won’t have a problem.

A paper cutter is a good purchase to make straight cuts on your pictures and paper.

Nice sharp scissors

There are large packs of colored paper in 12×12. You can even get these at most Wal-Marts or Targets. Michaels is a bit pricy!

Tape Runner (any kind). You’ll need something to stick your pictures and paper. :)

Nice colored pens for journaling and making titles.

There’s SO much to learn. If you have scrapbook stores in your town, most offer classes to get started. They are a blast.

How can I make a scrapbook without actually buying a scrapbook?

My friend is moving next week and I want to make her a scrapbook of all the things we’ve done together. I went shopping yesterday and spent over $100, so my mom’s not giving me any more money. I have craft glue, tape, glitter, beads, construction paper, pictures, and everything else, but I don’t have a scrapbook. I’ve searched online on how to make the scrapbook, but I haven’t gotten any good answers. HELP!

This site tells you how to make one from cardboard:

And, this site tells you how to decorate a 3 ring binder to use for a scrapbook:

How easy are the Disney cricut cartriges to use?

I have a cricut machine. I have been looking at the Disney Friends cartridge. I know that you have to layer the pieces to get the look that you see on the box, etc. How easy is it to do this? Is it worth the investment? Thanks!

It isn’t that it is hard, but very time consuming. You would have to cut it out of at least 4 or 5 different colors and then piece it together. I suggest using tweezers. Did you know they came out with a Winnie the Pooh and two Disney princess cartridges.
