Hi there,

The only "rule" with scrapping is that there are NO rules! Your scrapbooks are totally personal to you - and that means whatever you want to do is right!

There are sites where you can download backing papers for free - this is a good one: http://www.scrapbookscrapbook.com/ - for others just search free scrapbook.

Then how you make up your album is totally up to you! You could use an A4 binder and some poly pockets and just slide your pages in. They are really cheap.

Or you could make your pages and bind them with a card cover (or even fabric covered card!) by hole punching it all and tying it together with ribbon or raffia etc.

Scrapping is like all paper based hobbies - they can be cheap as chips - but companies got in on the act and made a whole heap of expensive stuff that they tell us we can't do without... But we can!!

Happy scrapping!
