Scrappy answers:

Open the back cover. There should be a piece that covers the screws, usually held in place by magnets. Simply unscrew, add more posts (those screw like things) if needed, add the page protectors, and put it all back together.
Most expandable scrapbooks can extend to 2" thick, but I would recommend not going that deep.

(It will make sense if you're reading the directions while trying them out on your scrapbook.)

If all else fails, go to a local crafts store like Michael's.

Scrappy answers:

When you open the album cover look at the area where the spine is connected. Is there a flap there that you can lift up? If it is the type I'm thinking of then there would be two screws under that flap.

As you do the next step make sure that you pay attention to the order of the different pieces so you can put it back together correctly.

To expand the album you will need to open it from the back, lift the flap, using a straight slot screw driver unscrew it. Now you can add the extension posts that either came with the album or that came with the extra pages you bought.

After you have added the extension screws add the extra pages. As you finish make sure that you are putting everything back in the order that they need to be when you are done. Next screw the original screw head piece back in place. You're done.

If the album you purchased was a strap type It takes careful attention. You may be able to find instructions online somewhere on how to do it.

I hope this was helpful.

First, gather all pictures and keepsakes you want to include in your book, and put them in a chronological order (from beginning to end), or some type of order. Sort through them, making sure pictures and keepsakes complement each other. You don't have to use all of your pictures.

There are many sizes of scrapbooks to use. There are12x12, 12x15, 81/2x11, 8x8, and 6x6 books. Most of the paper for scrapbooking is "acid" free (or ligin free), which basically means that the paper you are putting your pictures on won't turn yellow over time. Most scrapbooking paper comes in the 12x12 size. They can be cut to any size you want.

Basically, you want to enhance your pictures and keepsakes. Find a "theme" for your trip (i.e., golf, beach, skiing, etc.) There are many papers you can order over the net, and most stores that carry scrapbooking items will have a "mini-album" kit which will include paper, stickers, cutouts, and a few ideas. Stickers, stamps, glitter, photo corners, yarn, and many other items can be used to decorate the pages.

A border goes around the page or a specific picture. Photo corners go on the corners of pictures to help hold them down (think of the 1940s era, with the black tabs holding pictures down).

There is no perfect way to do a scrapbook. This is yours, and you can make it as fancy or simple as you want. At first, it will be hard to get used to the terms but once you are in it, you will be hooked.

Some of the items you will need first of all are: Small straight scissors, paper cutter, adhesives (to hold down your pictures), pens (any color), pencils, paper (of course). Some more possibilities are stamps and ink pads.

Is there a Wal-Mart near you? They have a small sample of scrapbooking items. Ebay is a good place to look for scrapbook Album kits.

I'm glad you have taken the initiative to review scrapbooking websites. There are lots of ideas for pages. A page is either 1 or 2 pages (or it might be called a "layout"). Keep reviewing the websites for inspiration. They'll have a lot of "extra" stuff but you don't need that yet until you feel comfortable with what you have.
