Lets get gluey

Hey Scrapers (I mean scrap-book-ers, not people who get in fights).

Today’s tip is about glue! While this may not sound very exciting, you need glue to stick all the photos, newspaper clippings and extra bits and bobs into your scrap book (or books if you are anything like me :) lol). I like to use Uhu glue sticks. I’ve found that they stick quite well onto a variety of surfaces.


It usually only takes a single coat to get pretty much anything to hold onto the page. The glue stick doesn’t hold so well to material, so I’d suggest getting some fabric glue for that. One thing I really love about glue sticks is that if you look extra hard (try craft shops) you can find coloured ones. My favourite one is purple!

The glue goes on all fun and colourful, but dries clear so no need to worry about being super neat. As an added bonus the colour parts show you where you have glued already, which stops you from over gluing. Over gluing can seep through to the other side of the paper or make it go all wavy. You don’t really want that when you are making your scrap book.

That’s it from me, go and get stuck into it (pun intended).

Hi everyone

Seeing as I haven't posted anything since forever (lols! It hasn't been that long really) I've decided to make this page about scrap-booking. Expect lots of fun hints, tips and shots (that's photos) of my own s-books (that's scrap books of course!) over the next few weeks.

Thought for the day: Stay true to yourself and you can achive anything.
