For the past three years, Sharon Ninaber bas been busy making scrapbooks for eacb (of ber four cbtldren. The Miltonian was first introduced su the ant scrapbook designing wbile living in British Columbia several years ago. Its buge out west and it bas just stanted tu comc to Ontario recently," she said, adding ber designs are featured in the Creating Keepsakes 2002 Idea Book. "My girlfriend got into it a few years ago and 1 thought the books were amnazing." Wben purchasing a scrapbook. the paper must be acid free in order to kcep the pages frum deteri- oratlng. she continued. "This way the books will ast for gcnerations. The yellow colour trom old paper won't fade il you use acid-free products." For the past year. Ms Ninaber bas held scrap- book workshops out of ber home once a wcek to belp beginners get started. "Some peuple dont want tu tackle their chtld's life btstory. Su tbe theme mnigbt be birtbdays and for each birthday you migbt put a picture and a note on the page and su on. Or you migbt do an ABC book. You could have a picture of your child and the letter A for alligator, and have a picture, and then do the rest of the alphabet on eacb page." Scrapbouks alsu make for great wedding pres- ents, Ms Ninaber said, addtng you can get as cre- ative as you want when putting a book together. "There are a lot of Web sites out there with puems. You can aisu add stickers and ribbons to emphasize the theme of the page." If you want to make a scrapbook but don't know where to begin. she suggests sorting through the photos and selecting the best unes. "Then you have to decide on a theme. It could be birthdays, Christmas or special occasions. You have to decide before you start the book how deep you want te, gel into the history." Some peuple prefer to design their books in chronolugical order, Ms Ninaber cuntinued, but added chronolugy isn't key. "Each page can have a theme. You can have a picture of someune in the garden and then decorate the page with garden stickers or cut outs and then paste a few words about what's happening. 1 did a page witb a beach theme and put a sun, watcr and esee RESULT on page 12 Y ufll 'It's funny how I keep Club UoueTister Coo$5.49 going back to old days nc. 3 large saladé 1 large fries, med gravy 1 bag of Homestyle 2 Bite Brownies A triend from higb scbool e-matled me & for a limted time, a free 2L Bottie of Pepsi the other day. i bad come acruss bis brutb- er througb work, recognized the last name, -2,, 1 or 15 pcs. for $27.99 and what do you know, it's a small wurld. a He was a school friend, which meant we 27 anS r (0)884 1 were friends at schuol, but nut out of O h which realiy made nu difference.
