the main thing you will is paper! you can buy packs of paper, or single sheets, different thicknesses/textures.. i usually just grab whatever i like!

if you have photos in mind that you want to scrap, maybe take them along with you, to buy suitable stickers/embellishments/papers etc other wise, like i did - just grab things you like, and then you can choose things as your making the page!

there are no set rules when scrapbooking! get some magazines or look online for some ideas and inspirations! dont be put off and think you cant do something as good as someone else, because you can!!

it is a lot of fun, and so rewarding! you should also get an album so your pages dont get damaged (i buy mine from the reject shop - $8, just as good as any other, just cheaper!) i love going to Spotlight for my scrap stuff! scrapbook shops are always a bit dearer, but have a bigger range - depends how much $$ you have to spend!

good luck and have fun!
