new to scrapbooking, please help!

[queenbee]

going to attempt a scrapbooking album for DD! i went to SPOTLIGHT today and their albums were awful (no little girl ones really). any other ideas on where to get them from? i am looking at a 20 sheet one if possible (a big one). i got the paper, a pack of 12 sheets (vellum paper). i also got a scrapbooking storage box to put everything else in.

i am new to this, what do i need? i can get little things to stick on etc but does anyone have any brilliant ideas for me? do i use glue or tape?

thanks for your help!!
