I bought my albums from the US over the net.. brand is CB Gibson. They are great albums. When it comes to an album try and get one that has a material spine. A BIG recommendation. As if they are paper they are likely to tear once they have a fair bit in them. Other places you can get them are ebay/online or even Lincraft are good for scrapbooking materials.

Um re tape or glue.. you can use either. But just make sure you get the special scrapbooking ones that are acid free. I use the tape for sticking large piece of paper or photos. I use the glue for little things.

I found ebay great for bargins with scrapbooking things. If you buy a few things from the same seller you can usually get a good deal. Otherwise ive bought from Lincraft, Spotlight, even Kmart, big w and target can have soem good things.

Last thing i can recommend to do is just google scrapbooking pages and have a look at what other people do. It will give you some good ideas and places where to start.

Best of luck and have fun!!
