*grins delightedly* Oh this is wonderful!
I am a complete scrapbooking junkie, and have been making scrapbooks since I was ten. I have tried everything I have ever seen...from having to drive to Melbourne to go to the one place that stocked acid free tape, back at age 19, to fiskars, Creative Memories, scrapping shops, Spotlight and making my own paper!
Regarding the pens question, the two things you need to look out for are acid free....*as a calligrapher, I can assure you some inks do have acid, and these become unstable after a while, causing fading and colour change* and permanency.
The gel pens are suposed to be acid free and permanent, but I have only used them for three years, so can't be sure. I personally adore the Creative Memories pens, because they are pigma pens, which are the safest and most stable of all inks. I still like good old Derwent pencils as well!
I became a Creative Memories consultant last year, because I trust their products. Oddly enough, I called to sign up, about an hour before we found out baby October was ectopic, and I think having this to focus on really helped me not to completely lose it, like I did with Cynthia (Feb M/c)
Ambah, I love your baby pages! They really show off your precious DS. I love the way newborns look.
I am not promoting myself at all, but if anyone wants a CM consultant in their area, I can find one for you.
