    I love the binding idea!!

    I'd like to do some sort of scrap book - mine are in a big scrap book, but I tried that with my engagement cards and the book ended up getting really fat and unworkable. Hmm

    Might google that website...

    I have put their new baby 'first' ones into their albums. The rest I have kept in a shoe box. One day I want to decorate their boxes for them and make them special keepsake boxes.

    if you want to scrap book them, you may need to get a good quality photo album rather than a scrap book - the ones that expand as you add pages. they're designed to take more mass. any of the albums that are specifically designed for scrapbooking layouts should have this feature in them, as scrap book layouts are very rarely flat. But you may have to check that it's an expandable one before you start. i know i've got a couple that i intend doing this with - one is an exxy creative memories album i was given, one a cheaper kmart one i bought - and both have the ability to add a lot more pages - i just won't add as many pages as i CAN - to make room for the cards to go in there.

    now if the poppet would let me do it all.... hmmmm....

    Oooooh thanks BG! Ok now I know what to look for.

    CM, thanks so much, that website is awesome. I am now tempted to send off a mass order for two first birthdays, two new arrivals, one wedding and one engagement!

    And then do some for my niece and nephew as a surprise for my sister!!

    If only it wasn't going to break the bank!

    So, off to look at the alternative scrap book/photo album idea that BG has suggested...
