Scrap booking advice?

Okay so i have to make 2 scrap books by June!!! and i have creativity but when it comes to scrap booking, i just don't know what to do. One is for a baby being born in June(a boy) and the other is for my brother who is graduating and leaving for the army in june, i really want both of them to be special but i need ideas/tips/advice of how to make it good. I want a cricut but they are so expensive. any tips are appreciated!!

With such a short time to make your scrapbooks I would suggest looking for kits with the themes you need. Some kits are some with scrapbooks while others are not, but the kits will usually give you coordinating paper, stickers, and embellishments. The kits will save you a lot of time looking for different papers and accessories and you can spend more time adding photos and choosing your layouts. If you are really running short on time some companies make pre-made pages and all you have to do is add pictures to the pre-designed and decorated pages.

Visit your local craft stores (Joanns, Michaels, etc) and bring coupons with you so you can save money in the process! Have fun and good luck.
