Scrapbooks & Autographs

[traceymichelle]

I have a question. Is there anyone here who does scrapbooking and uses autographs as well? If so, do you have any tips on how to preserve the quality of the autograph while placing in the scrapbook. Is it okay to use tape on the autograph? You know stuff like that? I just sent off a big batch of letters to different stars of Doctor Who and I'm hoping that by next year sometime I'll be able to give my hubby and his father a scrapbook of everything Doctor Who....help!

I keep my autographs in scrapbooks, but freely. I wouldn't advise you to attach tape or any other adhesive to them. Doing that could ruin the value of the autograph, and ruin the actual picture.

I would never suggest using tape on an autogrpah. What I do is buy those clear mounting corners that stick on one side and the other side will hold one corner of the autograph. They are actually really cheap. I think I pay $2.50 for 250 at Aaron Brothers and they work really well. Plus they are acid free and you want to use acid free paper as well.

Thanks so much for the advice guys! I'll definitely refrain from using tape and I'll try out the mounting corners...I had forgotten about those!

I use corners in scrap books too. For bigger pictures I make my own corners.

I'm just gonna say one thing:

Do not tape your autographs They will be ruined.
