Grandparents memory scrapbook

| I want to do a grandparents memory scrapbook for my niece. What I plan to do is have my parents answer a list of questions about their memories then put them in a scrapbook. I've seen the books (like Grandma share your memories with me) and did not care for them so I want to do my own. My question: What is the best way to do this? Is it ok to print them on my inkjet printer on acid free paper? Or, print them and take to a copy shop and have them print on acid free paper? I don't know which will last longer: inkjet ink or copier toner.
After that is figured out, I'll have my parents answer the questions in their own handwriting. Then I'll cut out each questions with answer and put into a scrapbook. Possibly, include pictures of them at various times in their lives if I can get the pics from my parents.
How does that sound? I want to get started as soon as possible because my parents (especially my mother's) memories aren't what they used to be.
Also, are there any other good scrapbook forums that you don't have to pay for? |

| Hello, and what a wonderful idea. It is funny, but my parents and I don't seem to have many of the same memories...I swear I don't think they are my real parents. They never seem to remember all the trouble we kids were always in, I guess that is a good thing. I am not sure about which of these will last longer, the inkjet ink, or copier toner, but I would personally go with the inkjet ink. Copier toner smudges, and I don't have any problems with my inkjet ink, so I think you will be safe. Just be sure to use a page protector, and everything will be safer. You can always laminate the questions, and then put them on the paper also. Just a thought. I found a good site today, www.Gracefulbee.com, you may want to check them out. alot of good information. Have fun, and let us know how it turns out. sherry |
