Over the next several posts I am going to be discussing a Holiday 8 by 8 album. 
The overall album is about the Holidays of 2006.  My in-laws were in need of extra family time, so we created it for them. 
Getting started:
1.  I went through all the pictures I took of the holiday season. 
2.  Determine the kind of theme of your book.  I wanted to get this one done in a weekend (I was on-call for my job at that time)  That meant it would be a minimalistic album.  Mostly straight lines, and square/rectangle pictures. 
3.  I printed the pictures and determined the supplies I needed.  -- Since this was a holiday book, I was going to use traditional holiday colors.  Browns for Thanksgiving, Red and Green for Christmas, etc.  I also decided I was going to use mostly plain cardstock. 
4.  Went to the store to get what I needed.
I have always found that having a plan when you are scrapbooking is the best thing for your budget. 
Happy Scrapping ~
