I picked out all the pictures frist than the paper,stickers,etc.I than aaranged them on the paper frist than glued them down.Thier were quite a few pictures that I had to copy,shrink,etc.All of our family gave me idea's on what to do.On the outside of the album I glued down filler than covered it with material and trimed it out.on my dad's navy page those were the real buttons and the picture of him and his friends when in Shanghai China 1946.I had a lot fun doing this and everyone loved it.
