I used Modge Podge for the first time with my mini album (using Jungle Boogie) and it turned out great!

I used it both as a glue and as a sealer. With Bree's tip I let my printed pages sit overnight (to make sure the ink is really dry) then I adhered the front pages let it sit for a couple of hours before doing the back pages. When everything was dried I applied a thin coat on top of the pages to seal it. No paper curling or bubbles at all, I'm so happy!

I was worried that I would mess things up and I wasn't sure that my photo paper was great but I did okay!

Will post pics later, I can't find my memory card for the camera.

I've still yet to try it, just because of some of the mixed reviews that I've heard from ladies here. I do have some though and I would really like to try it as a sealer at least.

Can't wait to see pics of your album Jacq!

I was afraid to try it as well but since it was a small album (3x3) I wouldn't waste so much ink if I messed it up so I gave it a try. I'm so glad I did! I also love brush strokes it leaves on the pages.

Now I'll be using it in all my projects!

I used it the other day on my album. I only used it as a sealer though since I had already had the pages on the chipboard. I'm happy with how it turned out. I will definitely be using it again. Probably will even use it to glue the pages on next time! :)

Oh Jacq, I can see the texture in the picture and it is awesome! I haven't tried it yet either....but now, I might have to. Did you use the Matte Finish Modge Podge?

Oh man. I HATE the brush strokes! I was just coming here to ask you lovely ladies how to avoid the brush strokes. :(
I bought a spray sealant, only to bring it home and read that nursing mothers shouldn't use it. Boooooo! :mad:
