Default Newbie Question

Ok I bought Dani's Bunny Trail kit and got the free bracket album. I LOVE this album and would love to use it but I honestly have never made anything with a chipboard bracket album before. How do you do it and what do you need? Do you just adhere your pages to it? I know total newbs here! I appreciate the help! Thanks!

I just went over to your Blog....It is great. Thanks for the tut's on the albums, your turned out really great. I got your Sweet & Sour kit last week so I am so getting the chipboard Key Plate and doing a book for my niece. She is just learning everyones names (17 months old) so I am putting everyones pics in it for her. What do you suggest for covering the book so it does not get wrecked by those little hands? Mod Podge or should I use clear contact paper?

Christine I'm just guessing, cuz I've never used clear contact paper for an album, but I would think modpodge would work better. Or a spray sealant. Contact paper can come apart at the seams and stuff, whereas a spray or modpodge wouldn't. 2 or 3 coats of the stuff should be plenty to keep it safe.

Hmmmmm....that's true too, lol. Maybe just check the labels on the different kinds of sealant and see?
