Album - You should chose an album that suits your needs.  There are many to chose from varying in size, cover type, and page quality.

 

Die-cuts - These can be used behind pictures or to decorate your pages.  There are many different themes to chose from.  Click on the themes below to see a sample collection on die-cuts.

Markers, colored pencils, crayons - Any types of pens, pencils or crayons can be used for decorating.  Markers are the best because they will not fade or smear.

Page Protectors - These are good to have because they protect your pictures/pages from discolor, deterioration, and fading.  You can also buy plastic sleeves which fit over the album pages which protect in the same way.

Punches - Punches cut out different shapes.  You can use the little cut-outs to make pictures, borders, or whatever creative way you can find to use them!

Scissors- These scissors can be bought in sets - I've seen sets of 3 to 8.
They can also be bought individually.  Mainly, they are used to add a
creative touch to your pictures or backgrounds!  These are the edges
they can make.

 

Stamping - Any type of stamps can be used depending on the theme you chose for your page.

Stenciling - Stencils are helpful when you want a specific pattern to be repeated or even if you aren't confident with your drawing skills!  They are helpful tools that come in all kinds of shapes and designs!

Stickers - The best stickers to buy are acid-free because they will not ruin your pictures.  You can buy acid-free stickers almost anywhere but make sure it says "acid-free" on the package before you use it on your pictures.  The number of themes are endless: here are some examples below.
