I have a plain black photo album that is going to serve as a scrapbook for my mom's 50th birthday. I want to decorate it using cutouts from magazines, etc. Is there a product I can use to do this? Modge Podge? What's the best thing to do?

I wasn't clear before - I want to decorate the OUTSIDE of the album, like the cover! I already have the pages done, my mom's friends and family put those together - I want to adhere clippings from magazines, etc. to the album itself - what can I use to do that?

If you want the album to last a long time (and I'm sure you do), your best bet is gluing the items down and then looking for some clear-coat acrylic that is durable and won't destroy the pictures you glued down. Mod-Podge would be good for getting the stuff down to begin w/, and you can get the glossy kind to put over top of it, but I've found that it's not quite as durable as I'd hoped it'd be. Try talking to someone in your local craft store that knows their stuff about items like spray-on clear-coat vs. Mod-Podge, etc.

Go on the computer and search for images you like, print them out and stick them in. You can also use magazine cutouts (the letters are cool), pressed flowers, interesting leaves, ticket stubs... Basically anything that evokes a memory or feeling. A glue stick works just dandy.

Try using Scrapbook Adhesive it's pretty fun to use but can be expensive...

You can just glue your cutouts to the pages with ordinary glue.
