To plastic or not to plastic....

....that is the question....

Okay Lis, you brought up the fact that you don't use plastic sheets....well, I do use them but am curious as to when or how did you decide when NOT to use them.

Some of my sheets are so bulky and thick, and I do use those beautiful square adhesives you talked so highly about but am afraid of losing some of the items off the page after a few years....

I will admit that the shine of the plastic sheets gets annoying so it much look much cooler without them...almost like a pop-up book....but how do you know you've attached them properly for secure keeping???

Any advice or tips???

    Well actually there wasn't a point where I decided whether or not I would use plastic... I think it was more of an issue of not wanting to have to deal with the plastic. Most of the pictures I use are ones that I have printed copies of from my computer so I am not to worried about losing them or having them get really old and yellow because I can just replace them if they do.

    As for attaching things I use glue sticks (although that isn't usually the best because after a few months the pics and other things start to come up). I also use double sided adhesive paper in either strips or sqaures ( I don't know the official name but I am sure that the scrapbook store would know).
