Tips and Hints for completing your book:
* I would recommend that you use a 9×9, 8×8 or 8.5×8.5 album, although if you intend on using multiple photographs and lots of embellishments on every page 12×12 would be more suitable

* Start collecting/copying every photograph with you in it.
* Don’t have any or many photographs of yourself….Take some! Take lots!
* Get a notebook or cheap exercise book and write down anything about yourself as it comes to you
* Use stuff you love (scrapbooking supplies)
* This is a good opportunity to use up your stash
* You could use your favourite colour scheme
* Try something different on every page
* Experiment on every page
* Use your own handwriting
* Scraplift if all if you want
* Be honest
* Use your own style of scrapbooking or try something a bit different
* Do the pages as simple or as elaborate as you choose
* Use hidden journaling to conceal sensitive or personal information

REMEMBER: This is your book about yourself and that means you get to do it how you want!
