Problem: Article: You can find scrapbooks of varying sizes and designs at a local craft store or online. Since you’ve picked out your pictures, you should have an idea of how many pages you’ll need in the scrapbook. Choose a book with elements that you like, such as a leather cover or beaded embellishments.  Choosing an album that goes along with the theme of your wedding will make the scrapbook go well with the pictures you’re including. For example, if the wedding was elegant with a blue and white color scheme, you might pick out a white satin album with a blue ribbon. This includes the color scheme you want to incorporate throughout the book as well as the font and any embellishments. If you’re going for a minimalist book, you might want more muted colors and few embellishments, or maybe you’d like to use your wedding’s color scheme in the memory book and lots of scripting. For example, if your wedding colors were red and gray, you’ll want to pick out cardstock and embellishments that go with these colors. Your supplies might include different colors and patterns of cardstock, stickers, adhesive, punchers, and other embellishments. If you’re going to back the photos on other paper, write with pens on the pages, or attach mementos in the book, make sure you purchase the supplies you’ll need to do all of this.  Consider purchasing a package of scrapbook cardstock, as these have lots of different patterns that all go together as one theme. Decorative stickers are great for adding a little bit of flair and personality to your book. Look for acid-free tape or glue so that your pictures and mementos don't get damaged. Things such as the text from speeches, the program from the ceremony, wedding invitations, or the food menu can be included in your wedding book. Gather all of these special mementos together so that they’re ready to be taped or pasted into the book.  Handwritten mementos add a personalized touch—see if the people who wrote the speeches would consider writing them down for you so that you can put them in the book. If you can’t find a memento that you really want to include, reach out to others that were at the wedding to see if they have one you can have. It’s a good idea to do all of your photo cropping and paper layering before you actually attach the photos onto the album’s pages, just in case you need to move things around. Place the photos and embellishments on the page to space them all out.  Add an accent paper under a photo to make it pop, or write a description of the photo on a piece of paper and place it beneath the photograph. Take a picture of the layout once you create one you like so that you can easily replicate it. This will also give you an accurate idea of how many photos will fit in your wedding book. Once they’re placed where you’d like them to be, it’s time to start adhering the pictures and other things to the pages. Go slowly and place the glue or tape on the back of each picture, memento, or embellishment so that it’s not visible after it’s placed on the page. If you’re using glue, it’s best to use just a few dabs as opposed to a massive amount so that the glue doesn’t leak through.
Summary: Purchase a scrapbook in a style of your choosing. Choose a design theme to tie the whole book together. Pick out the supplies you’ll need for each page. Gather together the memorabilia from the wedding. Lay out each page before cutting or adhering the photos. Attach the photos and embellishments to each page.

Problem: Article: Tulip bulbs are best planted in September or October in the northern climates and October or November in the southern climates. The warmer your climate, the later they should be planted. The soil should be below 60°F (15°C).  You can keep tulip bulbs in your refrigerator (or some other cool, dry location) for about 2 months before planting season if you buy them in summer. However, do not store them next to apples, as they give off ethylene, destroying the bulb. Most bulbs need 12-14 weeks of a "cold period" to bring about beautiful bulbs come spring. Do not buy bulbs after December 1st unless they've been "pre-cooled." It should be sunny at least part of the day where you plant your tulips. In places like the American southeast, plant them in a place that gets morning sun only. Tulips want sun, but they also want cool soil – don't give them sun that'll scorch them. If you're farther north, sun all day may be fine (the soil will be naturally cool enough). But if you live further south where it's hotter, shade in the afternoon will be better to keep the soil cooler. There is no sub-species of tulip that prefers excessive moisture. The soil should be well-drained, neutral to slightly acidic, fertile, and even sandy. Wet soil is death to a tulip. Never purposefully go out of your way to water your tulips – all you can do is ensure drainage by adding shredded pine bark or even sand to the area. The bigger the bulb, the deeper your hole should be. It should be 12 inches (30.5 cm) to 15 inches (38.1 cm) deep. Loosen the soil to ensure drainage or create a raised bed.  The bigger the bulb, the bigger the bloom will be, too.  If you live in a very warm climate, you may wish to keep the bulbs in your fridge for the first 4-6 weeks to simulate cold weather. Give it a light watering every couple of weeks to retain a bit of moisture. After planting your tulip bulbs, cover them with chopped leaves, wood chips or mulch. If you have rodents or animals in your garden that you're worried about, you may need to erect a cage or fence around the bulbs. You may also consider putting thorny leaves or gravel in with the soil to deter pests.  Use a 1 inch (2.5 cm) to 2 inches (5.1 cm) layer of mulch, leaves, or wood chips to protect the bulbs, control weeds and retain moisture. If you're planting perennials, you'll need to feed them every year to start them going again. You can use organic material, compost, or a balanced time-release bulb food every fall to start the process going.
Summary:
Plant your tulips in the fall, about 6 to 8 weeks before winter. Choose an area that receives some shade. Choose sandy, well-drained soil with a pH of 6 to 6.5. Plant the bulbs at a depth that is about three times as deep as the bulb. Apply mulch.
