Types of adhesives
For beginners I recommend photos splits, also known as photo tabs and photo squares.
Tape runner is also a good choice for beginners. Photo tape is a great adhesive for
adhering large pieces of paper. I also use photo tape punches by placing the tape on the
paper BEFORE I punch, then the punched piece has the adhesive already in place, you just
have to remove the backing and place it on your page when you are ready to use the piece.
Here is a photo of photo splits/ photo squares/ photo tabs. These are available from a
variety of companies.

Tape runner is available from CM and Panodia.

Personally, I never use a "wet" adhesive on a photo. I like to use photos
splits or tape runner on all of my photos, just in case I want to remove the photo
someday.
Adhesives to avoid? Rubber cement, Paper Cement and Glue Sticks because they may not be
long lasting. "Yes, you will find these in the scrapbooking departments of many
stores, but my advice is to avoid them.
