Picture Guest book - What pens work? Anyone have a good one...

Like pics with covers over them? Like a scrapbook?

I bought sharpies because I like them for scrap-booking and I knew I would be using them again.

Here's a tip I got, whatever pen you choose, have a couple of spare pens, as they tend to go missing.

Its a picture book, not like a scrap book... the pages are kinda shiney...

I would recommend le pen or the Sharpie fine tips which now come in a variety of colors too! Use a fine tip though because they are a lot less likely to smudge.

Sharpie makes Acid Free ones to write on pictures for scrap-booking purposes. I'd hit up a craft store near you and look at the scrap-booking pens. They can get pricey, but well worth the money.

Use a permanent marker

Oh cute!

I'd look at scrapbooking markers. They are acid free and won't fade over time. They aren't cheap- like $5-8 each, but will be worth it 20 years from now. A sharpie will work well, but it will fade over time.

We experimented with a Sharpie pen (fine tip) and it smudged on the photo paper. What eventually worked was a regular ball-point pen.
