Scrapbooking! Can you tell if the paper/photo you have is acid free?

I am just starting to scrapbook, I have lots of old paper, ribbons, notions and photo paper just hanging around my house from previous craft projects. Is there any way I can tell if they are acid free, or do I have to go out and buy all new stuff just to make sure?

1. Buy a pen to check acidity. You mark the paper or any item and the color will tell you if it is acid free. The color codes will be on the pen. They are very cheap, just a few dollars and well worth the investment to protect your precious memories.

2. put it in a photo cover
