Are sharpies safe to use in scrapbooks?

I know that sharpies are not safe to use on photographs but I was wondering if they are safe to use for journaling or if I should go get new markers. Thanks.

1. Well they will bleed through.So if you plan on covering the back up then-Yes!But if you don't then-No!


Hope it Helped?!?!?!?!

2. Lots of pens are archival quality and not too expensive, but sharies aren't always archival. Some of them are. Does it say if your pens are archival on the side?

Here is a site that sells Pigma Archival Quality Micron pens. They are pretty good according to artists:

Also, if you know a Creative Memories consultant, they sell excellent marking pens for scrapbooking.

Stampin' Up! demonstrators can show you more nice pens for scrapbooking too.

Here's why it is important to think about your scrapbooking supplies the way you are:
