An NSD nightmare...

[ScrappyDistractions]

Brads or eyelets?  Needle and thread?  Am I giving all my best ideas away?

[SiriF]

OH MY!!!  Good luck!  Worse comes to worse - just leave blank spots for the photos 

I got it to work! Hopefully it will keep working for a while longer

Those are good ideas!
 

[Mommyof5]

I’m thinking brads, twine, staples, paper clips,
Oh!!! And stitching! Stitching is fun!

[stateless]

I would have to make peace with my sewing machine!

Hmmm, well I guess I would resort to using paint to adhere my papers together, and fold over some washi/clear tape to make a sticky back for little embellishments. I’m very concious of what touches my photographs so I’d staple them instead of using paint. Or maybe perhaps use stickers in the corners or around the edges to hold them down! Since I’m making a mess already I’d have tons of things to stick on wet paint- like glitter and buttons and flowers and pom poms. Grab my son and make him stick his toes in it too!

Just to be clear, your pet also ate the ingredients to make your own glue and everything resembling those glossy accents.

Ok, so at this point, I am not sure there would be time to be crafty as I would be too busy cleaning up after said pet, lol.  If I had time, I would put pages together and then put them in bags until I got glue.  I used to get worked up and very disappointed when things didn't go as planned but have turned that around for my own stress level.  Deep breaths.

I'm quite certain someone else in your household or a good friend who doesn't scrap will be cleaning up from the pet.

stickers on the corners is interesting, and staples work. BTW - I had to fix the stapler here this week, it seems that the younger generation doesn't know how to use staplers correctly, although I don't understand why he was using it at all since he does remote school and submits everything online.

One can hope!

staples, paper clips, Mod Podge, gesso!

Gum or acrylic paint. I also have a 10 years old tub of wallpaper glue stashed somewhere. That would probably work, right?

I am in the middle of a true iNSD nightmare at the moment myself. I have a really old Mac, and it was working fine, but slow. I had issues with my laser printer, and my brother downloaded new drivers for it using his new laptop. I hooked it up to my Mac, and now any program I try to print from stops responding as soon as I try to open the printer dialogue box. If I can’t get this fixed, I won’t be able to print photos at all for iNSD! I just spent a lot of money buying ink and photo paper for my photo printer (it’s not wireless so I have to use my Mac to print), so I can’t afford getting photos printed

I’ll be trying to fix it tomorrow, wish me luck!

Can you transfer your photos to your brother’s laptop? Then you can print them from there.

Staples, brads

I was thinking of this before I found this thread! Staples was the first thing I thought of! Brads is good!
Did we escape the trauma with some tucked away washi??

Perhaps

[Jolly Holly Scraps]

Wow!
I think I would use staples, paper clips, hat pins, buttons/flair with pins, regular buttons and thread or embroidery floss. Also, THIS is assuming my gel medium and Modge Podge is destroyed, too right? 'Cause I know I can chew some gum and use that, and hard candies MIGHT have to take the place of dimensional adhesive and pop dots!
