My grandson is the reason I stuck scrapbooks. There is a camping trip GERD and I found last year that he’s always funny to hear details of adventure. This makes a giggling fit. Of course I got better at telling stories, the more he enjoyed it.
And after he began to show and tell session at school experience, she wanted me to show it to his memory also.
Well, this is my creative appetite peak. So I decided a few old photos to find a particular journey and their clothes in a story book theme that together we could enjoy again and again. Luckily I have a memory organized by year and season, so I can easily the photos.

Select or create an Album Themes
In category General Holidays, I took an album title that most arrested a specific memory. In this case, my camping trip entitled “A scary story Bear-ry.” This helps me to better focus on what I wanted to express.
What you choose as your album and the theme is entirely up to you. You can spend money on a theme that was so self-adjust, or go all recycling conscious and only use the existing materials and equipment you find around the house.
When selecting an album, she recalled how many pictures you plan to use and if you need or want extensive album.
The most common measure of the album is ready and the paper is 12×12, but if you want a digital picture print from the options page online albums, 8.5×11 as well.
Scrapbook Supplies
To start, you only need a few supplies. When shopping for paper supplies and make sure you are acid free and archive products to use. This ensures that your precious family memories are not destroyed from time to time. Here’s the list:
* Cover Album and page template (or create your own)
* Cutting tools (scissors, paper cutter)
* Pen, pencils, pens
* Cardboard / Photo Paper (acid free, archival
* Adhesives (glue stick, double sided tape)
* Stickers (old buttons, ribbon scraps, bought a sticker)
* Embellishments (found in fabric and other interesting composition)
Get Creative
Use your imagination. And, if you’re stuck in the land of no man’s land “, you can to the Internet for ideas and help design the layout. Many people shared their inspiring works online as an example to inspire you.
Remember that you do not need to each image in your scrapbook album. Think of your notebook as a “greatest hits you.” This will help you edit. And remember, sometimes it is better to keep it simple! Happy Scrapbooking for everyone!
Postscript My grandson did the album so much, he insisted that I lent to him for special events and tell at school for family gatherings unforgettable. Needless to say, the story click on the class!
