Ideas For Scrapbooking the Major Events in Your Life!
Scrapbooking is one of the most popular hobbies in the United States today. One of the more popular trends in scrapbooking now is to create scrapbooks of everyday moments. But it’s still important to create more traditional scrapbooks – scrapbooks of vacations, weddings, and babies. And while a few ideas for scrapbooking these events follow, inspiration can be found all around.
Ideas for Scrapbooking Your Wedding
While most
people have an album of wedding picture, creating a
scrapbook of
your wedding can be so much more. A photo album
just holds the pictures from your wedding; a
scrapbook tells the store. One idea for scrapbooking
your wedding is to tell the story of how you and your
spouse met. You can include pictures of each you
growing up, pictures of the two of you together when
you started dating, and finish with a picture from
your wedding. Another idea for scrapbooking your
wedding is to include memorabilia, such as flower
petals and ribbon from your bouquet, a copy of your
invitation, and the program from your ceremony. And
in your wedding scrapbook you can also include a
section of your lives after the wedding – honeymoon
pictures, pictures of your first home together, and
the story of your first anniversary.
Ideas for Scrapbooking Your Baby Album
Creating a scrapbook for your baby is usually pretty easy, since you have so much inspiration from the pictures! But there are ways to make your baby’s scrapbook unique. One popular idea for scrapbooking your baby is to create an album with one layout for each month of your baby’s life. Not only will you be able to capture all of the precious memories, but you will be able to see how much he or she has grown over the course of the year. A lot of new moms like to scrapbook their pregnancy as well. You can include when you first found out you were expecting, the first pictures of your baby (the sonogram!), and pictures of setting up the nursery and the baby shower. Another idea for scrapbooking your baby album is to include journaling from both parents about the first time you saw and held your baby.
Ideas for Scrapbooking Your Vacation
Probably the most common scrapbook that people make is a vacation scrapbook. An easy idea for scrapbooking your vacation is to keep a journal while you’re on vacation. Then, when you get home, the journaling for your scrapbook is already completed (and you haven’t forgotten any of the fun details!) And don’t forget to take pictures of some of the non-sightseeing parts of your trip – traveling (on the plane, train, or in the car), arriving at the hotel, some of the fun meals you eat, and the mishaps that inevitably happen on vacation. Another idea for scrapbooking your vacation is to save all the ephemera you collect as you travel (ticket stubs, coins, brochures, etc.) to use when you get home on a page.
