How to Make a Scrapbook for a Loved One
Some of the best memories we create in our lives are with the people we love and care about.
While we are always able to cherish and hold these memories in our hearts, creating a scrapbook of the most poignant and special times in our lives can be an amazing experience.
Creating a scrapbook is a skill that anyone can learn easily, and is a gift that shows people that you truly care about them.
The key to creating a scrapbook is creating a consistent theme and transitioning between moments that your loved one will cherish.
The Steps to Creating an Effective Scrapbook Go around your house or apartment, and gather all photos that you can find of you with your loved ones.
It's possible to gather photos from lots of sources today, including old photo albums, photos stored from digital cameras, still images from videos, and images that are available from social media websites.
Facebook can be an excellent resource for gathering photos that other people have tagged, online photo albums such as Flickr can also hold lots of photos that will be good for scrap-booking.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Photos available on websites such as Facebook may only be available at a low resolution.
These photos are designed to appear properly on websites, but when printed or shown on other media, these photos may appear as low quality or blurry.
As a rule of thumb, when printing these photos, try to use them as smaller images in part of a montage, or make sure that the resolution of the online photo is at least 1600x1200.
After gathering all the photos you want to use in a scrapbook, organize the photos by a theme, and select the images you think will be represent the moments you want to remember.
As a rule of thumb, using 3-6 large photos per page will help prevent a cluttered and overcrowded look.
Local arts and crafts stores can be a great resource for finding materials to begin building your scrapbook.
Here is a list of materials that can be used for scrap-booking: A blank photo album or other book, with transparent cellulite for covering photos.
Glue or tape for attaching photos and decorations to photo album pages.
Decorations such as stickers, colored tape, or flat knick-knacks can make great accessories for remembering special moments with loved ones.
Incorporating souvenirs from your vacations (if creating a vacation album) can be an amazing way to trigger memories of a trip with a loved one.
For a scrap book about a trip to the beach, a sand dollar can be taped to the inside of the photo album, some sand from the beach can be placed in a bag next to photos of you with your loved ones on the beach, etc.
When you are finished creating your scrapbook, including personal messages on each page about moments that you shared together can help preserve details of moments that you have shared with loved ones that may have been forgotten.
Most importantly, have fun!
