Scrapbooks
are great fun to make and to look through. Part-photo-album,
part-keepsake-keeper, part-journal, a scrapbook can be a reminder of
a particular time, a certain vacation, a special trip, an entire
childhood or just one event.
Back
in the olden days, we used to keep photos in albums that often slowly
ate away at the colors or clarity of the photos. Now we know better,
and there are a lot of acid-free papers and adhesives.
Back
in the olden days, we often wrote right on our only precious photo of
a person or event; now we can store a digital copy of the photo AND
as much written info as we could possibly want, ready to print out
another copy should we need it.
We
can even create collages and albums online, without having to use
paper at all. I love a digital scrapbook! — ...but I still love actual 3-dimensional scrapbooks I can hold in my lap and slowly pore over as I turn each page.
There
are a million quadrillion bajillion scrapbooking ideas online. Here
are just a few:
I
just started this Pinterest board
to collect a few good ideas I found on scrapbooking about kids and
kids' artwork and kids' projects and papers.
- This Pinterest board has lots of pages about topics such as Galileo and photosynthesis. Very inspiring!
- This Pinterest board shares some delightful scrapbook pages that are mostly photos-plus-decorations (rather than, say, kids' artwork or memorabilia).
Lapbooks
are special scrapbooks meant to keep in one spot a lot of what is
learned on a topic, as a great way to share with others now and
remind ourselves later.
- Here are some ideas about how to organize memorabilia. This is more than just scrapbooking—it's displaying, sorting, and storing!
