Supplies

Small photo album, self-adhesive ribbon, self-adhesive vellum (transparent paper) quotes, scrapbooking pens and pictures

Activity Detail

Would you like a less frustrating or time consuming option to scrapbooking with all those stickers and special paper? I did, so I decided to simplify the memory capturing process by making my photo albums more about the subject than the display. I bought a photo album, 8x8 or 4x8, and some self-adhesive ribbon and vellum quotes about children. With your child's help, you can border the top, bottom and/or sides with the ribbon, sprinkle in some cute quotes and still have room for a 4x6 picture and space to journal something short and sweet. Your child may be able to dictate what they want you to write about that snapshot in time! Sepia-toned or black and white pictures are especially striking in these simple albums.
