What should I scrap?
Sometimes it’s difficult to figure out what you want to include in your scrapbook. It becomes easier when you remember the goals of scrapbooking: recording and preserving memories for yourself and future generations. Here are some ideas.
Life Milestones. Did you just graduate from college or high school, get married, have your first baby, or turn the big 4-0? Then put it in your scrapbook! The memories and emotions we feel on these important days are always worth recording and preserving.
Annual Celebrations. Every year we celebrate holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and more, so chronicle a year in your life.
Everyday Happenings. You can scrap the events that happen every day—the silly things your kids say, a night out on the town with girlfriends, your kids playing in the backyard, and more.
Extraordinary Events. Maybe you took a fun vacation, went skydiving for the first time, bought a new car, or watched your child perform in a school play. Collect pictures from those no-so-everyday events and make scrapbook pages about them.
Family History. Create an album about your family’s heritage, your growing-up years, or your special relatives.
