Now comes the exciting part- what to include! Since all scrapbooks are as unique as the adventures they hold, this is where you get to let your creativity and imagination shine. To get you started, here are some of our favourite ideas:
• Create an introduction. In the beginning of your scrapbook, create a page that introduces yourself. Some facts to include could be your name, age, favourite things and a self-portrait.
• Give space to special events. Whether a picnic in the park or a day building sandcastles on the beach, make sure to dedicate a page to each special adventure, including your favourite photos and write what you loved most about the memory.
