Scrapbooking Themes

Like with most holidays, these days become a great time to capture some holiday snapshots and put together a scrapbook to showcase your favorite memories. With the holiday of Easter, look forward to capturing pictures of the young ones with their Easter dresses and bonnets, fun times at the egg hunt, poses with the Easter bunny and more. Plus, this holiday allows you to scrapbook with pretty pastels and bunny, chicks and spring flower embellishments.

Not a child’s first Easter? Collect pictures from past Easters and create a collage of pictures throughout the years.

Remember the “firsts” of this holiday. Those can be the first picture with the Easter bunny, the first egg hunt or his or her first Easter basket.

For many, Easter is about the religious significance rather than the materialistic things. Focus on your faith on your scrapbook pages. There may be things that are part of your life that are symbolic and journaling about these experiences in an Easter scrapbooking is another technique to consider.

Creating a single scrapbook for Easter or including a few Easter pages to your Holiday scrapbook is a great way to cherish your pictures and to celebrate each of the holidays. Easter will be here before you know it, so make sure you have your camera ready and brainstorm some Easter related page layouts.

Sometimes all you need is a little mystery to pull off a grand surprise that your sweetie will remember for years to come. This Valentine’s Day, instead of opting for the traditional flowers and candy, why not create something extra special (and extra romantic) instead? Send your girl or guy on a treasure hunt they’ll never forget by making them a romantic scrapbook using the Scrapbooks and supplies from MemoryScrapbooks.com!

To make this plan work, all you need are some pictures, a bit of cleverness, and creativity. First, start out with an empty scrapbook. Fill it up with pages that capture special memories that you and your special someone have shared over the years. Every few pages, make up a clue page that will lead them to a greater treasure (you decide what!). Throughout the scrapbook, take pictures of clues and paste them in, or create some interesting clues of your own! Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, include a homemade treasure map that incorporates trivia about your relationship. The possibilities are endless!

Just remember to have some fun this Valentine’s Day and share in the excitement of solving a riddle of romance – the best Valentine’s Day present of all!

Whether you’re a boy or girl, everyone loves their mom. Who do most sports stars say “Hi!” to when they win a big game – Mom! So it shouldn’t be hard to think of the best person to celebrate with a Scrapbook!

Moms are the people who take care of your every need. While Dad’s tend to take care of teaching their children how to ride bicycles and fix things around the house, Moms are busy with making the most of tender moments. They kiss boo-boos away, make chicken soup when you’re sick, and send the care packages when you’re away at college.

Simple ways to show your thanks are just by making sure you tell them how important they are. Thank Mom for everything she does for you, and be sure to thank her for just being a good mom. She’ll appreciate it! Little things like helping out around the house without being asked really do make all the difference to the hard, often overlooked, work of a Mom!

One great gift to give your mom is a Scrapbook celebrating her as an important influence in your life. You should include photos from great times in yours and her life, and any awards or noteworthy newspaper articles credited to them. This is a very easy task to complete once you gather enough materials. And it helps you organize all those odds and ends into something beautiful!

Start now and you can easily have your scrapbook completed by Mother’s Day!

Measuring a year isn’t just about the amount of bills you paid and the age that you turned. This January, ring in the New Year with a sense of reflection and renewal. Look back on this year’s trials and triumphs and use this information to make yourself better prepared for the twelve months that lie ahead. It has often been said that history repeats itself – do you want to have another fantastic year?

This form of self-evaluation can prove to be a great motivator as you begin this new chapter. Also, it can help you meet new goals or even keep your resolution. A new year starts off with a clean slate, but you have to read what you’ve already written before it’s time to erase it.

One way to do this is to talk to your family and friends. Hold a New Years Reflection Event at your home where you and your loved ones can gather together, share stories and memories, and reflect on the coming year. Pass out notebooks or pieces of paper to your guests so they can take notes or write down their thoughts.

Another great way is to make a Yearly Scrapbook. Fill it with photographs, notes, to-do lists that you’ve accomplished, or other keepsakes that can help you remember how eventful and enlightening your year was. Be sure to leave a bit of room for a journal response too!

Even though it may seem far off, it’s never too early to start planning for the prom! Like a wedding, this formal event involves a lot of work and a lot of research. Before you can even begin shopping and making appointments, you have to look into the things that you’re going to need to make the evening just perfect.

As prom planning committees start to meet, pay attention to the kinds of themes that come up. Once a theme is chosen, you can start planning how you’ll incorporate yourself into this magical night – but don’t forget to plan how you’ll remember it!

Prom scrapbooks are a fun and beautiful way to capture this special occasion, making for a memory that is as fresh and vibrant as that magical night. Whether it’s elegantly displayed in a Leather Album or creatively crafted into a Designer Scrapbook, your prom night can be something that you can always look back on! Plus, it’s not just about the photos. In your prom scrapbook, you can also add in pressed flowers from your corsage, your program or place card, a note your friend passed you under the table, your tickets, or even a piece of fabric from your dress! No matter how you choose to fill it, just make sure that it’s something that reflects how stunning you looked.

So while you look at a few dress options, take a look at some of these great Prom Scrapbooks from MemoryScrapbooks.com!
