Its Time to Scrapbook This Year's Memories

By Brandon Clark


As the New Year approaches, the time has come enshrine the important events of the year in a scrapbook

All of us have had our happy moments in life. What most don't realize is that those moments are meant to be remembered and not just enjoyed for an instant. Their memory can always inspire us later on in life and give us the determination and courage to persist in our goals. And there is no better way to preserve the moments than by creating a scrapbooking diary for them. This diary should be started now that the year is about to end. You will be caught up with so many new things to do in the next year to be able to attend to that then. So collect all your best and important photos, get clippings from newspapers and arrange them in a nice way in your scrapbooking project. Did you just win the community pie-baking event? Did your daughter just have her debut last week? Or was your son drafted into the NFA? Whatever moments you have to be proud of and glad for deserve to be immortalized in the pages of a scrapbook.

Even if you already have a photo album, scrapbooking is still a better way to remember events

You can, of course, keep all your photos in a photo album. But you won't be able to do to much to put in the circumstances surrounding each photo, the special details that made those moments memorable. You can do a lot more in this regard with scrapbooking projects. Photo albums are just photo albums. Scrapbooks can be made into windows opening into a happy moment of your life. You could put the photo of your first ferris wheel ride or a photo of your high school graduation or your debut in your scrapbook. Besides just the photo, you could insert any greeting cards and messages that you received in connection with the event you are commemorating. And then you can decorate the pages of your scrapbook with scrapbooking stickers. You can find these in all shapes and colors, depicting different images. You will find many which can effectively enhance each page in your scrapbook.

There are lots of bright ideas you can get from scrapbooking stickers

If you are not feeling very creative, drop in to websites dedicated to scrapbooking ideas and turn on the little light bulb of bright ideas in your head. You can find themed stickers, such as the ones they have for the New Year. Or you may just want to liven up the pages of your scrapbooking project with smileys and little kittens. There are also border stickers with which you can frame odd shaped photos than you snipped out of newspaper clippings.

If your scrapbooking page is devoted to something really special, you might want to use glittery letter stickers which come in many interesting colors. You can even start a scrapbooking project telling old fairy tales that you used to love so that your children or nephews can read them. Scrapbooking is a hobby for which you can never run out of ideas. Why would you when you have got all those wonderful stickers on the internet?
