Creating Family Scrapbooks and Making Memories

Today, I’m sharing parenting advice on creating family scrapbooksBesides blogging, attending yard sales, antiquing, and gardening I love to scrapbook.  I have a fortune invested in pictures, so I decided to create memories by creating family scrapbooks.  Scrapbooks capture great memories, and they’re fun to put together.

Here are a few reasons for creating family scrapbooks:

  • There will be a physical memory family can look at without the need of electronics.
  • Scrapbooks tell a story.
  • Photography will also become a passion.
  • Kids love to look at themselves.
  • It’s a great way to relax.
  • Great hobby during cold, winter months.
  • Great activity to do with family and friends.
  • Can provide companionship by joining scrapbook clubs.
  • Scrapbooking is an opportunity to be creative.
  • Reduces your stress level.



These are scrapbook pages below were created from a Thunderbirds Air Force show.   My grandson was about 3 in these pictures.  We love pulling out this scrapbook to discuss and enjoy the pictures.  The gentleman holding him is his grandfather, who was serving in the Air National Guard.  It was family day, so the based was filled with service men and woman and their families.  There were planes to explore, pilots to talk to and the air show was magnificent. Searching for the perfect paper, stickers and other embellishments for the scrapbook is a blast.  It was a great day to remember, and I’m so happy that I preserved memories of our time in this scrapbook.

Furthermore, creating family scrapbooks Disney, visits to the pumpkin patch, my grandson’s football games, my granddaughter’s ballet recitals, vacations and more.  The possibilities are endless.  Personally, I believe that we should capture as many memories as possible in pictures.  Unfortunately, one day the pictures will be all that we have left of those memories with family and friends.

You can join scrapbook sites to get inspiration for layouts and techniques.  You may also like these digital scrapbook pages for Father’s Day.
