Ideas for a photo album / scrapbook for someone who just died?

My uncle has just died leaving three young children, and not the mother. The family wants to make a scrapbook of photos little we have of him and them … We have some ideas! Is there any place that sells something that can make us start? We do not want just a plain old photo album. Any website with photos? Explanations? Please take your time on this, they really need help and I'm not finding much …. Thank you! The children are 12, 6 and 5 ….. We want this to mean something when they get older, but still appeal to them.

Sorry about your uncle. You are doing something so special! I have some ideas to share. There are tons of albums available on the craft store or shop scrapbook in your area. You can also order some online that can be customized. In reality, the sky is the limit. There are different sizes for these too …. 8 1 / 2 x 11, 12 x 12 and several other sizes. You need to decide on the size you want. (I like Creative scrapbooking, but you must apply for a consultant as they are a direct sales company. Check out www.creativememories.com for a consultant near you. If you receive a "good" consultant, may offer classes or laying assist you with your book.) For ease, I would do a page as my lord and make all other similar pages. This will help to complete as quickly and flow very well when finished. There are many, many ways to make a book. You can take classes at the craft store, buy a book with sample designs or surf the Internet for designs. Here are some tips for getting started: "First, gather as many photos as you can. Check with some of friends and family for pictures as you never know who has what photo-Sort the pictures into groups and begin to make the sections desee.-Make lists of what his uncle liked, disliked, hobbies, cars that had lived at home, the friends' names, last names, workplaces, etc.. You can make pages This sort of thing. No pictures needed, but can still capture the memory-writing abajo. family members have written their special memories of his uncle. These could include, with or without images. Make sure your nieces include all your special memories, "includes a page on your date of birth and name as well. When I was in school and stuff. You basically want to make history of his LIFE. "Try to get copies of your birth certificate and marriage certificate. You may photocopy to include these so as not to prejudice the original. Remember, you can make the pages of a newspaper and only "lists" and you do not have to have a picture on he. You can find all different kinds of embellishments (stickers, cutouts, etc.) for many items also ship / store scrapbook. When done, you can copy the picture pages in the store and make a copy for each niece if you want each have a copy. There is another option and that is to make a photo book. You do this online at sites such as www.shutterfly.com, www.photoworks.com, www.snapfish.com, so send your pictures and any text you want to include. The books comes just as a book, all united and all that. Very professional looking. Just an idea. Good luck! I hope I have helped some. Have fun and enjoy the memories.
