Premade Scrapbook Pages

A birthday memory book is the ultimate milestone birthday gift. To take photos and memories and put them in a "This Is Your Life" book Birthday memories of a reflexive act of love that is immensely appreciated. But what if you are creative question? Does that mean you can not give this one of a class, personalized birthday gift to that special someone?

No,

1. Initial Plan. If you can make this a little at a time, without hurrying, will be less intimidating.

2. Collect all the photos of the birthday of the child that you can find, your family, friends, homes in which they lived, pets, etc. Then ask for help. Friends and relatives have photos that do not have. Ask them to send you. Or borrow their photos and scan or copy.

3. Take notes. Ask to everyone who helped with the photos to share memories of the birthday person. Go right to the source and interview the child's birthday. When we were working on a scrapbook for my father, I have to talk all the time about old age, without him ever suspecting that we were using that information to build this project.

4. Buy a notebook program for your computer, which is a simple way to convert a professional looking page. If friends and relatives are sending an e-mail you the pictures, the pictures will already be on your computer and all you have to do is "paste" into one of the templates and programs prepared. Then add your own words and print.

5. If you do not feel comfortable doing this on your computer, get a scrapbook kit birthday of a local craft store. This will contain all the coordinating papers and embellishments. Simply add the photos and a diary. Sure obtain the tail and feathers that are acid free, so it does not damage the photos over time.

6. Think small. Scrapbook albums are 6 x 6 or 8 x 8 inches is easier and faster to complete than the great books. You need less photos. And the sizes of its pages can be printed from any printer and cut to size. Most family printers will not print the more than 12 x 12 inches.

7. Use cookie cutters, tops jar, etc. to trace around and cut the photos in interesting ways. In some photos, cut around the bottom, so the only thing left is the birthday person.

8. One unique idea is to do a song like "40 best things about John (or Mary)" if he or she is turning 40 (or 50 great things, if he or she is turning 50, etc.) Ask your friends and family to email their lists, and combine them with their own thoughts. Give each person credit smaller letters after their contribution.

9. Add a "Then and Now" page, or with your favorite when I was younger and what he or she likes now. List things like favorite TV shows, movies, friends, food, pets, bands, songs, hobbies and interests.

10. Include a page titled "The year of birth. There are many great websites that contain information about everything that happened in the year birth. Some have a detailed list ranging from news, popular songs, the price of milk, and Oscar winners.

Keep it simple. Not have to find professionals. Remember when you were a child and cards for Mom and Dad. Those cards could not compete with Hallmark on the open market, but its parents who were priceless. Even if this scrapbook looks less than perfect, this is the kind of birthday gift that is guaranteed to touch the heart of the receiver. Give a hand book of birthdays and memories will be cherished forever.
