Create Memories by Scrap Booking
by Cathy PulsiferWe have all taken hundreds of pictures of our children as they grow. When children become adults a great way to share the photos in a meaningful way is to create a scrapbook with these pictures and quotes.
I did this for my son when he turned 25 years old. I created a scrapbook over photos and quotes of his first 25 years.
I organized the photos by themes such as, Pictures with Santa, School Pictures, New Sister, New Vehicles, Special People in His Life
Along with each theme I added inspirational quotes. Quotes that seemed appropriate and fit the situation especially with my son. And quotes and sayings that hopefully sent a message to my son.
An example of some of the quotes are:
- Pictures of Santa:
If I could wish a wish for you, it would be for peace and happiness
not only now, but for the whole year through!"
C. Pulsifer
- New Sister
"Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there."
Amy Li
- New Vehicles
"The important things in life are not things."
Author Unknown
- Special People in Curtis' Life
"And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped make you the person that you are today."

There were many more themes used in the scrapbook. You will find as you sort your pictures themes will emerge. This gift is a simple, inexpensive, but thoughtful gift to give to your children. They will appreciate it for years to come, and, hopefully someday will share with their children.
Create memories and meaning with your scrap booking projects!
