If you’re especially crafty, you can always create a scrapbook journal yourself that is especially unique. Simply find a photo album at your local craft store, and cover it with your favorite fabric. You can also use markers to draw fancy letters on the cover, and you can use feathers or pearls for a border. If you are creating the scrapbook for your child, you can place a baby picture of him or her on the cover, and decorate the rest of the cover with different fun pictures that depict your child’s personality.
If you can’t find the exact journal that you want, you can add a few pieces of your favorite notebook paper and place a few sheets in between the sheets that will be used for pictures. You can use the notebook pages to describe the pictures, and to record your feelings and thoughts about the events surrounding each photo in your scrapbook journal.
