If you are making a Christmas-themed scrapbook, here is some inspiration for the theme, ‘Christmas throughout the years’. A perfect gift for family members.
You can start chronologically with the earliest Christmas pictures at the beginning, leaving room at the last few pages so you can include pictures for the Christmases to come, creating a perfect Christmas memory book.
Christmas gift tags are a perfect way to have your annotated messages in the scrapbook while keeping it festive!
Christmas cards make for perfect backgrounds for your pages, or just smaller card facings to make the book more colourful.
These creative books are an affordable and fun way to make presents for your loved ones during the holidays, but they don’t have to be Christmas themed!
Your scrapbook can have any theme that you want or feel the recipient would like. To make it more personal you can make the theme inspired by other memories, for example:
If your gift recipient and you shared a trip, create a travel inspired scrap book!
You could include things like boarding passes/train tickets from previous trips for more memories.
Again, you can always leave space for future trips you hope to share together. This is a great present alone, or to include if you have got a trip away as a main present!
Whatever your scrap book theme, these gifts show that thought and time have gone into a gift which makes it so much more special and meaningful. Get the creative hat on and get scrapbooking for the holidays!
