Scrapbooking can be a delightful way to corral those family photos and memories into an exciting book. Scrapbooking can be relaxing for you as you do it, and a pleasure as you share it.

Books and articles on scrapbooking for 1 Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager abound, but suppose you have more than 1 Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager. Suppose you have 7 Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenagerren. Then you need a book or article on how to scrapbook for more than 1 Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager.

You Have Scrapbooking Options

Those who want to scrapbook for more than 1 Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager have several exciting options.

1. Make a full-blown scrapbook for each. If you have many photos and memories to preserve, this allows the most space for each Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager. Your scrapbooking will require more time and money, but will be a labor of love.

The book’s theme will focus on that one Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager. Place his or her photo and name on the front, and theme every scrapbooking page to that Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager’s life.

You will use family photos, of course, to show the place the Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager held in family activities. But you will want pages that focus solely on that Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager: baby “firsts”; first year of school; favorite hobbies; favorite toys; dreams; birthdays; awards; graduation; etc. If a photo shows two of the Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenagerren together, focus your journaling on that one Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager’s part in the photo. How did the world look from his eyes or her eyes? Our memories are always, I have found, as seen through our eyes. Do mention the second Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager, but spotlight the first.

As each Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager becomes able, he or she can help add new pages to his or her scrapbook. Scrapbooking can be a time of bonding and love that will long be remembered.

When they leave home as young adults, they can take their individual scrapbooks with them. As they mature, they will come to realize what it meant in time, effort, and cost for you to provide these treasured scrapbooking memories.

2. Make a mini scrapbook for each. If you have fewer photos, want to be more selective, or simply have very little time for scrapbooking, a mini scrapbook will still provide individual, tangible memories that can be carried into adult life.

Select just one theme for each double-page spread, with one or two photos on each. Tie the photos together with your theme, mounting them on the same color of torn paper or using identical frames.
Mini scrapbooking will not allow for as many family or sibling photos, but remember that this is a book about one Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager. When you make a mini scrapbook for each Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager, you can rest assured that each will get full attention. There will be no “left-out” feelings.

A mini scrapbook can be no larger than 6” x 6”. Or it can be half the size of a standard letter: 5.5” x 8.5”. You can read details about how to make your own mini scrapbooks in my article entitled, “How to do Mini Scrapbooks”.

Digital mini scrapbooks would be interesting for Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenagerren, since they live in a computerized world. Digital mini scrapbooks can be less expensive to make, and people who are comfortable with one of the computer graphics programs, such as “Adobe PhotoShop”, will be able to apply interesting effects that are not possible with conventional scrapbooking.

3. Make a family scrapbook for each. A third way to scrapbook for more than one Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager is to make a family scrapbook for each. Less attention will be paid to individual Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenagerren, in such a book, and focus placed on the entire family unit.

Your scrapbooking theme is your entire family, including every family member. Place the family name on the cover, and a nice family photo, if you wish. On the title page, write a note about the family as a whole.

Scrapbooking a single volume of memories will call for both family memories and individual memories. Theme your pages to focus on high lights of family life. Begin with Dad and Mom – the wedding, especially. You will still have a scrapbooking page for each Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager’s birth, but there will probably be insufficient space for every “first” of every Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager. Try to include true highlights of each Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager’s life. Include amusing times as well as those that were less pleasant. Include school events; sports; musical interests; birthdays; awards, graduations, and family pets.

You may still want to include your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenagerren’s scrapbooking efforts as they become old enough to take part in the process. Scrapbooking family memories will give opportunity to discuss those memories, and solidify them in each one’s mind.

When each Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager leaves home, for college attendance, to marry, etc., make a copy of the book as it is at that time, and present it as a going-away gift. Office supply stores or copy centers can copy each page in color on heavy paper or cardstock, and bind them with s durable spiral binding. Covers can be copied in color or black and white on cover stock.

Your scrapbooking gifts will vary for each Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager, according to when they leave home, but personal family memories of their time at home will be preserved.

4. Make a Perpetual Digital Scrapbook. If you want to scrapbook for more than 1 Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager with the least time involvement, you may want to consider a perpetual digital scrapbook.

Digital scrapbooking may contain hundreds, or even thousands, of pages, and yet take up no more space than a small computer CD. Digital scrapbooks allow you to add pages, even when the family is grown and dispersed.

Digital scrapbooks need never be printed. You can include individual pages of every Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager’s “firsts” as well as all of your family photos. Throughout life, you can continue to make pages. As each is completed, simply attach it to e-mail and send it to every family member. They can add each page to their scrapbooking CD, and continue the family album.

TIP: A digital scrapbook on a CD in a bank safe deposit box is the safest way to store your family memories. Your digital scrapbook will be safe from fire, floods, and other disasters.

 

Make Quality Time with your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager Count

In today's busy world, work, household chores and social activities all put a strain on your time with your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager. But as you well know, it's imperative that you spend quality time together.

You might also want to consider leaving certain things until after your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager has gone to bed to make the most of your time together.

Turn some of your everyday routines together count. Sing some favorite silly songs on the way to daycare, or make that drive to and from school a great opportunity to discuss what's happening in your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager's life.

If you have more than one Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager, realize that each of them needs your individual attention. You may really have to juggle things around to make this happen, but try to be flexible and creative when spending time with each of your kids.
