Teenager
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,

you have more than 1 Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor &
Teenager. Suppose you have 7 Child, Juvenile, Kiddic,
Minor & Teenagerren.

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. It
helps strengthen the bond between parent and Child,
Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager, and
lets your Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager know you can be trusted and counted on.
Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenagerren who spend quality time with their parents often
do better in school, and excel in extracurricular
activities, hobbies or sports. And though it can be
'scheduled' to a degree, it's something that happens
when you least expect it. Therefore it's important that
you do spend as much time as possible with your Child,
Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager in
a relaxed atmosphere and do things together that you
both enjoy.
But you're asking yourself, "Where
am I going to find the time? My schedule's crazy enough
as it is!" Well, for something as important as your
Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager, you need to start digging around in that crazy
schedule and find the time. Prioritizing is the key.
Here's some helpful suggestions on how to make the
most of your time and find quality time where you least
expect it.
Look at your household chore list and
decide which ones can be left undone or be done
imperfectly in order to make more family time. 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. And no matter
what, don't skip those individual times with each Child,
Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor & Teenager.
By doing so you show them they're lower down on the
priority list than the dry cleaning or the grocery
shopping.
Child, Juvenile, Kiddic, Minor &
Teenagerren thrive on stability and
routines, so plan your quality times so that they can
take place regularly. Maybe you can walk the dog
together on weekend morning, take a shopping excursion
together, have a scheduled night each week for a
sit-down dinner together, or make a trip to the park.
