Teenagers are in the time of their life where transition from childhood to adulthood occurs. Despite the challenges and difficulties, this is a very exciting phase. From our first real crush to first dance in a prom, all these wonderful memories can be documented using a scrapbook. Here are some tips and ideas:
Designing your scrapbook
When designing your scrapbook, remember that it should represent your personality. It should be personal. Like a diary, it should best describe you and what's been going on in your life. Be sure to add some personal touch by making small notes about the events or any of the pictures you include in the scrapbook. You can make a journal out of it, or simply make it a photo diary, wherein each picture leads to some of the memorable events in your life. Remember that scrapbooking is all about you. Don't be afraid to experiment and try new designs that you think fits the theme of your photo diary.
Photos and notes to include in your scrapbook
There are a lot of photos you can include in your scrapbook, but for teens, among the most memorable are their prom nights, club and sports activities, parties with friends, and their old looks, from chubby cheeks to highly defined cheek bones when they blossomed into turning 18. To add some personal touch, it's best to make small notes about the pictures to describe the event or share any personal thoughts you have. The notes can be placed under each picture, or you can have a separate page for your mini-journal.
Scrapbooking for teens is a healthy activity. It helps them express themselves and their creativity. A scrapbook holds all the memorable events in our lives.
