Scrapbooking Ideas - Foley,MN

You could put together a page called "Remember When" with that across the top in big letters, and then write out individual stories about times you have spent together on colored papers and lay them out, with the last one being "Remember When... you were the happiest I have ever seen you, preparing for your wedding day...."

Or something equally sentimental.

I like the idea of doing a letter or one special memory. It doesn't have to have pictures of her and you, you could use stickers that have to do with the memory. For example, you could write about a camping trip (I'm just making this up of course) and then use camping stickers or paper.

Another idea is to use a collage with things that remind you of her. Or do a name page where you write out her name down the side, and each letter stands for a word that describes her.

Good luck!

I would do a little Facebook Recon. I routinely take pictures from my friends and familys FB and make prints, either for myself or a scrapbook. Or it doesn't have to be pictures of her. Maybe you could put pictures of places you 2 have been together, like vacation photos. Or if you remember she loved raggedy ann, put a picture of a raggedy ann and a picture of her old bike if you can find the exact style online.
If you wanted to do advice, that one would fun too. Put stickers or cutouts of 50s style moms burning the meatloaf, attach a Girl Scouts cooking badge if yall were in scouts. Just try to mix a little of her and a little of you into the page. .
For Godparents page I would be more reverant and maybe put a picture of yalls church. Ask the girls mom if she has pictures from the christening or babtism. Print little bible verses to glue on, little praying hands, etc. and maybe leave a blank photo slot open for a future new baby to sort of signify the continuing of the traditon and faith passing it down to the next generation.

The first thing I thought of was family recipes you both liked when you were together Or can you remember what your favorites were?

I have not a creative bone in my body! but that is what I thought of at first.

You can both write her a letter
-your can be along the lines of the good times you two have shared, memories, how proud you are of her, how much you like her groom etc. If you guys have hung out together maybe you could paste on there the logos of the places. You could do a top ten list-like top ten reasons she will make a great wife. top ten reasons you love her.
-your mom's can be all of that too and maybe include some advice on marriage (if in fact your mom has had a good one)

You could put a poem or a story too.

Do you have any pictures of just her? You could do a picture of just her and then a picture of just you. That way it's still about you and her.
Just a thought.

I have heard of that idea, bringing a scrapbook page for the bride... but I thought it was a bad idea for EXACTLY the reason you state.

I think it's kind of careless to ask people to do this without considering that many people will not have anything to contribute, leaving them stressed or wondering what to do, and ultimately, possibly embarrassing people who can't produce this requested page.

What you might do, if you don't have any pictures of you *with* your cousin, is do a page of your family, include some quotes or well wishes by each of you that are decoratively printed, or write up little cards with brief descriptions of memories you have of times spent with your cousin, and include those on a page with your picture. Another idea, if you or your mom are married, would be to do a page of your weddings, and include some nice wedding quotes or sayings, leave a spot for her to put her wedding photo next to yours, etc. You could do a food page, and decorate it with food items and some cutely printed recipes. Or make a page dedicated to her new last name... use decorative capital letters down the left side of the page, and write something lovely that corresponds with each letter, perhaps a wish for the new couple, or a piece of advice beginning with that letter, or a time you shared that begins with that letter...

With any of those ideas, you could embellish the pages as much as you like, without having to use a ton of pictures... hope this helps.

Well, I just really hate the whole idea. Kinda goes against the notion of what scrapbooking is about to me. Not that I'm at all into it.....

Is the bride a scrapbooker? If so, I would give her some supplies to make a page commemorating the shower or some other event.

if the bride is not a scrapbooker, do everyone a favor and get something from her registry.

What about writing a beautiful letter showing your sentiments and then decorating the page around the letter? You could also ask other relatives for a family photo with all of you and write about how she will now be adding on to her family. I may come up with more, just give me time! ;)

What are your memories of her? Did you spend the night together in sleeping bags? sketch two girls in sleeping bags or get a pic of sleeping bags and write a short note about that memory. Did you have family picnics? Get scrapbooking pages, stickers etc of picnic stuff and wirite "remember the yearly family picnics? deviled eggs and potato salad and sack races!" or go to the beach or mountains together? celebrate Easter or Christmas together? It doesnt have to be a picture of you two, write about a memory and support it with themed paper, pictures, etc.
