Gather your scrapbooking supplies and small family photos. As desired, order wallet size prints of the photos you want to include in the book so that the pictures, when cropped, will fit nicely on a 2-inch by 2-inch scrapbook paper.

Pick up your scissors or paper cutter to cut out of the heavy card stock a front cover and a back cover for your memory book. Use the ruler and a pencil, if needed, to measure two inches across and two inches wide for each cover. Use the hole punch to create two holes along the left-hand side on both the front and back covers.

Use your cutting utensil to cut a few 2-inch by 4-inch pieces out of regular scrapbook paper. Fold each scrapbook piece in half to create 2-inch by 2-inch papers that are double-sided. With the fold on the right-hand side, insert two holes with the hole punch on the left-hand side matching the holes you made in the front and back covers.

Tape your photos onto the pages you have cropped and hole-punched. Add any stickers, frames and other scrapbooking embellishments you want featured in your memory book. Decorate the cover with photos and graphics, as desired.

Assemble the book by ordering your pages in between the front and back cover. Insert one binder clip through each hole, and your memory book is finished.
