Difficulty:

Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Select the pictures and mementos you want to highlight in the scrapbook. Be sure to include family photos, both candid and professional, small memory trinkets, such as ticket stubs, notes and other memorabilia.

2. Organize the book into sections, one for family members, one for events, and a section for personalized notes and messages from each family member. These sections could be as few as two pages or span a third or more of the book, it is up to you.

3. Choose background paper and embellishments that showcase your mother and her likes and tastes. These extras should match and compliment your photographs, but should also reflect the mother.

4. Personalize with notes and journals. Let everyone contribute either a favorite story or memory. Have the younger children and grandchildren include their scribbles and pictures if they can't write in words. The favorite memories from each of the family members may spark lost or forgotten memories the mother may have.

5. Compile all of the pages in a special scrapbook. There are so many scrapbooks to choose from, so make sure that the cover represents the mother you are honoring. Some have room for family photographs to be inserted in the cover, while others have beautiful artwork. Keep this in mind, because the mother will probably want to display the book openly in her home.
