Want to keep all of your Christmas memories in one place? This easy scrapbook is a great way to do it!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Scrapbook paper, glue, and pens.
  • Scissors
  • A scrapbook - any size you'd like
  1. Step 1

    The best way to have a simple Christmas scrapbook is to make a two page spread for each year. Then you can add to each year and it doesn't become overwhelming.

  2. Step 2

    Start with the most recent Christmas. Choose five or six of your favorite pictures from that year. Use those pictures to bring back memories - special gifts, funny moments, the ages of your children.

  3. Step 3

    Crop your photos to focus on the best parts of the picture. You can mat them on solid colored backgrounds if you'd like. It can really make the pictures pop.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange the photos on your two page spread. When you like where they are, glue them down.

  5. Step 5

    Next, take those memories and journal them. You can type them out and print them, write them on separate paper or just write directly on your scrapbook pages.

  6. Step 6

    Finally, decorate your pages with Christmas themed stickers and trim pieces.

  7. Step 7

    Repeat for each year that you have photos for. With this set up, it will be easy to add to each year in the future as well. It will only take an hour or two once a year to keep your Christmas scrapbook updated!
