Summer Camp
-
Help a child create a scrapbook with pages that feature his experiences at summer camp. Whether it's an "away" camp out of town or a local day camp, mount photos of campers, counselors, activities and events on papers printed with camping images and words. Attach them using acid-free tape runners, an acid-free glue stick or a liquid adhesive. Photo corners can be used as well for easy removal and replacement.
Enhance the photos with themed borders and attach stickers, cut-outs and other decorative embellishments. Place letters, notes, receipts, tickets or other memorabilia from camp with double-sided tape in the scrapbook in a large envelope on one of the pages. Have one page as an autograph page for a collection of notes written by camp buddies and counselors.
Cruise
-
Create scrapbook pages to remember a wonderful cruise. Mount photos taken of the ship, new friends, port stops and land tours as well as post cards, brochures, notes and other memorabilia from the trip. Add a comments section on a scrapbook page with daily journaling notes, passenger notes, staff autographs and descriptions of events and activities to remember and enjoy. Attach photos and embellishments with acid-free tape runners, an acid-free glue stick or a liquid adhesive. Photo corners work well if you want to remove photos later.
Enhance the pages with decorative paper borders and machine-cut dimensional images made with heavy scrapbook or textured paper. Use rubber stamps and colored inks to add words and phrases such as "Cruising along," "Explore" or "On an adventure."

Wedding
-
Celebrate attendance at the wedding of a good friend or family member by creating memorable scrapbook pages. Include photos of the venue, the ceremony and the reception as well as shots of guests. Mount them on wedding-themed papers and decorative borders.
Have sections on the pages for comments written about the event and by guests. Add the invitation and any other paper souvenirs from the wedding, such as a napkin, place card, printed menu or program.
Baby Shower
-
Make a memory book with pages that commemorate a baby shower. Place photos on scrapbook papers with a baby theme that is either gender neutral or specific. Add pretty borders with images such as baby bottles, safety pins, strollers and babies. Attach them using acid-free tape runners, an acid-free glue stick or a liquid adhesive.
Enhance the pages with stickers or peel-and-stick cut-outs. Use dabs of hot glue to add embellishments like plastic buttons and charms. Double-sided tape can be used to attach the baby shower invitation, a list of guests, a party menu or refreshments served, games played, favors given and gifts received by the mother-to-be.
