You could add cut-outs of magazine photos you liked, family photos, art, news events.

Some people kept scrapbooks like they were a diary and they would try to add something everyday with a short write up of what happened that day or even a small page of the days events, and at the top of the page sketch or draw the date/year and so on.

I have read many biographies and stories of how people went back home and found their childhood scrapbooks and while reading through them were heart-touched by all the memories of their childhood, family and friends, and the activities that they got up to as well as the groups and clubs that they were a part of.

Clever school teachers would start the children on a scrapbook on a theme that the class was working on and each day new things were added along with images, writings and such. This was handy for the children as they got to have much fun, be creative and learn all at the same time.

Today you can go to a store and buy all sorts of stickers and such, stick them in the book, and ift is all perfect, but not so personal. I personally preferred the old approach as it was more exciting and fun to do.

A scrapbook could be about your life, your holiday, your year, even one day your birthday.

A wedding, yours or someone else’s, could be recorded in a scrapbook and maybe given to the bride and groom on their anniversary.
