A Mini Memory Scrapbook for Kids

My kids love to look at photos… photos of themselves that they ask me to take on my phone, vacation photos, family photo albums. They love it all. I decided to take our family photo album game up a notch after a recent weekend trip to Madison, WI. I took our favorite vacation photos and made a mini scrapbook for my daughter to decorate and customize however she wanted.

Fold the stack of cardstock and paper in half. Then staple along the crease to form the book’s seam.

Using a rubber stamp or marker, give the cover of the mini scrapbook a title.  I used rubber stamps to spell out “my memories” for my daughter’s vacation photos.
