Unique Album Ideas

Those are lovely ideas and keepsakes, tahnk-you for sharing!

This is a huge project. I did a 60 page 12 x 12 for my soon to be ex inlaws for their wedding anniversary last year. But I have also given all of the family for christmas hjust past an album with calendar pages in it showing anniversaries, birthdays and other special things. THere are photos of the kids on the opporite page, so it serves two purposes.

I am thinking about doing an old fashion scrapbook without pictures. I think I'll make the pages with stories of my children and the things they do. Maybe but in the little notes they give me, the sweet things they said or did for others things along that line. The other day my 7 yr. old daughter brought me a note that said I don't know what I'd do without you Mommy. I almost cried. I can't bear to throw it away hence the thought a "precious memories" scrapbook.

I have done a premade scrapbook for my friends wedding. She just had to add the photos. I did a small gift album for my mom. I've done circle journals with online friends. I've done cd albums and tag albums. I've also altered canvases and 12x12 to frame on the wall.

Those are great ideas! I am currently working out a mini album idea that I got from "Creative Keepsakes" it is like a how-to-take care of my daughter album. Her favorite story, bubble bath, just all the the little things I do for her that if something happened to me or someday when she is older people can look to.

Oh! I am also working on an album to give my husband for Valentine's Day. He is a minister, and I thought it would be neat to take all the old pictures of the churches he's worked in, the people he's worked with, and put it together in one place. Often, a man's work makes up a lot of his identity, and this is a really great way to make a home for all those pictures that don't quite fit in with the regular family-themed albums.

I love the wedding guest book idea, I'd had a version floating around in my head. Now, all I need is a wedding! I'm planning on doing a smaller (not sure what size exatly) album with all my senior pictures for my grandmother. She paid for all my pictures at a very nice studio, and there were tons of pictures taken. I think it will make for a great thank you gift, plus it will make an awesome brag book.

These ideas are so helpful! I'm just not sure when I'll have the time to use them all! I am thinking about doing a family tree album (or I've also heard them called "heritage albums") to organize and preserve all the old black and white photos my dad has collected in his geneology research. Many of them are great-great-great grandparents and I thought it would be neat to have these all arranged by family along with the geneology information we've collected on each of them. I'm sure, however, that this will be a very extensive album! Please let me know if you have any ideas!

I haven't started yet, but I'm planning on doing an ABC book for my 11 month old daughter. For instance, B is for blankie, P is for pacifier, etc!

I've done a few things, but nothing terribly creative. I always have tons of ideas, but not enough time to actually act on the ideas. One year I made a calander. I bought the template, and then for each month I scrapbooked the picture part. I tried to put the pictures with what month they would be best in. Like I had some pictures of some deceased pets, at a christmas and we had posed them with santa hats, so I scrapped them for the december page. The only thing I'd do differently, is I"d get a calander template attached with a spiral instead of staples, because my mom said the pages kept falling off from the weight of the pages! I also made an 8 x 8 album for a friends of her cat. There was a picture or two on each page, and it was an accordian album. Then there were facts about her cats personality, and facts about her cats breed on every page. I used cute embellishments i found that were cat related on each page. For Christmas last year, I did a 12 x 12 page of my grandma and her husband. I had a picture of them the year they got married, and wrote out their wedding date and year in sticky letters. I did some paper ripping, to make the page look fancy. Then I attached a tag with a brad, and wrote to Grandma, Christmas 2006 on the tag. I put it in a scrapbook page frame. She loved it, and started crying!!
