Use a Notebook, Computer or Google Docs
I suggest that you start a notebook if you are writing by hand as it will help keep all your stories together so they don't get lost. If journaling on the computer make sure you back up your stories once you start recording them. If you have a Google account you might consider using Google Docs for easy online access across devices and to other services like Google Photos and Google Drive.

Group Similar Stories Together and Envisage the Journaling on Your Layout
Grouping stories about people, places or activities can be helpful in writing about your early life. For instance if you were to write about the places you lived growing up think about how your might group these in your scrapbook memory book layout. Would you need a page for each story about a place or would you envisage putting all your photos on a two page spread and journaling around these?

Scrapbook Your Childhood Memories in a Memory Album

In today's scrapbooking tutorial I discuss how to scrapbook your childhood memories in a memory album or memory book. This is an overview of what you will need to consider to create scrapbooking pages about your early life and your family story. Along the way I give you lots of tips about journaling, photos and documenting your life.

How to Scrapbook Your Childhood Memories in a Memory Album Project - Get creative and start journaling to preserve your precious memories. Your family will appreciate knowing your life story

Scrapbooking your childhood memories can be very powerful. Writing things down and looking at old photos is a trigger for many memories to come flooding back. How easy these memories can get lost in the busyness of our lives. Why not capture them in a childhood memory album and preserve those memories for yourself and future generations to enjoy?
How to Scrapbook Your Childhood Memories in a Memory Album - You need photos, write some journaling notes, scrapbooking supplies and an album to start preserving memories

Also consider scrapbooking past generations if you have some family photos you want to preserve. Documenting your family history is engaging and rewarding process and it is amazing what family secrets you might uncover. Remember you are an invaluable resource of the past and it pays to get these memories recorded for prosterity before they are lost. If you want to start a family history project I suggest you start on recording your childhood first and then move on to family history as a separate project.
Preserve old photos and memories by scrapbooking your childhood memories in a memory album

Getting Started

  1. Choose a 12x12 album or 8x8 inches for this project. Chances are you have lots of pictures you want to include and a smaller album will limit your photo choices too much.

    Physical Scrapbook vs Digital Scrapbook
    The assumption is that you will be making a physical scrapbook but of course you could decide to make a digital one instead. Or even better why not do both? Whatever format you choose you will need to decide on a standard size of your pages as a starting point.
    Choose a large size scrapbooking album typically 12x12 to scrapbook your childhood memories

    Black, White or Brown Pages
    Do you want black pages, white ones or maybe even natural looking brown ones? Black and white photos can look particularly good on black.

    Choose Acid Free Album and Pages
    Make sure whatever album and pages you choose they are acid free and of archival quality. Also the same goes for any pens and rubber stamping you use - the ink needs to be fade resistant and of archival quality.

  2. Gather scrapbooking supplies together like cardstock and paper, embellishments, stickers, frames, brads, washi tape, tags etc. Some of these you may need to purchase if you have not done a lot of scrapbooking before. If you are completely new to keeping a scrapbook you might want to consider taking a class. A good place to start would be to ask at a scrapbooking store near you.
    Gather scrapbooking supplies together and buy what you need to get started on your project - paper, cardstock, embellishments, stickers, washi tape, scissors, tags etc

    Other scrapbooking supplies you will need are scrapbooking tools like pens, markers, ruler, scissors, double-sided tape or glue sticks, a cutter, cutting mat etc.

    You don't necessarily need to own all these items as you may be able to borrow these short-term from a fellow scrapbooker. If you do decide to buy scrapbooking supplies remember it is an investment in keeping memories alive for future generations and therefore worth the expense.

  3. Create a timeline and place the most significant events of your life on it. Collect key photos that match various early life events and experiences. Very likely you will be presenting your album chronologically but consider other ways to catalogue your memories such as themes. I have seen some wonderful albums created using themes such as my school, my friends, family vacations, our house etc.
  4. Create a Timeline of the Most Significant Events in Your Life Growing Up and make sure you scrapbook these

  5. Keep a notebook and take time to jot down memories as they come to you. What stories do others tell about you? Did you have favorite ones as a child? You may need to ask other family members for their thoughts and ideas.
    Keep a notebook to record childhood memories as they occur to you. Use photos and momentos as prompts for your journaling

    Take the Time to Write Down Important Childhood and Family Memories
    Just make a start documenting in your notebook. It doesn't have to be perfect. Just get the memory down in the first instance. You can perfect the composition of it later if you think you need to. I encourage you to just write and don't filter too much. Often memories written this way have a way of sounding more authentic and heartfelt.

    Once you get started writing down your early history and and what was happening in your family you'll be surprised about how much comes back to you. Give this project some thought and the time it deserves after all you are investing in you. Use your photos as memory joggers. Concentrate on the remembering the 5 Ws: when, where, what, who and why.

  6. Assemble photos, momentos and emphemera from Your Childhood
    While you are bringing together all your photos, momentos and emphemera from the past it is a good idea to store these in one place as you find them. Special storage boxes can be purchased that are achival safe for keeping old photos and other memorabilia for extended periods.
    Old shoe boxes are not good ways to store old photos as they risk degrading the photos

    Store Your Photos and Momentos Safely
    If you are using an old shoe box or chocolate box don't leave your precious photos in there too long as the paper will degrade over time. Be sure to store all your precious momentos in a dry place as mould is a killer. If you have photos in old plastic albums consider shifting these as you work on your family history project as gums and residues can be harmful to old photos.
    Store your photos safely while you are bringing them together to scrapbook. Consider investing in a photo safe archival box to store photos and momentos of your life

    Types of Emphemera to Use of Scrapbooking Layouts
    Ticket stubs old programmes, cards, brochures, pamphlets, maps etc are all the types of emphemera that can be used in layouts but also they are invaluable sources of information about when an event occurred. By looking over any keepsake you have kept of that time you are likely to remember more.

    Document the Everyday Not Just the Big Events
    Remember that scrapbooking isn't just about scrapping the big events, its magic is as much about capturing the everyday too. So much is changing that within a couple of generations everyday life can be very different. Your stories represent an invaluable history and a snapshot of your life story. Other people especially future generations will be interested in what you have recorded.

  7. Journaling tips to get you thinking about your childhood
    Think about some snapshot moments and describe some of these in detail. What stands out to you about growing up? What are some of your most sacred memories about your childhood? What were some of the everyday things you did? Paint a picture in words of what it was like for you.

    Compare and Contrast
    Comparing and contrasting is a good technique to use in scrapbook pages and memory journals about childhood memories. How is what you did back then different from today? Was it better or worse and why?

    Who Was Important to You? Who Influenced You?
    Think people. Who were the most influential people in your life and why were they important to you? Usually these people vary depending on ages and stages but there might be several people who have been stalwarts in your life all along. What do you value most about these relationships with others?

    Add Sentiment Not Just Facts
    Don't be afraid to talk about the feelings you have about your life experiences. What has happened to you has shaped who you are today. Let others know about what has challenged you too. What achievements are you proud of. What would you do differently if you could do it all over again.

  8. Journaling Prompts to Help You Write Stories, Sketches and Snippets from Your Childhood
    Scrapbooking is about a cohesive mix of photos, journaling and embellishments. Your journaling is a key element in presenting your own history or your family's history. Try not to focus too much on how something looks on the page at the expense of telling the story.

    Here are some journaling prompts to use as starters in scrapbooking childhood memories:

    Your earliest memory, your house(s), your room, holidays and vacations, schools, neighbours, family members, friends, favourite hobbies and pasttimes, achievements, clubs, sports, memorable people, favourite foods, favourite songs, favourite toys and belongings, favourite clothes.

  10. Bringing your childhood memories together on the page
    Once you have thought about journaling, picked out some photos on the same theme and have borrowed or purchased your scrapbooking supplies it's time to start putting these altogether in layouts.

    Consider the Mood You Want to Create
    Think about the overall theme of the photos and what mood you want to convey eg whimsical, retro etc. Select cardstock and papers that match your theme and the colors in your photos.

    Avoid Overusing Embellishments
    Choose your embellishments carefully. Usually 3-5 embellishments per page is ample. The job of embellishments is to enhance your photos and journaling not detract from them. As a rule of thumb simple is best.

    Consider doing a Dummy Run to Boost Your Confidence
    If you find it hard to get started perhaps because you lack confidence or are relatively new to scrapbooking then my advice is to just start somewhere and trust the process. If you are really unsure consider doing some practice runs by making a few mockup pages using photocopies or copies of your precious photos and keepsakes. This will help you to get a feel for how you like elements arranged on a page and give you rein to let your own personality and style come through.

    Photo Scan and Collage Apps
    Photo Scan is an example of one app for mobile that can be very useful in taking scans of your old photos so that you can print them out at a photo booth or order photos online.
    Photo Scan is a a useful app for scanning old photos to use in scrapbooking childhood memories albums

    Collages can be a way of getting more photos on the page. There are plenty of photo editing and collage apps available to help you to make the most of displaying your photos effectively and attractively. The LiPix app is simple but useful app available for both Apple and Android users for creating collages for scrapbooking photos as you can set popular photo sizes and it offers a nice range of frames where you can add up to 9 photos in one frame.
    LiPix is a free collage app useful for scrapbooking and available in IOS and Android

    Extra Journaling Solutions
    If you find you need to do extra journaling consider adding a pocket to the page or adding an insert that gives you freedom to write more. There are some clever ways to get more journaling on the page such as attaching a photo with washi tape on one side only which can conceal extra journaling underneath.

    Extra Emphemera and Momentos
    If you have more emphemera than you can fit on your pages try adding a large pocket to the front or back cover of your album to store additional items or memorabilia that is too large to fit on your memory layout. Pockets on the pages are also useful if you don't have the room to display all your momentos.

    Allow Yourself to Make Mistakes - Perfection isn't the Goal
    Most importantly have fun with your scrapbooking childhood memories layouts. They do not have to be perfect. Remember it is the story they tell which is much more important.

    You will make mistakes and that is part of the process of scrapbooking. Give yourself permission to make mistakes right now or you run the risk of not starting or getting stalled in the process.


  11. Start a childhood memory scrapbook today and capture memories of the past to preserve for future generations

10 Ways to Add Handwritten Journaling to Scrapbooking Pages

Today's scrapbooking article is on the subject of scrapbook journaling. Here are some 10 creative ways to include more handwritten journaling on your scrapbooking pages.

Getting Started with Scrapbook Journaling

  1. Get Over Yourself

    In order to get started with handwritten scrapbook journaling you will need to get over yourself. Most people feel a little self-conscious seeing their own handwriting on page layouts. Perfectly normal!

    I myself used to have a lot of angst about my poor handwriting skills but I have learned through the art of scrapbooking and keeping a memory journal to keep the bigger picture in mind.

    When I look back on my past scrapbooks and journals it is not the perfectly typed journaling that my eye gravitates to but the blocks of handwritten journaling where I have taken the time to write something that reminds me of a feeling back then or gives others insight into my life and who I am as a person.

    Here's the thing stop worrying if your handwriting is untidy or a bit messy what is important is that you tell a story or write something about you and your experience. Don't be afraid to let your personality shine through with some handwritten touches to your scrapbooking layouts.
    Scrapbook Journaling Using Your Own Handwriting makes what you share more personal

    The thing to keep in mind is that handwritten journaling gives such a personal flair to pages that it would be a shame for future generations looking at your scrapbooking pages to miss out on this unspoken legacy. Rest assured they will treasure your handwriting just as much as your photos and memories you share.

  2. Gather Your Supplies

    Archival Quality Journaling Pens

    First off will need a food journaling pen. Don't skimp on this as you need one of archival quality. These can be purchased at scrapbooking stores, good stationery supplies shops or online at Amazon.

    I like to have a range of scrapbooking pens to work with including white for layouts with black pages or inserts. Exactly what pens you choose will be down to personal preference but give yourself some options.

    Other Essential Supplies

    A stapler, adhesive, ruler, eraser are all going to be useful items too.

  3. Choose a Layout to Work On

    Start Small

    Pick a page that is simple and that you can add some of your own handwriting to, even in a small way, to make a difference.

    Decide What to Say

    Think about the experience. What do you want to say about it? what do you want to convey to anyone looking at the page? If you need inspiration take a look at 85+ Journaling Ideas for Scrapbooking Memory Pages.

    Practice Your Handwriting Skills

    Practice your handwriting on a scrap of paper first to improve your confidence before writing on the actual page. You will see what it looks like ahead of time so you can correct any mistakes. Plus you can check the text properly fits the space where you want to include your handwritten message.
    Scrapbook Journaling practice your handwriting on a scrap of paper first to improve your confidence before commiting to the final page



While this scrapbooking article is written with scrapbookers in mind the ideas are equally useful if you are creating a memory journal, smash book, Project Life spread, visual art journal, bullet journal, planner or any other kind of diary or record of your days on planet earth. I know with Bullet Journaling and Planners, in particular, there is an emphasis on efficiency and getting the job done but there is always room for more handwritten personal touches and descriptions about your activities or thoughts, feelings, reflections, gratitude and everything else in-between.


How to Add Handwritten Journaling to Scrapbooking Pages

  1. Dates, Place Name or Event Name
    If you are not used to including handwritten journaling on your scrapbooking pages then it may seem a bit daunting. I suggest to get over this hump you start small. Add the date in your own handwriting or perhaps the place name or name of the event. If you are not ready to put the whole of your journaling in your own handwriting then a combination of handwritten journaling and computer text on a scrapbooking layout can look good too.

  2. Write on the Background
    Create your own patterned scrapbooking paper by writing on the background or in the blank spaces around your photos.


  3. Add handwritten journaling to your scrapbook by writing on the background
  4. Write in a shape or line
    If you want to add visual effect to your scrapbooking pages write in a shape or line. A handwritten line that wanders across the page can look stunning. Handwriting on circles, swirls or other fun shapes is visually pleasing too. Turn the paper as you write for a whimsical effect.

  5. Add handwritten journaling to your scrapbook by writing in a shapre or adding a line
  6. Write on a Frame or Mat
    You can add extra flair to your pages by framing the photos on a page with your own written words. Try this technique by writing on a photo mat, frame or the white border around the photo.

  7. Add handwritten journaling to scrapbook by writing on the frame or matt
  8. Include a Handwritten Letter, Poem, Musings or Personal Narrative
    Write a letter, poem, or personal account of an event or happening in your own handwriting that can be included right on the scrapbooking page.

  9. Include Pockets, Folded Cards or Matchbooks
    Using scrapbooking pockets, folded cards, matchbooks are all space saving ways of adding more handwritten journaling to your scrapbooking layouts. Write your journaling by hand on a piece of coordinating cardstock and place it in a pocket on the page. Make a matchbook out of double sided cardstock and staple your handwritten message on coordinating cardstock inside the matchbook. Your journaling will remain hidden from view unless viewers of your scrapbooking pages remove the pocket or open up the card or matchbook. More on how to create a matchbook

  10. Write an Index Page
    A handwritten index page at the start of your scrapbook is a way to add more of your handwriting to your pages. Include facts like where, when, what, how, how long and of course who. Adding a handwritten index page is a simple way to include more of your handwriting in a scrapbook.

  11. Write a Dedication Page
    Like an index page a dedication page can contain a lot of extra information that you may not want to include on your scrapbooking pages. A dedication page appears at the end of your scrapbook pages and includes details about the dates the album was mades, who it is dedicated to and the name of the author.

  12. Transform Your Handwriting into a Computer Font
    If you want to do a lot of journaling on your pages yet keep your lines straight you can still preserve the human touch by turning your handwriting into a font using an online program such as Fontifier

  13. Add Handwriting Using Free Cursive Fonts
    Scrapbookers who want to personalize their scrapbooking layouts can use computer generated cursive fonts that mimic handwriting. You will find free cursive fonts to download at websites like scrapbookingfonts.com.
