Scrapbooking for the Family Reunion
We are having a family reunion this summer, so I’ve spent quite a bit more time lately working on my family trees, building digital scrapbook pages, and creating the album covers for the post-bound albums that the pages will fit into.
It has been so much fun that I just wanted to share one of the 12 x 12 post bound album covers and one of the pages that I created for our family scrapbook!
I just love this photograph of my Mom and Dad, so I’m using it for the cover of the scrapbook album that I will be ordering this week!
I just love putting digital copies of these treasured old photographs into an album so the whole family can enjoy them.
You Can Personalize the Album Cover…
I also like being able to personalize the covers of my Heritage Maker’s scrapbook (affiliate link) to match the photographs inside the album!
I can’t wait to show it to this mom! I think she will really love it! (It might make an awesome Mother’s Day gift, but I don’t think I can wait that long to show her!)

I LOVE your book and page!It makes me want to work on mine. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! I love doing the scrapbooking, especially digitally, as I can just change and change everything until I get it the way that I want it! I am working on a pictorial family tree now, and am very excited about it, and sharing it with others at our family reunion this summer! I will post that as soon as I get two more photos!
Thank you for sharing your ideas. I am just starting scrapbooking and your presentation is the best I’ve seen.
I also arranged my husband’s family reunion. I’ve been working on his family tree for quiet a while. I thought about scrapbooking all of it. Putting photos and the information together.
My husband doesn’t what his photos online and I respect his wishes.
Your the best. Bb
Thank you very much for the kind words!! I am in the process now of scrapbooking our August family reunion, and not only is it fun, but I know that I am building a book that will preserve that weekend for us to enjoy again and again!
