i need some good scrapbooking ideas, im making my brother a scrapbook of us for christmas?
we're very close, and theres not a picture of me as a child without him in it. he's two years older then me. i thought we have all of these old pictures of us sitting around, why not put something together for the two of us to remember, cry, & laugh at! there's no bettter gift then one from the heart. so, i was hoping i could get some good ideas to make it a good one. any ideas?

1. Do it by years. So if you can remember which pictures occured in what year, then do your book pages by years. So if 1975 was a fun year full of memories then pick the best pictures and make it a front and back page titled 1975. Then if you have a couple good memories of say...1979 then do just a front page of that titled 1979 and so one until you have the number of pages you desire. (Like a year book kinda) you can even do like a special occasion page where you have a fun picture but not a specific year to represent it then do a page or 2 at the end where these go ( like at the end of a yearbook where there are just random pictures.) What a great Christmas gift you have going! Good luck!2. I'd find some nice quotes to add to your scrapbook too. Here are some places to look:

Also gather any memorabilia you have to add to the scrapbook. Find old ticket stubs of places you went together as kids, (circuses? sports events? movies?) or Google about these things if you no longer have memorabilia to remind yourself of how to journal about the special events of your childhood.
Add lists of things you appreciate about him and how he has been such a wonderful big brother.
I love this idea and hope you enjoy making your scrapbook a lot :)
