Save Your Shutterbug Moments And Stories: Creative Memories-Themed Scrapbook Layout

Posted on February 8, 2023February 8, 2023 by Krislyn Mattei

If you sit down and think about it, scrapbooking is rooted as an ancient art form— from carved and painted rock images to chronicles of passed-down oral storytelling and “family bibles” following the invention of the printing press in the 15th century to record names, births and announcements. As time progressed, so did technology — the industrial printing press and new forms of printed materials allowed people to add or paste keepsakes such as newspaper clippings, greeting cards, photos and postcards into journals and diaries. Scrapbooking is packed with notes of yesteryear, but history lesson aside, we are the modern-day storytellers of family legacies, everyday moments, special occasions and more so those narratives can continue on to be remembered. The photographs show it, the journal entries tell it and the elements and designs enhance it. And you can show your love of scrapbooking, crafting, storytelling and memory-keeping with this Creative Memories-themed scrapbook layout!
