What should i put in a scrapbook along with pictures?
Either a scrapbook or a photo album. I have all of these pictures of my cousins and i when we were little and decided to make it more creative than a boring ol’ photo album. Any advice?

That depends on what YOU want in the book — Journaling is always important. Do you remember when the pictures were taken — write about it. You do have old birthday cards from them? Holiday cards? Include them. Maybe you still have that old gumwrapper chain you worked on together – take a piece of it and include it. If you are a pack rat [as I am] then you will find something to include besides pictures — a piece of fabric from some homemade clothes you were wearing at the time — a button, zipper… pressed flower, cheap necklace that you thought was “priceless” at the time.
You are limited only by your imagination.
PS if you “digi-scrap”, you can combine the two styles [traditional scrapping and digi-scrapping] or if you don’t like “lumpy” book, photograph those items and either extract for background papers or elements.
