Hello, DIYers!

What’s the difference between scrapbooking and putting together a photo album? I’m glad you asked! A scrapbook is a brilliant way to really engage with the person, place, or experience you have chosen for the page. Taking some deliberate time to truly put your own creative stamp to further impress the importance of the subject can really give you a deeper appreciation for it. It doesn’t hurt that they are much more interesting for people to look at if you want to show them off!

Scrapbooking for seniors can be particularly wonderful as it pulls from their long-term memory and helps to create more ties to them. Plus, if they struggle with memory loss later in the future, they will always have a pleasant reminder!

Happy crafting!

Document the Journey 

When on a trip it becomes easy to focus entirely on the destination (and who can blame you?!) but the journey is also an important part of travel! Especially if you’re doing it with loved ones! What music did you listen to? What jokes were made? It’s even worthwhile to document the bumps along the way because ONE DAY it might be funny!

Correct Dark Lighting with Bold Colors 

Most of us take the majority of our photos with our phones. Though phone cameras have gotten incredibly powerful, the conditions of being out and about don’t always allow for the perfect light settings and then we end up with dark photos. If you want to contrast the appearance of darkness you can create a colorful background to contrast it!
