The first thing you will need to do is decide the overall theme and direction of the scrapbook. There are no rules here so whatever you would like to do is fine.

Other people may prefer to use this scrapbook as a way of highlighting their loved one’s accomplishments, military career, or other big life events. If you are creating this book with other family members, talk it over and see what theme everyone agrees on.

Once you have the direction of the scrapbook, you will need to gather the contents. While photographs are an obvious choice, don’t be afraid to think outside of the box and add other items such as:

Anything that you would like to add but wont fit, take a picture of it and include the picture. This could be a picture of all their trophies, their car they loved, a painting they created, etc.

After you have everything gathered, it’s time to go shopping. You can get as much or as little as you would like. The only thing you must have is a scrapbook and some glue or tape to attach everything with. Beyond that, it is up to you

If you would like to keep it simple, then just attach the contents you have gathered into the scrapbook in the order you wish. If you would like to make this scrapbook flashier or more fun, there are a ton of embellishments you can use.
