Thanksgiving. If your family gathers together on Thanksgiving Day, it can be a prime opportunity for a family photo. Gather your relatives together in one place-outside if weather permits, or around the dinner table, for a picture. Photographs of the food and people preparing it also make a nice touch.
Valentine's Day. Many collage frames cater to love and Valentine's Day. Consider a collage frame shaped as a heart and simply drag and drop a photo of the couple into it. You can find a large assortment of scrapbook layouts with cupids, hearts, candies, love poems and flowers to complement your Valentine's Day mementos such as scanned cards, restaurant keepsakes or movie ticket stubs.
Christmas. You'll find an endless assortment of scrapbook layouts and collage frames that celebrate Christmas. Think about what type of theme you'd like: A Santa Claus might be appropriate for a scrapbook that highlights the children's experience, while holly, Christmas trees and stockings over a fire are universal to both kids and adults.
Hanukkah. You might consider using separate scrapbook pages and collage frames to highlight each day of Hannukah. Photograph symbolic customs associated with Hanukkah, such as menorah candles, gelt and family members playing dreidel.
Fourth of July. Independence Day is often a time for family picnics and parties. You might choose collage frames with a patriotic theme or fireworks. Just avoid using a collage frame depicting fireworks to frame fireworks-that might be overkill!
Halloween. Scrapbook layouts featuring bats, skeletons and pumpkins will help accentuate your Halloween photos. Photograph your decorated house, costumed family members, and your kids' loot post-trick-or-treat.
Birthdays. This scrapbook may feature items such as photos of a birthday party, birthday cake and the opening of gifts. Use numbers as an embellishment to mark which birthday was being celebrated. You can also save and scan cards received and add them to a photo collage.
Your holiday albums will be viewed many times over the years and can make treasured gifts for your relatives. Choosing digital scrapbook layouts allows you to duplicate each album as it is created so you can easily print and share copies with those you love.
