Hi all! I am new to scrapbooking, but not new to crafts in general. What happened is, I finally went through this big box of photos I had, and got inspired to do a scrapbook for my sister for her birthday.
I've got pictures of her as a kid, me and her together as kids, us with mom (who died when I was 13 and sis was 10), us with dad, her with her cat (deceased) her with the dog (also deceased) and pics of her current husband and their two kids. I'm also planning to take more pictures tomorrow (not telling her why, just that I feel like it) since I don't think I have any of her kids since last year and they sure change a lot in a year, huh?
Ok, here's my concerns. None of these have dates, because I suck. So, I have no idea what to write to go with any of them. Somehow I don't think "Leah and mom sometime in the 80's" is gonna cut it. I'm thinking of maybe writing her a poem that continues from one page to the next, what do y'all think? Something about time and memories and love and family . . . but not too corny I hope.
Another concern: She's totally a goth/punk chick. Her favorite color is black. She probably really won't enjoy anything too cutesy-poo. But, sorry, black and flames and demons just don't go with baby pictures! Any ideas for a happy medium?
