I love collecting mementos, I have always kept hold of special birthday cards, tickets and receipts for special days ever since I was young. I love being able to look back at memories and remembering the feelings of happiness and joy.
To keep all the beautiful mementos I decided I would start scrapbooking these to keep them safe and I have a place to store them all. I enjoy scrapbooking as I find it such a relaxing activity, it also allows me to be creative. It also means I can dig out my pritt stick and any excuse to use washi tape haha!
I have been so fortunate to attend concerts and festivals. I decided on Bank Holiday Monday after work that I wanted to sit and start scrapbooking some of my tickets and other mementos. I hadn’t scrapbooked in the longest time so I thought it would be fun. I am going to find the rest of my tickets etc and work on some more pages on some Sunday afternoons.
Scrapbooking is such a versatile activity and you can use scrapbooks so many other ways, so I thought I would share some other content you can put into your scrapbook.
1. Holiday photos
2. Family photos
3. Your drawings
4. Your paintings
5. Fill with memories as a gift for a loved one
6. Travel memories
7. Journalling
8. Email/Text print out memories
9. Fashion inspiration
10. Inspirational quotes
11.Magazine cut outs
12. Mood/Vision boards
Do you like to scrapbook, or have you ever scrapbooked? I’d love to hear in the comments.
Cute!! My mom has a bunch of scrapbooks and I really wanna get started making one for my kids so they’ll always have it to look back on 💛 great Post as always !

I absolutely love scrapbooking! It is such a fab way to store special memories in such a creative way 🙂 I have a holiday scrapbook with postcards, plane tickets, photos and mementos as well as a concert ticket book with gig tickets and flyers. I love the idea of scrapbooking cinema tickets too. I really enjoy magazine scrapbooking to see what is inspiring me at the time… I feel like doing a some Spring/Summer pages soon. Thank you for sharing your ideas lovely, your pages are so pretty, I love the colourful washi and stickers, it is so bright and eye catching! Fab post Lauren! ❤ xx

I’ve never made a scrapbook, but I do like to save things like ticket stubs, and I love watching how others decorate their books. I think it requires a neatness factor that I just don’t have, but yours is looking good!

What a great idea Lauren & it looks like good fun too. I have shoeboxes full of tickets and things I’ve saved over the years. They just sit there in the boxes though not doing anything and not getting looked at either. This has really got me pondering doing this with all my memory boxes now too – thanks for the inspiration hun!
