Scrapbooking is a creative way to preserve your memories using photos, paper, and small keepsakes like tickets or notes. Each page usually includes photos, captions, and decorations like patterned paper, stickers, and washi tape. There’s no right or wrong way to do it — it’s about expressing yourself and keeping your favorite moments in a form you can touch and look back on.
