Creating Keepsakes(TM) Magazine Offers 'Hot' Tips For Scrapbooking Your Summer Fun

- - - -

OREM, Utah, May 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Families across the continent are gearing up for their annual summer vacations, and Creating Keepsakes magazine wants to get in on the action! No vacation is complete without capturing every great (and not-so-great) moment on film. Now, the whole family can preserve those photos on a memorable scrapbook page by following "hot" tips for your summer scrapbook from Creating Keepsakes. Tips include:

***CAPTURE YOUR MEMORIES IN WRITING: Carry a notebook to record the memorable quips and funny mishaps. Traveling across the state or country is a sure-fire way to gather priceless material, and without writing it down, you'll never remember what made you laugh or cry so hard! At home, you'll have amazing anecdotes and stories to include in your new vacation album.

***FAMILY AND FRIEND REUNIONS: Arrange interviews with relatives and friends who may be older and less familiar. If traveling with children, encourage them to ask for details from your loved ones, such as information about their city or town, best friends, pets, favorite song or book, goals or other highlights in their lives. Take pictures of each family member with the person they interviewed, and create a scrapbook page of the photos and the information discovered during the interview.

***GET THE FAMILY INVOLVED. Be sure to ask for input of family members, especially children, when snapping photos-their unique perspective may uncover treasures you may not have captured on your own.

***SPLIT THE SCRAPBOOKING FUN: Assign each traveling companion a "job" to take care of as you gather items to remember from your vacation. One person can keep a photo journal of the pictures taken, writing down the date, time and place, while another can collect ticket stubs and brochures to include on your future page.

Since so many families include a Disney theme park in their vacation, Creating Keepsakes has recently announced its newest idea book, The Big Idea Book of Disney Memories. This special publication offers wondrous ideas to create page layouts before your magical memories fade like pixie dust! For more information and to view sample Disney scrapbook pages, visit http://www.creatingkeepsakes.com/products/disneymemories.html.

Creating Keepsakes scrapbook magazine, published 10 times a year, has a circulation of approximately 250,000 and is available at scrapbook specialty stores, Barnes & Noble, Wal-Mart, Michaels and Hobby Lobby stores, as well as craft retailers nationwide. For information about the magazine or a complete list of sweepstakes contest rules, visit http://www.creatingkeepsakes.com or call 888/247-5282.
