CAPTURE your summer memories in a homespun album.
Scrapbooking is a cheap, fun and great activity to do with children — and it means fab family holidays and dreamy days out can be remembered forever.

Here’s a few affordable ideas to help take traditional photo albums to a new level . . .
BUY A BOOK: Get set with a blank book. Kraft scrapbooks start from £3 at The Works, while Tesco has a Serenity Scrapbook, down from £4 to £3.50.
All you have to do is decide on your theme.
Do you want to document the school break, a family holiday, a special occasion or simply a fun family day out?
GET CREATIVE: Think of ways to illustrate your album.
This could include a map — hand-drawn or printed out — funny quotes of things that were said at the time and little doodles that reflect your location and who you were with.
PICTURE THIS: Photos are essential for your album. Printing in a variety of sizes, from thumbnails to full page, will mix things up.
Kids will love using a Creacam instant print camera, down from £59.99 to £49.99 at The Range, which prints instant black and white snaps that can then be coloured in.
CHILD’S PLAY: You can find online templates at sites like busythings.co.uk that help children record their own summer memories.
They’ll make a magical reminder in years to come.
STICK WITH IT: Fill your scrap book with anything that jogs your memory, including travel tickets, luggage labels, receipts and postcards.
Stick them in with Washi Tape — you can get a pack of 24 reels for £5 at The Works.
PRESENT TIME: Scrapbooks also make thoughtful gifts, especially if a friend has a big event on the horizon.
Look for something special, like the Babylon pale pink embroidered leopard book from Paperchase, £9.80, down from £14.
