How many of your most treasured memories have a perfect photo capturing the very essence of the moment you want to scrapbook? If you've put off scrapbooking your stories because of missing photos, delay no longer. Here are two easy solutions to help you capture those photo-less memories before they fade.

Solution #1: Feature Memorabilia

Joseph's Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat by Lisa Swift, as seen in the July/August 2011 issue of Creating Keepsakes.

Movie tickets from a first date. Coins from a trip overseas. Fabric from a childhood dress. They all come with memories and they're all worthy of preservation. Forget the photos and let memorabilia star in next layout as Lisa did here. If you're concerned about acidity, safeguard your items with acid-free spray or place them in acid-free clear envelopes.
