As your family’s storyteller, you can convey the past to those in the future through your scrapbooks. 

What better way to share your memories with a child than to include a letter for them on a layout about them? Letters to children may include big life lessons they can remember from a small step they took in their life. Your letter will serve as a marker along their journey of physical and emotional progress.

You Rock by Joannie McBride, as seen in the May/June 2011 issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine.

Design Tip: Create a layout like Joannie did featuring a large cardstock flap to cover your journaling. Attach the flap to your page using brads. Score the cardstock just below the brads, and add a tab or string at the bottom to show the reader how to find the letter underneath.
