Capturing memories of a child for your scrapbooking page ideas is a great way to preserve memories in a fun way.

This scrapbook page layout is of a young boy who is having fun in various ways. The patterns and colours used in this scrapbook page not only work well for a boy but are also entertaining so they fit in with the over all theme.

The star has been cut using a star template which has been drawn onto a large piece of scrapbooking paper and cut out. The picture has been placed inside the star and secured in place using craft glue.

The picture has a white boarder around it so that it stands out slightly. If you do not have the ability to print your pictures in this way you can always mount it onto some white card first, and then cut it out so that it has a border.

The photo here has been placed behind the star and secured with glue. A scrapbook pen has been used to write some journaling around the edge of the star.

It is always important to use a scrapbook pen when journaling in your scrapbook pages, as using anything else may fade over time or even damage the paper.

The words ‘soap star superstar’ has been cut from a sizzix machine. The main advantage of using a sizzix machine to cut your letters is the pressure generated gives the letters a clean and crisp cut with no jagged edges, leaving your scrapbook page layout with a true professional look.

You can also use peel off scrapbook stickers or rub ons to put words or letters on a page.

This is just one of the many free scrapbooking layout ideas you can find on my scrapbooking website so feel free to take a look at some more.

The corner of this scrapbooking page layout is made up from the left over piece of star scrapbook paper. Cutting around the edge of the stars makes the paper appear to be part of the blue sheet that is underneath.

Again a scrapbook pen has been used to create a pattern that runs along the edge of the paper.
