I'm making a random sort of scrap book for my best friends birthday and I still have quite a bit of time left. I just want to add pictures of us, a couple of recipes, drawings etc.

1. Is this a good idea?

2. What else can I include?

3. any tips for decorating or anything

my best friend loves indie rock music and rap , shes not really girly, she loves poetry and unique, funky things like dreamcatchers.

    Yes, I think a scrapbook is a great idea. Make it to suit your friend's tastes, of course. Perhaps use distressed edges, stains, textured embellishments etc instead of paper flowers. Add fibers and leather strings to the binding of the album. Add some silver charms and/or feathers, beads or buttons too.

    I suggest your journal about how your friendship formed and how you value her friendship.

    You could write the words of a favourite song in the album. Try weaving the words across several pages and find illustrations for the words of the song.

    Include her favourite poems, illustrated with pictures/drawings.

    You can add a sound track of her favourite music by recording it on a flash drive and making it part of the album - make it a dangle or an item to place in a pocket in the book.

    Add some more natural things like pressed leaves.

    Include the story of the origin of the dreamcatcher.

    you are going to desire a see by way of glass jar (a jar that's used for caning meals will do satisfactory or u can purchase whatever nicer) you will also meed glue, and tissue paper. what you do is tear the tissue paper into little squares or something shpe you love it is quality when you've got a veriety of colours. than you'll glue the tissue paper onto the glass jar. You could make a pictue with the paper if u are creative. Or u can simply mak a jumble of the differant colours. THAN you situation the canddle into the glass jar and the outcome will appear like a stained glass window. IF YOU WANT YOU CAN ADD A PRETY RIBON AROUNG THE JAR well success i am hoping this is helping

    Try using song lyrics in your next layout.

    Song lyrics can be a great source of title and page inspiration for a scrapper.

    Music and songs play an important part in our lives. Hearing a song again can evoke a lot of emotion, bringing back fond memories of special times, special people and special places.

    Of course, different songs mean different things to different people - but you can use songs to 'tap' into those memories to create unique, and highly personal scrapbook pages.
