1. just a few ideas - fotos & stuff of what she likes, in colors she prefers - fotos of all of you together, as an extended family - some old greeting cards, trinkets, etc. that you may have shared - some reminders of cherished [even not-so-cherished ;-)] memories eg. a common book/song/music/film/....shared holidays ... - quotations alongside - common hobbies - a "story" of her growing up as You see it --- include fotos but also text, etc. about how you saw & responded to her then & how it has changed/grown over the years, how she has changed/grown over the years in various ways. hope these inspire you all the very best & have fun
2. First, ask yourself - do you want to make a scrapbook about your cousin? Or do you want to make a scrapbook that she can fill in with her family, friends, classmates and activities. Maybe purchasing a school themed book would be nice with pages and stickers that are girly themed. She may appreciate this even more. Hobby Lobby, Michaels or any craft stores will have girly papers, sticker and more. I'm sure she would love something like this.
3. http://www.freenameastar.com/ you could do a page like i did for my daughter- i named a star after her- check out link above you can print out certificate for one page and next page with her picture in a star/ or star themed
4. Go to your library and get books on scrapbooking and magazines. You can check out a lot of them and look through them for ideas.
5. i also have the same problem, we pick names as well and i have to make something for my 16 year old cousin, i was thinking some sort of collage with pictures of us and magazine cut outs and stuff like that so she could put in her room, or you could try something liek personalized with her name on it.. try.. www.cafepress.com
