Heritage Album

I need some scrapbook page ideas for a scrapbook of me and my cousin, please help! :)?

My cousin and I have grown up together, and he's like a brother to me. We're graduating this year, and I want to do a scrapbook of pictures of us through the years. I have plenty of pictures, but I'm not sure how to use them. Any good page ideas??? Thanks!

1. Google scrapbook layouts. I promise TONS of sites will come up. They may come up as stores but they all have a page "gallery" where u can view user submitted or professional pages. Some will even let you narrow your search buy theme, and in your situation, you should look for "family" or even "cousin" In the sources box I will show you a few of my fave places to get page ideas and inspiration. Good luck and congrats on ur graduation!
2. http://www.scrapbook.com/gallery/ Scrapbook.com's gallery has some awesome page/album ideas. You could even use their search field to look for "cousins" or "friends" pages. Include some memorable moments about why your relationship with your cousin is so special. Try to add things to your album that capture your connection to each other and describes your personal styles.
3. Work on pages that not only look good, but have lots of meaning. For instance, is there something that a mutual grandparent did or said that would spark a memory (my great grandma told us that the older we get, the faster time flies-I did a layout with a jet with a clock on it with my cousins). Perhaps using some stickers, paper, or other embellishments that relate to some of your favorite memories, like going to the park, picnics, or the beach. Contrast pages, like girly things on your page, and boy things on his, or comparing that he liked science and you liked music (or whatever) to compare differences, then in the end, with a picture of you and him together as kids, and together in very recent times, with a page saying the love never changes, even though lives do. At your ages, taking a photo from your youth, maybe he wanted to be an astronaut/fireman, etc, and then comparing it to his modern goals in the near future. Make predictions of what you think the future might hold, and journalize many of your favorite memories of little things like frogs, playing tag, etc, and what those times mean to you. Have fun, and leave extra empty page protectors to keep adding pages to it.
