The holiday season is a great time to capture memorable images of your pet. Previously we shared some tips for improving your pet photography; now we have some tips on how to preserve and display those photos. And to give you some inspiration, we're including some of our favorite holiday photos from last year!
Scrapbooking is a wonderful way to preserve your cherished memories. For many people their pets are an important part of the family, so it is just natural to want to capture those special times shared with a beloved pet. You can use your favorite scrapbooking tools to make unique pages that you can enjoy for years to come.
To get started, you'll need to have some good photos of your pet from a variety of different angles. Also, make sure that you capture your pet with different members of the family. And if your dog has a favorite toy, include some special pictures of that as well.
First, make sure that the scrapbooking materials you use are acid and lignin free. You'll need scrapbooking supplies such as an album, cut-outs, stickers, letter rub-ons, and any other creative embellishments you desire. Choose things related to your pet such as dog breed stickers or cat themed papers.
Next, you will want to consider what themes to include in your pet's scrapbook. We have a few ideas to help you get started, but you should include any moments you want to preserve for posterity.
My Pet's First _______
Focus on "the firsts". If you are fortunate enough to get your pet while he or she is still a baby, then create a scrapbook album around the "firsts". But even if you adopted your pet when he or she was older, you can still create some great "first" scrapbook pages. Create scrapbook pages around coming home, your pet's first bath, first visit to the park, first car ride, etc.
A Day in the Life
Tracking your pet's daily activities is another great scrapbook theme. You could include pages about your pet's morning routine, nap time, meal time, and outdoor time. Trace your pet's paw print and include that in the pages too!
My Favorites
A theme around "pet favorites" is also a fun idea. Take photos and create pages around your pet's favorite activities. For a cat you might include pages on favorite toys and nap places. For a dog, choose photos of favorite outdoor play or playtime with toys.
Special Occasions
In addition to holidays, there are other special occasions that you may celebrate with your pet throughout the year. Do you celebrate your pet's birthday? Then by all means include some "birthday" photos in the scrapbook.
