Photographing
the Artwork:
Another option for including over-sized, non-acid free artwork in
your scrapbooks is to simply take pictures of the masterpieces. Two
ways to do this are: 1) Photograph your child holding the pieces, 2)
Set-up a gallery (of sorts) on a bulletin board or on the refrigerator
and photograph your child standing in front of the pictures. Both of
these ideas allow you to see in the picture both the wonderful
creations your child made and how old your child was when he made
them. Then, you simply include these pictures in your scrapbook
layouts.
Laminated Books
One mother I know, saves select pieces of artwork for an entire school year and
then takes them to the local teacher's center and has them laminated and bound
into a "picture book." In this way, you won't actually be including
the art in your family scrapbook, but you will be preserving it both for the
future and for your child to be able to flip through as he wishes. Making a
special book in this way will make your child feel that you thought his work was
significant enough to be treasured. Online
Art Galleries
What if you want to share your child's artistic accomplishments with friends and
relatives far away? How about displaying some of it in an online art gallery.
The Arts/Crafts
for Kids guide at About has some wonderful links and instructions for
submitting artwork to online children's galleries. Of course once you have
scanned in the work for online display, you can also print it out to include a
copy in your scrapbooks. Looking
for more ideas......come discuss it with us on the forum! Happy
