Scrapbooks offer a way to take that stack of photos and turn it into a book of memories. Chronicling a journey of friendship makes a beautiful, personalized gift for a dear friend on a special occasion. The album might turn out so well, you will just want to keep that cherished scrapbook for yourself. In either case, several scrapbook ideas and themes for a friendship scrapbook will help you create a treasured project.

Related Searches: Songs or Poems

All types of songs about friends and friendship can symbolize your close relationship. You can use the lines to a song and place different phrases throughout the album. Or you can use several songs in the scrapbook. Songs such as "Lean on Me," "You've Got a Friend" and "Friends are Friends Forever" provide jumping off points to start your scrapbook; you can use any song that reflects your friendship and reminds you of the bond you have. Similar to a song, but still more personal, you can write your own poem for your friend. Include a line on each page along with photos from throughout your friendship to match.

Emotions

You only need to find one or two photos for a scrapbook where journaling takes center stage. Journal stories of different emotions you and your friend have shared. Love, loyalty, trust, courage and support are just a few of the ideas you can write about. If your thoughts are too personal for others to see, then include an envelope in which you can hide your journaling. Or write your journaling on the back of your layout.

Acrostic

Make an acrostic with your friend's name or using the word "Friendship." Each page can describe her in a word, with photos and embellishments to complement the theme (see Resources). Embellishments that work well for friendship albums for women include flowers and ribbons, while buttons and twine are more typically used for albums for men or boys. Themed, patterned paper will highlight a friendship scrapbook for anyone, along with words or phrases about your friendship in the form of rub-ons, stickers or stamps.

Chronological

You can create a basic, chronological scrapbook that provides an overview of the history of your friendship together. Include favorite quotes, sayings on friendship, or your own inside jokes. You can find color-coordinated products for sayings such as "True Blue Friends," using lots of blue and embellishments such as paint, brads and buttons. For a page on "Two Peas in a Pod," include various shades of green and add a label off a pea can, or download some clip art of peas. Document the special dates, places and people in your friendship so you have a permanent record of your precious memories.
