Bringing Memories To Life
Scrapbooking is far more than a collection of random pictures pasted on pretty paper. Combining unique Photos with words and accented with embellishments is really today's art...and tomorrow's legacy.
A scrapbook is a personal time capsule, a love note to generations yet to come, a time travel machine, a documentation of life's little moments, a record of what really mattered. It’s proof of the power that only photos have to capture a moment, tell a story, and connect us with each other, to our past and our future.
Tell Your Story
Fujifilm invites you to explore some sites and resources that show how people use film and digital photos today to create tomorrow's treasures. Pictures tell more about us than just that instant – they are our novels to write, stories to tell, history to teach. Get out those prints and start a scrapbook today!

Using technology to create your scrapbook while still on the road.

The desire to do something interesting with travel photos is one way many people become interested in scrapbooking in the first place. Generally, everyone ends up with stacks of photos from trips sitting on a hard drive (the modern day digital shoe box - a really big shoe box for some). What if you made the creation of the scrapbook part of the trip? Here are some tips to make scrapbooking not only a fun way to enjoy your vacation or travels, but make sure you get that project done - sometimes by the time you get home! |

Travelscrapping Tips:
|
|
| |
|
 |
Collect, but don’t build. Gather memorabilia during the day (menus, matchbooks, business cards, maps, newspaper clippings, napkins, postcards, etc) – but don’t glue them down yet. The opportunity to add these items to your pages will come later.
|
| |
|
Keep the highway digital. Bring along a laptop (like your 16-year-old didn’t bring one anyway). This way, you can capture and upload digital images to your favorite photos site or directly to a retail photo finisher – straight from that computer each night (luckily most hotels, even the budget ones, have high speed internet service.)
|
|
|
Travel far, print local. If you are going to be in the same town for a couple of days, you can use a retail print engine and enter the local zip code off the hotel stationery for a convenient pick-up location – and pretty much always have photos in hand within an hour of hitting the send button. Or, if you’re heading out early the next day, just enter the name of a town that you’ll be passing through around lunchtime, and pick up the photos there. Make an adventure out of it!
|
|
|
Family fun. At night, spend an hour or so working on the layouts. By the time you get home – your travel scrapbook will be done (or pretty close), and you can actually show people your travel book while they're still interested – no more telling them they'll need to wait months or years to see trip photos.
|
|
|
Share the magic. Enjoy the reaction when you pull out real, physical prints of photos to show to people you meet on the road (and NOT killing the mood by dragging out the laptop, booting up and loading software to show them on the screen.)
|
|
|
Back up – and print. Having hard print copies will give you peace of mind lest something happen to the equipment or you lose the digital files – even if you back up like crazy, you can never have too many copies. |
