12 DIY Journal + Scrapbook Ideas
If you’re like me, the idea of scrapbooking or keeping a journal is one that you love, but frankly never seem to find time to actually do. Lack of time aside, preserving and cherishing memories and photos is something I really aspire to do more of moving forward. So with that in mind, lately I’ve found myself really drawn to cute and easy journal and scrapbook ideas. Ideas that are inexpensive, whimsical and easy to do. Here are 12 fun ideas for DIY journals and scrapbooks that are as sweet as they are simple!
