"  Let&amp;#039;s face it, memories are made in the summer! That&amp;#039;s when you spend time with the family on vacation and at weddings and reunions. Scrapbooking&amp;#039;s a great way to hold onto these memories. And even though most of your photos are probably now saved on your PC or cell phone, it&amp;#039;s nice to have a tangible memory book to keep on the coffee table or bookshelf for browsing and sharing with guests. The best thing you can do to make scrapbooking easy is collect the memories while they happen. Here are 5 things to keep in mind this summer when you&amp;#039;re at the shore, touring a city, or toasting the bride and groom. 1. Take LOTS of photos Most obvious but also the most important. Don&amp;#039;t just take posed pictures; shoot candid shots, scenery, signs, meals, you name it! You can always narrow down the photos later. 2. Hold onto your handouts If you&amp;#039;re traveling, keep your airplane ticket and maps. Attending a wedding or an outdoor concert? Keep the invitation or flyer and any programs. Even if you just take a day trip to a museum, concert, or movie, hold onto admission tickets. All of these make great (and free!) additions to scrapbooks. 3. Jot down quotes &amp;amp;amp; memories If you hear a memorable toast or an interesting fact on a tour or something that makes you laugh, write it down - the memo app on your smartphone is perfect for this purpose. Adding quotes and specific memories to your scrapbook will make it more personal and meaningful. 4. Don&amp;#039;t throw out all of your trash Sometimes your &amp;#039;trash&amp;#039; makes a great addition to your scrapbook. Napkins with a restaurant logo, hotel room keys, and even interesting food wrappers add unique decorative elements. 5. Keep an eye out for pretty things Dry flowers from a centerpiece between two heavy books. Save bits of ribbons from gifts. Think scrapbook when you&amp;#039;re browsing in souvenir shops. Be on the lookout for items that not only look nice, but will bring back your happy memories. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
