<p>Now that my son has started the process for joining the Navy and is considered a Future Sailor, I want to start collecting things to put into my son's scrapbook. What kinds of things did you save to put in your scrapbooks for your sailor? Obviously I don't have much right now, but I did save a couple things out of the DEP folder that he received after he went to MEPS. Thanks in advance for your response!</p>

<p>I'm a newbie and my son is getting ready to go to MEPS in a couple weeks before he joins the DEP. He's only a junior in HS right now, soon to be a Senior. So, he won't be going in for about a year. I've been scrapbooking for the past 15 years. We won't be able to go to MEPS for his first time as it is about 6 hours away. But, we are hoping to make it to MEPS when he ships out to BC. I just want to make sure I get the photos that are most important along this whole process that will be…</p>
<p>I'm a newbie and my son is getting ready to go to MEPS in a couple weeks before he joins the DEP. He's only a junior in HS right now, soon to be a Senior. So, he won't be going in for about a year. I've been scrapbooking for the past 15 years. We won't be able to go to MEPS for his first time as it is about 6 hours away. But, we are hoping to make it to MEPS when he ships out to BC. I just want to make sure I get the photos that are most important along this whole process that will be unfolding before our eyes so quickly. So...please anyone with experience on how to score the best photos of your recruit...share away. Like don't-want-to-miss shots, and opportunities that are worth capturing along the entire process. THANKS! I'm so looking forward to getting to know this group more as my son's career in the Navy moves along.</p> Scrapbook in a BOXtag:navyformoms.ning.com,2011-07-10:1971797:Topic:56862132011-07-10T21:28:44.356ZLala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbonshttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/Lala

<p>Scrapbook in a box… </p>
<p>Step 1….. Take a 12x12 sheet of cardstock (this will be the base of the box) and cover it with patterned paper or random stamp the paper. Then score the inside (the blank side) of the paper at 4" on all four sides. Cut four corner squares to make a "cross" with your sheet of paper. <br/> **Tip** It is easier to glue the pattern paper to your cardstock first so that you can cut both pieces of paper at the same time.</p>
<p>Step 2….. Take your second sheet of paper and cut it to an 11x11 size. Now score the corners of this paper at 3 3/4". Again cut the four corners to make your "cross".</p>
<p>Step 3….. Cut the third sheet of paper to a 10 x 10 size and score the corners at 3 1/2" and cut your four corners.</p>
<p>Step 4…. Next embellish your individual pages and glue on the photo mats. Your squares will be scored to make them easy to fold. Decorate the pages before you assemble your album.</p>
<p>Step 5…. Layer the pages on top of each other starting with the largest (12 x 12) on bottom, then stack in order of size. Glue each layer in the middle only so that the pages can be flipped and pictures or embellishments can be adhered on both sides. Once the box is assembled it will be to decorate and add photographs. You can use your own photos or give a blank album as a gift and let the recipient add their photos to complete the scrapbook.</p>
<p>Step 7…. Fold the four sides of the paper up into a box and top it off with an embellished lid. You will be left with a 4 x 4 mini-scrapbook box.</p>
<p>Scrapbook-in-a-box lid instructions:</p>
<p>With your 4th piece of cardstock you can make a lid for the scrapbook-in-a-box mini-album. Cut the paper into an 8 x 8 square. Then, score it at 1 7/8" on all four sides. Next, cut one side of each corner so that it leaves a flap of paper to tuck in when you fold the lid together. You may want to decorate your lid before you form it and glue it together. Once you have completed your album then fold up the sides of your box and place the lid on top.</p>
<p>Tips…. Save the squares you cut out and use them to make layered photo mats, journal blocks or tags. Paper flowers, buttons, chipboard and other 3-D objects make wonderful lid embellishments. (in the picture a large paper flower lined with stitched ribbon was used)</p>
<p>The sides of the lid can be lined with paper strips (use up your paper scraps) or ribbon. Adhesive backed ribbon works well.</p>

Here are some embellishments I made for my Sailors Navy Scrapbook. These should give you some ideas and help you get started on your scrapbook. Let me know if you have any questions about them.<br/>I will have the sailors dressed in Digicams in a few days and add that pic as well. I am so excited about these. I can't wait for my paper to come in. :-)<br/><br/>
