Question Posted Thursday November 25 2004, 1:18 am
i've known my best friend for almost two and a half years now, and i have some hilarious pictures and memories from the past bit. also some serious ones and all that. anyway, i want to somehow incorporate everything he and i have been through into some sort of gift to be able to give him at the end of high school (we're juniors right now). but i'm kind of blanking on good ideas. i want to make sure it can have all of our inside jokes and all that, and be something he can keep forever, you know? any help would be greatly appreciated!
If you have a lot of pictures, scrapbook! Go out and buy some double sided tape, stickers, paper, and acid free pens, along with a nice album. Make borders for the pictures and write captions. This can be hard to do though- it's one of those things where you're either great at it or you suck at it.
Or you can make a collage. Do this by getting a piece of posterboard, making a title, and pasting the pictures all around it with captions. This is fairly similar to scrapbooking, though.
My favorite is to make a memory box. Get a wooden box from the craft store and paint it white. Make color copies of your pictures and glue them all around the outside of the box, and type up some of your inside jokes and glue them on. Inside the box, put souveniers like dance or movie tickets, notes, etc.

Brittany719 answered Thursday November 25 2004, 12:14 pm: I have a great idea!! Make a portfolio with all your pictures starting with the oldest to the most recent.. Get construction paper and make each one have different designs on them and put the pictures on there with the pictures going at different angles. Then put all the papers inside of those clear sheet things with holes punched in the sides( they are called sheet protectors.. you can find them at walgreens or wal-mart) Then at the end put a most recent picture there with the both of you.. and then put a friendship quote at the bottom.. Hope I helped and good luck! [ Brittany719's advice column | Ask Brittany719 A Question ]

Then you can put all your pictures in there and write quotes, jokes, etc. next to, underneath or above the pictures. Design it however you would like to, go crazy! It'll look great when you are done. And if you have room left at the end of the book, you can just tell him that he can put in more pictures that he has or whatever to fill it up! Hope it turns out great :P [ aNgeLxfOrEvEr's advice column | Ask aNgeLxfOrEvEr A Question ]

They sell these really neat scrapbooks in stores that have places for you to put pictures and sayings and all kinds of stuff to get your creative energies flowing. I own one, myself. Have fun putting that together, whatever you decide to do!! [ ICE11BLUE's advice column | Ask ICE11BLUE A Question ]

Ryan answered Thursday November 25 2004, 2:49 am: Well you could put together a photo album with comments next to all the pics. Or buy a book with a bunch of blank pages and you can paste all the pics into it and write what you want next to everything like a diary. I hope i helped you out a little bit [ Ryan's advice column | Ask Ryan A Question ]
