Here are a couple of photo ideas for your family to enjoy!
Scrabble Tile Photos...have a LOT of small photo images and you don't want to take the time to enlarge them all? Crop them into squares and make a creative scrabble board design! Add letters to spell out your page theme. This layout would make a great 'Opening' title page for a vintage or modern family album!:
How about a scrabble board? With words to describe your family or important principles your family cherishes?

Or hang an old frame from a tree and have each family step on up for their turn.
DIY Photo Booth - Would love to do this at our next family reunion!:
Well this is an original idea! Never seen this kind of photo booth before...how neat!
