scrapbooks
Pasted memento collections
Scrapbooks are blank books for preserving and displaying mementos—photographs, newspaper clippings, ticket stubs, pressed flowers, handwritten notes.
The practice involves arranging these items on pages, often with decorative elements.
As a verb, to scrapbook is to create such collections: She spent the afternoon scrapbooking her vacation photos.
