Buy some construction paper, stickers, stampers, and markers or crayons. Create a handmade birthday card using some of your favorite greetings or create your own. Decorate your card with stickers, stamps, glitter, and markers.
Take some favorite photos from the birthday person. Decide on a theme such as family, friends, or birthday, etc. Use some construction paper or decorated paper that you can buy at the scrapbook store. Find some stickers to match the theme. Add a small story or description to go with the page and add to it. Create a scrapbook page that you might put into a book, and then frame it. This would make a great keepsake that can be displayed anywhere in the home or even as an office desk decoration.
