Many families enjoy playing laser tag because it is an exciting way to spend time together. If this is an activity your family participates in regularly, you may have photos and mementos from these events that you would like to preserve so that your children can revisit them in the future. Scrapbooks are a creative way to preserve photos and mementos of life's most precious moments. Even with only the most basic supplies, you can create beautiful laser tag-themed scrapbook pages that are visually intriguing and subject-appropriate.

At many laser tag facilities, the game is played mostly in the dark; there are usually a number of glow-in-the-dark items or graphics around the arena for decoration and navigation purposes. Recreate this effect by composing your laser tag scrapbook pages on black construction paper. Use a sturdy photo glue to adhere your photos into place. Once your photos are in place, use craft supplies like glow-in-the-dark paints and highlighters to add glowing decorations to the page. The page will be visually intriguing in the light and your kids will have fun looking at their scrapbooks with a flashlight in the dark too.
Themed Scrapbook Pages
Many laser tag arenas are decorated around a certain theme, like space travel, jungle war or alien invasion. Similarly, you can use one of these themes to create your laser tag scrapbook pages. Adhere your photos to your craft paper of choice and decorate them according to your chosen theme. For a space theme, small plastic glow-in-the-dark stars are great, as are stickers, pictures and drawings of planets, aliens and spaceships. Using a theme to create a decorative scrapbook page will give the page flair and cohesiveness.
Laser Illusion Pages
The game of laser tag involves the use of lasers which are aimed and '"shot" at opponents to score points. The lasers are luminescent and colorful, and these characteristics can be easily recreated in visually exciting scrapbook pages. To create page decor that looks like lasers, feature a thick, black piece of construction paper as your scrapbook page and use neon-colored chalk, gel pens or even yarn to create straight lines randomly on the page. The lines should be of various lengths and angled in different directions to really give the page a laser feel. Create your laser lines before adhering your pictures to avoid marking on your photos.
Paint Splatter Pages
Laser tag is played in the dark and is an exhilarating mix of darkness and flashes of color. Play up these components of the game with splatter paint-themed pages. Using dark-colored paper and neon paints, splatter paint on your paper with a paintbrush. The paint will create intriguing patterns on the paper and, after it dries, you can apply your pictures and mementos with craft glue as normal. Splatter painting can be messy so this activity is best done outside where there will be less cleanup.
