“…The occupations of art making, photography, and writing are blended in creating scrapbooks, a popular craft activity. Reports of therapeutic scrapbooking involve both children (Lowenstein, 1995;Romero, 1986;Williams & Lent, 2008) and adults (Kohut, 2011). Most reports of scrapbooking in the NICU have described both traditional media (Beach, 2008;Schwarz, Fatzinger, & Meier, 2004;Walby, 2004) and digital scrapbooks (Subhani, 2013;Subhani & Kanwal, 2012).…”
