Samplers take their name from the French Essamplaire and the Latin Exemplarium meaning example. Samplers where first used to record examples of stitches and were sewn on small lengths of cloth. As time went by they became a teaching tool, teaching young girls the art and discipline of needlework.

If you are a big preserver of memories like me, you may also want to make scrapbook based on photos. If you're a beginner and you have PowerPoint, you can easily create a digital scrapbook with it.
