In my dnd group, we go all into the arts and crafts, mostly in the form of character journals. For instance, we take normal white binders, get discount leather at hobby lobby, and cover the binders in leather. Then we make the stat sheets out of scrapbook paper. Then we make things based on our characters and their past experiences to go into the journals. Does anyone else go this detailed into their character journals? Is it weird? XD I'd be very interested to hear what everyone does!
Mine isn't scrapbooky, but I do have a journal for one of my characters, chronicling the adventures of the party from her point of view. It's all electronic but it includes some scanned drawings, various other images that matched the items or scenes, etc.
Weird or not I've learned a lot from doing it and have definitely leveled up my writing and drawing skills. Sometimes I worry that it feels a little overly Extra but I do it for my own enjoyment, and I share it with the rest of the table. I think at least the DM appreciates it, and maybe not every player but some do.
Mine is also just digital and does not involve scrapbooking, but technically speaking I do still keep a journal yes. We even use a fake calendar, so I keep track of the dates that way.
