scrapbooking

Making a high school scrapbook is an ideal way to keep safe all of the memories that you have picked up through your school years. When you come through to it, you will find that there are lots of college materials left over form your many years there.

With so many materials, it can be a bit overwhelming when attempting to think how to use all of them. I should know, I have been crippled by making choices before. There are some tricks I have to find a way around this:

Choose A Background

When starting a new page, I begin by finishing the background first and working my way up from there. Frequently I find the page practically sets itself out when you do it this way.

Here’s a few ideas for your school scrapbook background:

Use the pages from old textbooks as the backing. It is not like you’re going to use them any more and they are well out of date by now, so you can’t sell them back.

Get creative with your old art supplies and colour in your background for the art section of your album.

Use pages from your old school diary as a background, this truly adds some personality to your pages.

When thinking about what to put in as the primary content, look for stuff like class photos, notes you’ll have kept from class and old school newsletters.

One again, you can take pieces out of your diary I know mine had many great quotes and funny photos drawn in it.

You can also call your old school and see if they have any materials they might be throwing out or not using, and would be glad to give you.

Hopefully this has overcome any hurdles you might have had with your school scrapbook, having you on the way to your next masterpiece!
