Make an A+ School Scrapbook
Making a school scrapbook is a superb idea and a hot subject for many scrapbooking fans. This is probably because most people’s college years helped define them into the individual they are right now through all the drama, events, pals, awards and punishments.
With school being such a fundamental part of what shaped you to be the person you are today, it’s important that you capture those feelings in your album. On top of this, many faculties send parents many great scrapbooking materials, on a nearly weekly basis.
First off, most colleges have a newsletter that gets sent out on a regular basis. If there’s a major event that went on at school, it’ll be covered in the newsletter. New buildings, big awards and sport groups winning will be covered in newsletters. So be sure to cling on to them for your school scrapbook.
School diaries are also another good source of material. In them you may find lists of homework, notices from teachers to parents, your ( or your child’s ) doodles and scribbles and so on. Skipping through the pages will yield some things that you will definitely wish to put into your book.
At this point its vital to note that college is not unvaryingly high grades and success, at some particular point nearly everyone has gotten a bad grade (or heaven forbid, a lot of bad grades), detentions or notes home to elders. Don’t leave these out! Some scrapbookers only want to remember the great times and have a look at their memories through rose colored glasses, but you’ll only really capture the swings and roundabouts of your college years if you include the bad times with the good. It will add a fairly authenticity to your school scrapbook that’s hard to capture.
Snaps are your next stop. Its around school age that people start getting snap happy. Take your photo albums, blow the dust off and go through them. You will find some pictures of you (or your children) in a school uniform and lots of ones with college buddies in them. To mix it up a little bit if you have pics of them now, put them both in your book as a snapshot of then vs now.
Last but not least, do not forget to add in any awards that you or you kids may have won. Whether its a sporting victory, maths competition, spelling bee, science award – or maybe just when you were given a gold star on your homework, add it into your school scrapbook. Make sure that you celebrate both the highpoints and lowpoints.
When your book is complete, it should be a colourful celebration of your great and not so great moments. A true testament of what made you the individual you are today!
And as usual, happy scrapping.
