Graduation is a very good theme for use in a scrapbook. Give yourself enough time to gather what you need to include, even if it takes several months or years. A comprehensive book could be made if you collected material for it over several years. You and your child could work together on the album, or it could be your secret project. Your scrapbook could be created as a traditional scrapbook or you could make a digital scrapbook.
Your collection of memories will be something you and your child can enjoy for years to come. Snapshots of special moments in your child’s and family’s past few years are the key ingredients to cherished memory book.
Graduation themes are available in scrapbook papers and in digital scrapbook kits. A variety of images can be used by printing out pictures, illustrations or clip art. Prevent damage or deterioration and discoloration of the photos and other memorabilia in your scrapbook by using archival safe paper and glue.
The most personal things you can add make the album more interesting such as: iinformation about your child’s participation in clubs and hobbies or news articles about your child - and even a personal note about something you remember about them. Copies of report cards or any special awards are other possibilities to use. Ask your child’s teachers, friends or family for personal notes from them to add. Also, any personally written notes about your dreams and wishes for them are nice to include. Scanning items such as these would be ideal if you plan to make a digital scrapbook.
Additonal ideas: Make a special page for school photos from high school or middle school. School events or prom night mementos. Embellish the pages with graduation stickers to add more interest. Dedicate a page for each year, such as: freshman, sophomore, junior and senior. Add die cuts as accents. You can find die cuts or paper shapes with pictures and themes that illustrate hobbies, sports, or music, and use them as scrapbook embellishments. These can be bought at art, craft and scrapbook supply stores.)
Save pages for photos of all the graduation events, parties and the ceremony. Reserve room for announcements or invitations to the graduation ceremony. For a digital scrapbook, you can use different fonts to add photo captions; in a paper scrapbook, use hand-written captions.
Pick out a nice binder or scrapbook album to keep the graduation scrapbook pages in. Report cards, awards, school photos and/or certificates will need to fit in your album; be sure to buy one big enough.
After graduation, when the diploma arrives, you might include a copy of it in the album. It’s worth remembering, so plan your graduation album and keep it up-to-date. A graduation memory book with all the personal items, photos and notes wil make a gift that is treasured. And those memories are the kind you want to keep and share forever.
