How To Make A High School Graduation Scrapbook Album
Is your child graduating this year? The time seems to go by so fast. It often seems like only yesterday that our graduates started kindergarten. Now they are graduating high school and will be off to college by fall. It’s important to preserve and document those special final moments of high school in a graduation scrapbook. Consider these graduation album tips and scrapbooking layout ideas.
Even if you already have a school scrapbooking album for your child, the high school years can fill an entire album. You don’t need to use a large album unless you want to include professional senior portraits. Otherwise, you can use a smaller format album.
Senior pictures are usually taken the summer before a student’s senior year. Still, they deserve a page in a graduation album. Use your favorite pose or the one used in the high school yearbook for your graduation scrapbook’s title page.
There’s so much to include in a graduation scrapbook. Reserve one copy of your child’s graduation announcement and showcase it on a page. Following that page, include cards and letters from family and friends, especially ones with graduation advice. You might even include a letter from you with a personal message to the graduate. Write your hopes and dreams for their future along with advice you wish you would have been given on graduation day.
Is your child receiving an honor or award at the graduation ceremony? Design a page layout to highlight this accomplishment. After the ceremony is over, make a copy to include in the album.
If your child is giving a speech at the graduation ceremony, take some photographs of the graduate preparing and practicing the speech. Preserve his notes including any drafts and use them on a scrapbook page. You could also use part of the speech as a title for a layout, and don’t forget to include some graduation quick quotes scrapbooking.
Newspapers often cover graduations. Clip articles from your local paper for a graduation scrapbook page. If you or another family member have placed a congratulations newspaper ad for your graduate, make a photocopy of it to preserve it in the album. Newspaper articles tend to fade over time, and copies will last longer.
Before the celebration even starts, make a list of the photo opportunities you don’t want to miss. Photographs of your graduate with family, teachers and friends are as important as pictures of the actual ceremony.
Include high school mementoes in the scrapbook album. One page layout should show the graduation ceremony program. Scrapbook two copies on the page showing both the cover and the inside as much as possible.
Send a camera with your graduate to any graduation parties. Then you’ll have a lot of candid shots of your child with his friends. Try to exchange photos with his friends too. Sharing photos will give you a lot more options for your scrapbook graduation pages.
You should definitely include a copy of your child’s final report card or transcript. A nice complement to the scrapbooking page would be a copy of the college acceptance letter he received from the college he plans to attend.
For the final page of the graduation scrapbook, create a special page layout highlighting a photograph of your child leaving for college. You could even place a picture of your child on his first day of kindergarten next to a graduation photograph.
It’s easy to create a graduation scrapbook that will soon become a family heirloom. The most important part of designing a graduation scrapbook is to document and preserve your child’s high school memories.
