How To Make a High School Graduation Scrapbook Album
You may already have a school scrapbooking album for your child, but high school graduation memories can fill an entire scrapbook. Dedicate one album for this special occasion. It doesn't need to be a large album, but one that can accommodate professional portraits might be important if you plan to include the sittings for senior pictures. The summer before your child senior year of high school, he will usually sit for senior portraits. Those special pictures should have a page in a graduation album. 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. If your child is receiving a special award or honor at the graduation ceremony, be sure to design a page to highlight this accomplishment. Once the graduation is over, either include the original certificate in the album or make a copy. If your child is giving a speech at the ceremony, snap some pictures of him practicing for the speech. You can even save his draft or notes and use them on a scrapbook page. Did your local newspaper cover the graduation ceremony? Make copies of these articles for the scrapbook. Newspaper fades quickly. So you want to make photocopies. If you placed in a congratulations announcement in the paper, include this as well. There are so many photo opportunities during a graduation ceremony. Make a list of photos you want to take before the ceremony. Don't forget to include pictures of your child with his family, friends and teachers. 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. Create a special scrapbook page for the graduation ceremony program. Save at least 2 copies of it so you can show both the front cover and the inside on a page layout. 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 may want to include a copy of your graduate's final report card or grade transcripts. A nice complement to this would be a copy of the acceptance letter to the college he plans to attend. As a final closing page to a graduation scrapbook, design a page around a photo of him leaving for college. You might also choose to close the scrapbook with two photos that show how he has grown. Place a picture of his first day of kindergarten next to a graduation picture. A graduation scrapbook will become a family heirloom. You don't need to make it complicated. The most important part of a graduation scrapbook is to preserve and document your graduate's special day. -->
