Sponsored LinksHave you been meaning to start or finish a high school scrapbook? If you have, there’s an even chance you have encountered one of the numerous problems that plague scrappers when undertaking one of those.
The good news is it doesn’t have to be tough to overcome these issues and complete your album!
I have listed the most frequent issues scrappers encounter when putting together their school scrapbook :
I don’t know where to start!
I hear this a lot and its easy to understand why. High school was a massive part of your youth. Chances are a number of your present pals today were made at college. And with it spanning over many years, there are a LOT of memories you’ll want to capture in the one book.
I find its simpler to split the book up into 3 sections – the years when you started, your middle school years and then your last years – winding up with your graduation!
This makes it a natural progression that is easily followed and set up.
I have thrown out all my old school stuff!
This might seem like a big problem at the beginning but listen to me its not as large as it seems.
There are a couple of simple, and fast things you can do to get your hands on some of your old school material.
First off most colleges have copies of their year level photos. A good number of these have digital/scanned in copies. You ought to be able to get in contact with your old school and get copies of these – there may be a little fee for this.
Get onto the Web – if you have a Facebook account, you ought to be capable of finding some of your former school mates. Get in contact with them and ask if they have any of the old school stuff they don’t want or use any more. I was able to get some nice stuff this way.
Finally, pay a visit to your former school. Tell them what you are up to and ask them if there are any materials they can part with. Class diaries, school newsletters and even a detention forms can truly add some real spice to your next school scrapbook.
That’s all for this article, remember keep an open mind when making your school scrapbook and you ought to be able to overcome any problem!
