Making a high school scrapbook is a lot like working on a project or assignment you had masses of in your school years. The main difference here is that you are not getting graded on it and with a little bit of luck this one is a load more fun!
Speaking of assignments... This brings me to my first point. You can re-use your old school work in your school scrapbook. They are one of the perfect things to add into there. They are definitely a great snapshot of how you used to be at school.
Were you a stickler, attempting to get the highest grade possible or did you just do just enough to get you over the line? Either way, its a good way to show how you were at that time to how you're now!
Moving along to the subsequent bit of information: borders, borders and more borders! No, I'm not talking about the chain of book stores, I am talking about page borders. There are so many different things you can use as a border. Try making your borders look like the side of a ruler, marking out inches or centimetres.
Or you could put your art talents to good use and reproduce a border from some of your old school art work. For a blast from past times, you can put a page border of the alphabet around the outside, with both the capital and lower case letters, just like those posters in elementary school.
When thinking about how your book should appear, I like to divide them up into subjects "chemistry, mathematics, english, history and so on. I have heard of other folks dividing them up into year levels, so if that works better for you - go for it! These approaches will give you a lot of flexibility and the chance to be very creative with your decorations!
So if you use just a few of these ideas, you can turn your C grade school scrapbook into an A+!
