Have you been meaning to start or finish a high school scrapbook? If you have, there's a good chance you have faced one of many issues that plague scrappers when undertaking one of these.
The uplifting news is it does not need to be hard 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 begin!
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 better to split the book up into 3 sections - the years when you started, your middle school years and then your last years - ending 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 look like a real problem at the beginning but believe me it is not as huge as it may seem.
There are a couple of simple, and fast things you can do to get your hands on some of your old school material.
Firstly , most schools have copies of their year level pictures. A fair number of these have digital/scanned in copies. You should be easily be able to make contact with your former school and get copies of these - there could be a small charge 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!
Keep your eyes peeled for part two!
