Have you been meaning to start or finish a high school scrapbook? If you have, there's a fair chance you have run across one of the many problems that plague scrappers when undertaking one of those.
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 start!
I hear this a lot and its simple to understand why. College was a huge part of your adolescence. Possibilities are several of your current friends today were made in class. And with it spanning over twelve years, there are a LOT of memories you will want to capture in the one book.
I find its easier to split the book up into three sections - the years when you started, your middle school years and then your last years - finishing with your graduation!
This makes it a natural progression that is easily followed and set up.
I've 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.
Eventually, return to your former school. Tell them what you are up to and ask them if there are any materials they can part with. Used diaries, school newsletters and even a detention forms can really add some real flavor to your next school scrapbook.
That is all for this time, remember keep an open mind when making your school scrapbook and you should be able to overcome any problem!
Keep your eyes peeled for part two!
