Making a high school scrapbook is no small feat. You've got to compress four years of memories and experiences into one album.
While you'll have all of the material on hand, you do not want it to come out looking like a school assignment - boring and plain.
To get your creative juices flowing, here's a few concepts for the most common school subjects.
English
English is completely full of little one line rules. These can make for a great filler for any spare or blank spaces on your page. "I before E except after C" and "Its, It's and It is" are merely a couple of many english rules you are able to add to your albums.
When thinking about borders, what about cutting up an old english essay and using the single lines to make a border around the edges of the page? If you do not want to cut up an old essay, you can always copy it out by hand.
Mathematics
Section out your pages using different maths processess. For example you could make a large triangle on the page and put an 'X ' in one corner - I will wager this will make folks remember their trigonometry lessons from years and years ago.
You can always add numbers and simple equations to add some life to the page.
Science
Ahh the land of beakers and test tubes.
If you want to do something a little different with your science pages, you can make a copy of the periodic table and fill the different elements with images of your class mates, notes you took in class and the grades you received for your science assignments.
You can also add some flair to your page by drawing stick figures doing the experiments you might have done in your old science classes.
Well, I am hoping thats given you a couple ideas of what you can do for different sections of your high school scrapbook.
Till next time, good luck and happy scrapping.
