A scrapbook can help organize -- and proudly display -- the steady stream of photographs, artwork, awards, and other keepsakes that accrue during a young person's school years. The pages are made from notebook paper (ruled and graph styles) secured to hole-punched card stock using double-sided tape. Years are printed with rubber stamps. Cut-out adhesive labels frame portraits. Embellishments, including a school flag made from card stock and a composition book (made from a reduced color photocopy of a real one), add texture. On the last page, the graduate is awarded a mini diploma -- the crafts store variety.
really a nice idea to keep things organized... not just somewhere and might misplaced or trashed when while we're too busy doing of some other things... thanks..
I did this for my two kids so when they visited their father in the summer, they would be able to have a show-off book. Their father didn't appreciate it but my daughter, who is now 23 with 2 stepkids is doing the same for them since they live in Germany and their mom lives in the States so apparently SHE thought it was a good idea as a kid. It's a good way to keep things organized too and not all over the place or on the refrigerator!
