How to make a School Scrapbook


How to make a School Album:

1. Start with a Creative Memories Album
or any album but I love Creative Memories albums because they are
photo-safe, high quality, and they are Made in the U.S.A.


2. Choose either White Refill Pages
Or Fast2Fab Refill Pages
Fast2Fab Refills are pre-designed so all you do is add your photos. 
You can add additional embellishments as desired but it's not necessary if you don't have the time or desire. It's the same price as plain Refill Pages so it's like getting all the paper and decorations for free!

There are lots of different designs available, for a school album I recommend 
this Fast2Fab "Essentials" Refill Pack:

3.  Print your Photos

Suggested photos to print/memorabilia to collect:
a. First Day of School
b.  Last Day of School
c.  Photo with teacher
d. Special Events (such as jog-a-thon, harvest festival, science fair)
e. Sports team and individual photo
f. Music recital or any other extracurricular activity they enjoyed that year
g. sample of their handwriting
h. art project (since these tend to be extra large, I take a photo of the art and put that in their scrapbook)
i. friend pictures
j. a picture of their class
k. favorite foods
l. ribbons or certificates
etc.

4. Gather your supplies
My suggested favorites are:

Personal Trimmer

Tape Runner Adhesive:
If you want to get creative and add some paper, stickers and embellishments, 
here is a fun Essentials Collection to get started with:


Of course, I highly suggest you get some Creative Memories pens
to write down important dates and reflections
5. Have fun!
Stick your photos into the album
You can do each page by theme or you can do your album chronologically,
there is no "right" way to do it.
You will love having your child's school memories all in one place!
It is super fun when your child graduates from high school to have these albums out on display. I can't tell you how many of my daughter's friends commented how they wished they had a scrapbook like that! Especially when you can see the progression of time by flipping through the pages. The photo journaling is so fun to read too!

6. If you're still feeling creative, you can use your leftover scraps for more projects at home or for the classroom, teacher gifts, etc...  The possibilities are endless once you get started.



I hope you enjoyed these ideas.
