College Graduation Photo Idea!

photo credit: Sam Schneiter Photo

My daughter recently graduated from college! I am so proud of her!

Here is a fun photo shoot idea that her and her friends created.

She wants to make a scrapbook of her college memories.

I am happy that she wants a scrapbook.

I think I know where she can get one.

Wink, Wink.

How to use templates in Scrapbooking

If you like getting creative and crafty with your scrapbook layouts but are out of ideas, you will love the many options of using templates to plan your layouts. 

You can purchase the Wildflower Recipe Template on my website:  creativememories.com/user/donnalyn

Here is a fun video on how to use the template (for you crafty scrapbookers - enjoy!):



Personally, I prefer using Fast2Fab albums because the pages are already decorated and I just add my photos....but I know not everyone likes to 'conform' to the design. Here's a sample of what pre-decorated pages look like:

Whatever method you prefer...
