Making a high school scrapbook is a lot like working on a project or assignment you had masses of in your school years. The main difference here is that you are not getting graded on it and with a little bit of luck this one is a load more fun!
Speaking of assignments... This brings me to my first bit of advice. You can re-use your old school projects in your school scrapbook. They are one of the best things to add into there. They are a great comparison of how you used to be in school.
Were you a fusspot, trying hard to get the highest grade possible or did you only just do sufficient to get you over the line? Either way, its a great way to show how you were at that stage to how you worked out now.!
Moving along to the next bit of advice: borders, borders and more borders! No, I am not talking about the chain of book stores, I'm talking about page borders. There are such a lot of different things you may use as a border. Try making your borders look like the side of a ruler, marking out inches or centimetres.
Or you might put your art abilities to use and copy a border from some of your old school art work. For a blast from the past, you can put a page border of the alphabet round the outside, with both the capital and lower case letters, just like those posters in grade school.
When considering how your book should appear, I really like to divide them up into subjects "chemistry, maths, english, history and the like. I've been told of folks dividing them up into year levels, so if that works better for you - go for it! These approaches will give you a lot of suppleness and the opportunity to be terribly creative with your decorations!
So if you use only one or two of these ideas, you can turn your C grade school scrapbook into an A+!
