Do You Make These Common High School Scrapbooking Mistakes?



by Janette Miller


A scrapbook is the perfect way to save the memories of your high school years. When its done right, its is a great thing to read though and relive some of your highs and lows of your time in the education system.

Nevertheless, its easy to fall into a couple of traps that will turn your high school scrapbook into something less than desirable. To make certain this doesn't occur, I have put together some easy to follow guidelines:





Don't include too many negative things



We all had bad experiences in school. A few of us were trouble makers who could not avoid detention, some didn't get along well with teachers or other students and some just did not do any homework.



Regardless of what your case may be , do not let your book become the focus of this. By all means, include it, simply don't don't go overboard!



Don't try and cram too much into one album



Some individuals discover that they simply can't fit all of their experiences into one album or that they have enough materials to fill two or three books.



Do not feel like that if you make a high school scrapbook that you can't make another one. If there is too much material to go into one book, then split it into a second album. Maybe your early years and later years.



Not Including Photos Of Other People



Its great that you have a lot of photos of yourself in your book, but remember to include photos of other people. You aren't the only one that went your college!



Ensure that you include pictures of your friends, class mates and teachers (if you can find any).



Also, if you can, get pictures of the buildings, class rooms or assembly halls - you will be surprised when you can't remember what they looked like after a couple of years.

Keep these guidelines under consideration and you're sure to make a high school scrapbook that you and your friends will adore!
