Have you been meaning to start or finish a high school scrapbook? If you have, there's a fair chance you have run across one of the many problems that plague scrappers when undertaking one of those.

The good news is it doesn't have to be tough to overcome these issues and complete your album!

I have listed the most frequent issues scrappers encounter when putting together their school scrapbook :



I don't know where to begin!

I hear this a lot and its straightforward to understand why. School was a big part of your childhood. Probabilities are many of your present pals today were made in school. And with it spanning over a number of years, there are a LOT of memories you are going to need to capture in the one book.

I find its better to split the book up into 3 sections - the years when you started, your middle school years and then your last years - ending with your graduation!

This makes it a natural progression that is easily followed and set up.





I have thrown out all my old school stuff!


This might seem like a big problem at the beginning but listen to me its not as large as it seems.

There are a couple of simple, and fast things you can do to get your hands on some of your old school material.

First off most colleges have copies of their year level photos. A good number of these have digital/scanned in copies. You ought to be able to get in contact with your old school and get copies of these - there may be a little fee for this.

Get onto the Internet - if you have got a Facebook account, you should be able to find some of your old school classmates. Get in touch with them and ask if they have any of the old school stuff they do not want or use any more. I managed to get some good stuff this way.

Ultimately, go back to your old school. Tell them what you are doing and ask them if there are any materials they can part with. Old diaries, college newsletters and even a detention forms can actually add some real flavour to your next school scrapbook.

That's all for this article, remember keep an open mind when making your school scrapbook and you ought to be able to overcome any problem!

Keep an eye open for part two!
