Are you planning a graduation scrapbook for your favorite student? So how are you going to go about scrapbooking your graduate? Maybe an album of the high spots of school life up to graduation? Or some well crafted scrapbooking pages of graduation day to include in a family album? Some combination of each?

(Uh-oh, I've just re-read that - I may have used the wrong phrase in connection with teenagers who are always paranoid about 'spots' appearing at the wrong time - remember it well! You may want to substitute 'high points' or some such other phrase! lol)

Even if graduation is just days away, it's still possible to make a themed graduation scrapbook for your student. However, at this stage in the game you'll be looking for some quick-make graduation scrapbooking ideas rather than recording the whole school career.

But let's step back a second. The rush is on only if you want to present the scrapbook as a graduation gift. If not there is not quite the same hurry. And don't forget, for many student there will be graduations at several levels as they progress. The most popularly celebrated are high school graduation, and of course, university, but many junior schools now hold graduation ceremonies. So your scrapbooking opportunities are multiplying...

However, if you are already drowning in all the preparations for marking this significant day in your child's life then make it easy on yourself (and everyone else around you) by deciding that scrapbooking this job can wait just a little longer. After all, it's waited all this time! You will be more satisfied with the result if you do it when things are less stressful, you'll probably do a better job of it; and you'll be less stressed for having one less thing to do before the big day.

That said there are some options if you've set your heart on giving this particular gift, and if you have to move fast to get it ready to present to your graduate, here's one of our graduation scrapbook ideas which could be a life-saver for you...
