Scrapbooking Ideas for a High School Gradutaion Gift

Creating a scrapbook for a High School Graduation Gift can be an exciting project! In fact, it could also be a bit overwhelming... so here are a few themes to help you document these important years. I'm sure they'll spark your own ideas so you can create one or even two scrap books as a High School Graduation Gift.

Senior Year Major Milestones aka "Firsts"

This may be obvious - first day of school, first prom, first car - but don't forget the some of the other great "firsts." If they're an athlete, include the first day of practice and the first game, or the first time they hit a home run. If they're involved in the arts... first project, first play practice, first performance. And when creating these pages, don't forget to include programs, announcements, invitations and other mementos of these special "firsts."

Things I Learned In High School

This scrap book will be an interesting way to chronicle their entire High School experience. It can be serious... or fun... you decide! You could have pages for their sports or other extracurricular activities. Showcase a special project they did... or an article that was published in the school newspaper. Were they involved as a volunteer or were they in Scouting... include that too. And don't forget to copies of tests and homework assignments... these are really fun!

What High School Graduation Means To Me

For this book, you'll interview your teen and ask them for their ideas. They could help you pick the style, color theme... maybe even the paper and card stock. Have them create some of the journaling pieces and add to those you and other family members will contribute. Also remember to ask your teen about their hopes, dreams and goals. These will make very interesting pages too.

My BFF - Best Friends Forever!

Remembering high school friends is one of the fondest memories most of us have of our high school years. So help you teen remember their Best Friends Forever by creating a scrap book of pictures of them and their friends. If possible, leave space in the book for the friends to add their own comments... kind of like the old fashioned Autograph books their parents had!

Mini Album of the College Selection Process

Not every scrapbook needs to be 20 pages! You can easily create a mini scrapbook of 4 - 6 pages... the perfect size to document their college selection process. Include brochures, pictures and maybe even their application letter.
