Do You Have a High School Senior?

Denise Bell — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 10:26:00 +0000

By Denise Bell

Do you have a High School Senior this year? I do. As I think about the past seventeen years, I realize that they have flown by.

So, I know that the next few months will not last as long as I want them to. However, I am determined to capture the memory of my sons’ senior year and make it a year that our family will remember forever.

Maybe you would like to join me as I make a scrapbook page for every month of his Senior year.

I have decided that instead of just buying him an expensive gift or giving him money for college that I would like to present him with a surprise for his graduation.

A photo album that captures the activities and excitement of each month of the year. I am starting with Aug. 2011.

This is the month that my son had his Senior pictures taken and also his 18^th birthday month. Then I will continue to add photos and scrap them each month until I have a whole album to have printed and bound into an album.

I think that it will be fun to focus on his Senior pictures this month and then when he graduates in May I will take some more Senior pictures and compare any changes in stature, hair and so on. I can’t wait to make this idea a reality, but as you do, I hope that the months don’t go by too fast.

In September, I will scrap a page about his classes and friends and have more school shots so that he can remember these special memories of his Senior year.

I know that at the end of the school year I will all have a wonderful book full of memories to share with my graduate, and because I made it digitally, I can have several printed up too! One for me, one for him, and one for each of his grandparents! Then I will make a digital album and send to his friends and his Aunts and Uncles and other special family friends. Digital scrapbooking is wonderful because you scrap once and have some many ways to reuse the same scrap pages!

If you have a Senior this year, or child you want to scrap, then join me as I scrap one digital page per month! In the end we will have a wonderful album and preserved some special memories too!

Happy Scrapping

Denise

High School Graduation and More!

Denise Bell — Fri, 13 May 2011 10:17:00 +0000

Recently I found myself in panic mode when I realized that my oldest son will graduate from High School next year. He keeps reminding me is the simplest ways that he will be off to College next year.

The SAT, ACT have been taken and all of the colleges are sending him pamphlets. He says things like: next time I will (Oh, there won’t be a next time), or at this time next year I will be so relieved to be done and how about, I am so ready to be out of here. This is all natural and part of the growing up process I have to remind myself.

Some of my friends reminded me that this is a time to be cherished. Not for me, but for him. I have been looking for ways that I can celebrate along with him, ways that will last long after the celebration of graduation is over. Ways that as a mother and son we can look back and celebrate the progression of our lives. Ways that we can celebrate the “becoming” of who we are supposed to become.

I had to enjoy a good laugh as my daughter shared this experience. She has a friend that has a mother that is one of the most popular teachers at the High School they attend. On this girls birthday her mother brought a camera and started taking pictures of everything and everyone at the school. She pulled lots of different groups of people together to take pictures. These shots are priceless. As I look at them on Facebook, I can see the embarrassment on this girls face as her mother tells everyone to smile for the camera. I can see that everyone else in the picture is enjoying being caught in a shot that will become a very fun memory for this girl and her mother in the future. I decided immediately that since my husband also works at the school that I would have him do this on our kids birthdays. What a fabulous way to preserve memories. Now, I realize that not everyone has a parent that works at the school. Why not have a trusted friend of your child’s take pictures around campus that day. Then you can put a terrific birthday scrapbook together for your child. I think that this is a fabulous way of celebrating.

My son also is going through sadness over that fact that most of his best friends that are a year older than he is will be graduating this year. I half jokingly remind him that this just gives him a greater opportunity to meet and date the younger girls. As would be expected, this only gives him small comfort. His very best friend for the past six years has been a girl that will graduate and is moving away right after High School. I know that his heart will be empty without her constant positive attitude, priceless ability to make him feel important, and her creative mind that seems have an endless amount of fun activities that she plans and includes so many people in.

She gave me a great idea of how to celebrate with him. For Christmas this year she brought him a collage of pictures of them together. She included many different activities. One of my favorites was the picture of him escorting her (the Homecoming Queen) as she took her royal walk down the isle in front to the school. Another was a picture of a group of them making cookies. Another picture was disappointing to me as I couldn’t tell what it was, but he quickly explained the memory to me. The picture was dark and I could only see shadows, but it was obviously a fun memory for him as he knew just what it was. (One idea fix your photos – get some training for that!)

As a mom I began thinking that it is important for us “moms” to remind our kids to take lots of pictures of their High School Activities. That way, these celebrations will be preserved and there will be enough pictures that we won’t have to count on the shadowy ones. Maybe, however, if we do have a shadowy picture, we can lighten it with our Photoshop magic. I am going to give it a try.

This year I will make sure my son has a camera on hand, cell phones work well. I am also going to start the celebration pictures earlier with my other children.

Hopefully this article will give you a couple of new ideas to help you celebrate who you and your children are becoming.

Smile for the camera!

Happy Graduation, and Scrapping!

“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” ~ John Dewey

“Education has for its object the formation of character.” ~ Hebert Spencer

“Education has for its object the formation of character.” ~ George Bernard Shaw

“A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that ‘individuality’ is the key to success.” ~ Robert Orben

“A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.” ~ Francis Bacon

“All our dreams can come true…if we have the courage to pursue them.”
~ Walt Disney

“All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.” ~ Brian Tracy

More of YOU in Your Year Book!

Jennifer Barlow — Wed, 13 May 2009 15:38:47 +0000

At the end of the year, it’s so exciting to get our Yearbooks! I don’t know about you, but I’d always go through and look through for photos of myself. I’d flip through the pages, hunt through the book, and look for myself and special familiar faces. It kind of reminded myself of the kids books “Where’s Waldo” where you look through a mess of a page to find this awkward guy named “Waldo” with the striped red and white shirt somewhere hidden within the page and book…

I could expect to see myself in certain photos- sports, clubs, and school hobby pics- but it was always so exciting to find a random photo here or there of myself or some of my friends in a place I never expected, or a photo I never even realized was shot! Yearbooks are a lot of fun and a great way to reminisce over another year successfully completed.

But in addition to the regular school Yearbook, how fun would it be to create your OWN YEARBOOK? I say, why not do it this year! Make your own Yearbook filled with the fun stuff… the things you really care about! You could create your own photo book of you and your friends: some of the pics you shot at lunch, after school activities, soccer games and band practice! You could create your own book with tons of photos specifically of you and the people that were especially special to you so that you could look back at the year and all the things that you have done, friends you’ve made, and just create something special to remind yourself about how much you’ve grown!

To make your own Yearbook, compile a bunch of school photos- as many as you possibly can- of you, your friends, even pics of your parents and family members at some of the school functions they attended for you.

Next, your going to need to digitally scrap them. If you’re not sure how to start Digital Scrapbooking, it’s SUPER-EASY! Try out the Getting Started Series Digital Scrapbooking CD which not only introduces you and familiarizes you with Adobe Photoshop Elements, but it also dives into Digital Scrapbooking and makes it really easy to learn. By knowing how to digitally scrap, you can combine your photos with pretty papers and embellishments and even add notes and comments about the people in the photo and any special (or funny) memories that go along with it!

After you scrap your own Yearbook Pages, turn them into a physical book, by sending your digital scrapbooking pages to an Online Printing Company. Lesson 6 within the Getting Started Series Digital Scrapbooking Training teaches all about saving and printing- it also reviews how to use an Online Printer to make things- such as Yearbooks and Photo Books!

Why not create a Yearbook that will be even more personalized, and even more special to rummage through… with a lot more YOU! Even bring it to school and ask your friends and teachers to sign your customized Yearbook in addition to your regular one! And although you won’t get extra credit in school for making a second Yearbook, you’ll at least have a lot of fun and create something that might be a lot more meaningful to you!

Happy Scrapping,

Jennifer
