Preserving Memories

When I was in Grade 6 I changed schools and was quite sad at leaving so many friends behind. I have always loved collecting my memories and turning them into things that I can look at and remember good times, that is why I absolutely scrap booking =)!. What I came up with 11 years ago I still have with me today and it reminds me of all those wonderful friendships that have withstood the test of time. Well you must be wondering what I am rambling on about…

Sentimental about School

The days we spend in high school are usually the best ones in our life, and once you have passed those golden years behind it really helps if you have something that takes you back to that time so that you can relive some of those memories. Even though time machines have not been built just yet we do have scrapbooks to preserve our memories and capture the flavor of days gone by.

The scrapbook that I am sharing with you today is one that I made of my high school days. Concerts, Fundraisers, tough exams, parties, science projects, school council elections and impromptu get-togethers are all captured in this book.

I have used a number of different techniques on these pages and I will describe some of them here. Try these out and let me know how your pages turned out.
