SCHOOL SCRAPBOOK LAYOUT
Making a school scrapbook layout was an inevitability once I saw this great paper from K & C. It's so good I almost felt guilty sticking photos on it at all.

RELIEF
This unusual and attractive 12 x 12 sheet from K & C has texture similar to a relief map. That's lost on the web of course. But there's no shame in letting a paper set the agenda for your layout, if that paper's design is so well in tune with your theme.
SCROLL DOWN
Although I didn't want to overembellish (did that enough in exams) I thought a scroll might fit the bill. Vellum is ideal for this, and I dressed it with red ribbon from Essential Craft.
SUBJECT OF TRANSFERS
These rub-on transfers are from Papermania, and I used the same blue Bazzill Basics cardstock for the 'subject tags' as I did for the photo matting. Rub-on transfers directly on to a photo don't work too well. Won't be trying that one again!
WHO ARE THOSE GUYS?
Well the dodgy looking teacher in the mortar board (do teachers still wear those?) is me at 45. I'd left school by then after several retakes. Then that's me aged 10 in the black and white look - popular at the time. My children - my son looking like a coloured-in version of me - are in the 'gold star' section.
OTHER SUBJECTS?
Well, I guess you could always rely on the ol' faithful 'First Day at School' - although I ended up using my one photo of this occasion in a wedding layout. Go figure!

Then again, you can always have a go at a
Prom scrapbook layout
. Where are all those guys today?!
