🎒 Back-to-School Scrapbook Page Ideas ✏️
Fresh pages, fun punches, and pink-tiful memories!
It’s that time of year again—fresh notebooks, sharpened pencils, and brand-new backpacks! Back-to-school season is one of my favorite times to pull out my Creative Memories supplies and start documenting those special “first day” moments. Whether your little one is starting kindergarten or your college kid is moving into the dorms, here are fun and meaningful Back-to-School Scrapbook Page Ideas to spark your creativity. 💕
📸 1) Capture the “First Day” Essentials
- Before-school portrait: Use a chalkboard or letterboard sign with the date, grade, and teacher’s name.
- After-school photo: Embrace the messy hair and tired grin—great for side-by-side comparison!
- Frame it up: Try apples, pencils, or notebook-style patterned papers.
Pink tiful of LOVE Pick: Add a school-themed trim with the Border Maker System!
🎨 2) Showcase School Colors & Themes
- Coordinate your layout with school colors for instant harmony.
- Accent with mascots, banners, sports emblems, or a mini flag garland spelling the school name.
- Hide a schedule or locker combo in a small pocket or flip-up card.
🚌 3) Don’t Forget the Little Details
Back-to-school isn’t just about big photos—it’s about the tiny memories:
- Bus stop snapshots, new shoes, favorite lunchbox, or backpack charms.
- Tuck in class schedules, ID badges, mini art projects, or tiny envelopes for keepsakes.
- Add journaling strips with quotes: “I want to be a scientist!” or “Best friends forever.”
Tool Tip: Create tidy journaling strips with a trimmer and a 1/2" spacing guide.
📚 4) Create a “Then & Now” Layout
- Use one page for last year’s first day and one for this year’s.
- Highlight growth: height marks, handwriting samples, and favorite subjects.
- Leave room to add next year—watch the story evolve!
Try coordinating 12x12 paper packs so each year feels cohesive.
🎓 5) For the College Kids (and Big Kids at Heart)
- Document dorm move-in, campus landmarks, club fairs, and new friends.
- Layer ticket stubs, student IDs, syllabi, and campus maps for a “college collage.”
- Match your palette to the university—Boise State? Bring the blue + orange!
🖍️ Wrap-Up: Make It Yours!
Scrapbooking back-to-school pages is about more than paper and glue—it’s about celebrating milestones, personalities, and dreams. Every pencil smudge and sticker tells part of your family’s story. Grab your Creative Memories tools, your favorite Pink tiful of LOVE papers, and your sparkly pink pen—and make those memories shine! 💕
