Kids Scrapbook Albums Project | Nick Edition | Eighth Grade Graduation

Hello everyone and welcome back to our Kids Scrapbook Albums Project. We are creating a Hybrid Scrapbook Layout today to document Nick’s graduation from 8th grade. If you’d like to see more layouts from this project series, check out the link here: Larkindesign Kids Albums Project. Follow along with our process below!

For this layout, I am working with the Sahlin Studio Highs and Lows collection, which is the featured collection over on the site this month. This collection is a great choice for boy layouts with its blues and reds, and elements that go well for all children’s layouts.

I was first inspired by the striking patterned paper that points directly into the center of the page. This became the jumping off point for the whole design. I knew I wanted the journaling on the right hand side, so in Photoshop I opened up the background paper, and typed my words.

I knew I wanted my photos and embellishments to go on the left hand side, and I have loosely used an older template to inspire this page. This template is from March of 2019, and can be purchased along with other templates from last year here: Year Of Templates 19. The photos and journal cards are shown in the center, but I offset them to balance out the journaling.

The way they set up this ceremony made it hard to get a photo of him during the ceremony, but I had these two great photos that I love. One is with me, and the other is with his girlfriend at the time, Breanna. She has been in our layouts before! I still printed the photos in a vertical strip, which made it easier to adhere and keeps a cohesive look to the page. I also added a few tiny embellishments from Maggie Holmes for Crate Paper.

What a great page! Are you looking for more inspiration for your Kids Scrapbook Albums? Join us in the classroom, In My Pocket Kids Album Edition! This class was designed to help you plan, organize, and complete your kids scrapbook albums! See you again soon.
