It's neat to see pics of your family together - you all are so darn beautiful! Great design and I love all of the polka dots! Neat repetition of the stars too. I hear you with the lack of grad/school related scrapbook stuff - it's all too cutesy or just weird! Maybe that's why I haven't scrapped any graduations or school pics. Guess I should just be like you and DO IT! Thanks for the push! :)
I love that it's all about the moment (ceremony and family). It's a great lo and the smiles on your faces tell the real story of pride and joy. You created a GREAT lo using your stash - BE PROUD!
Well, you did not need any more embellishments, you did a great job with what you had. Same thing happened to me when my daughter did her first holy communion. all blurry pictures, but hey, we need the scrap the memory, even if the picture is not perfect, the event is.
Here are photos from my son's High School Graduation back in June 2014.
I took a lot of photos of the ceremony but all of them came out blurry! This was back in the days when I still used a real camera. I remember being so frustrated that day, while also still trying to enjoy the moment, because no matter what settings I used on my camera I could not get a clear photo! For that reason I took a lot of photos. And the fact that I took a lot of photos* and the fact that they were pretty much all blurry is why I never scrapped this event (*in general too many photos of one event overwhelms me)!
Well, it's 5 years later and I decided that even though it's blurry I was going to at least scrap the most important photo of the day: Joseph receiving his diploma. And then I added the photos that Madison, David, and I took w/ him after the ceremony. There were other people there that day also but I wanted this layout to be mainly about us: our core family. Maybe someday I'll go back and scrap a few of the other photos, but I'm not going to make it a priority.
I didn't have any graduation themed embellishments. I didn't even really have any school themed embellishments! And since I'm trying to use my stash instead of buying more stuff, I decided to just work w/ what I had. The only "graduation" themed item I have on this layout is the "Graduation Hat" geo tag stamp from the Kelly Purkey "Home Town" stamp set (see second photo). And I found a really old school sticker from back when I first started scrapbooking: peep that "reading, writing, arithmetic" book stack sticker.
So yeah, not a whole lot of school themed items here, but that's okay.
I'm fairly certain that the title, celebratory embellishments, plus of course the photos, make it pretty clear what the theme of the layout is!
