Graduation Pages

"There is a good reason they call these ceremonies 'commencement exercises.' Graduation is not the end; it's the beginning". ~Orrin Hatch

We all know a school graduate or were one at one time. Milestones like education and trainings should be honored and celebrated. If you have graduation and special achievement pages to do this year, here are some great ideas! My May and June scrapbooking articles will be combined this time around. The special reason is that our son will be graduating this spring! Like all parents, we are proud of him and his accomplishments. This is a season for changes for so many people.

Whether you are graduating yourself and moving on with a degree or a loved one--like a child--is moving up, you can always use layout ideas for achievement and graduation. Kindergarten grads in their tiny caps and gowns deserve a cute page idea just like those older kids changing from the ranks of high school to a future in college or the wide world. Finishing job training or a college diploma are also to be celebrated. Whether you are concluding one phase of life or starting something new, take lots of photos! Celebrate your accomplishments.
