Need help with scrapbook page...

24 years ago

...three teachers are retiring at the end of the school year at our elementary school. My mission is to create a page for each teacher from the educational assistants for a memory book. The size area I have to work with is just about 4"x6". It needs to be flat so that it will fit between a cardboard frame and be put in the memory book. All three pages can be the same, so something generic would be great as they teach different grades. Two of the teachers have taught at our school since day one, almost 18 years ago, and the third came a while later. Some suggestions already have been some kind of picture or to create a poem. Please let me know any creative ideas you might have. I have until May 1st to come up with something. Thanks so much for your help.

How about: spell out each of there names and for each letter write something special about that person.
ex. Mrs.
S is for her smile every morning
M is for her Math wisdom
I is for her intuitive nature
T is for teaching from the heart
H is for happiness she brings to the students..
kind of corny but you get the idea..

Hi Alice,
As a recently retired elementary teacher, one idea that I really liked in the memory book I was given was pictures of other teachers and staff from my school. Since you want your page to be from a group of assistants, perhaps you could take a group picture in a favorite school location or near the classroom of the retiring teachers and include comments about memories around the framed photo. Good luck with your project.

Thanks Linda in Georgia for the url,I love her graphics.They sort of remind me of D J Inkers which is so cute but pricey.I love to use clipart off the internet and put on floppy disks to save until I need the graphic and or sayings and then put on page and print.I have been back to www.jangle.com and www.dMarie.con as they are 2 of my favorite scrapbooking websites to visit.

But is it safe to use pages that you print from your computer??? I am just barely getting started in with scrapbooking (I have some supplies but haven't sat down to actually put a page together) but I thought you had to have acid free and I was told so far there isn't any acid free ink for computers.

I started back in 97 when my dd was born- today she turns 9! I did her baby book and it was ok. Then I discovered Creative Memories and all the stuff out there. I redid her pages- thanks to double prints- and it is much nicer. I used to use a 3-ring binder and page protectors from office supply store. I used solid paper as my page. I used some stickers and a little journalling. I have since taken all those pages and put them into CM albums. Now I use the regular white pages and use the colored paper for frames or accent strips. To organize and make things go faster I use an easy method. I have a binder with sleeves in it. When I develop film I separate in dated or event order. Then I divide by what pics would fit on a page. I drop those pics into sleeves. Then I take paper that matches the pics and drop it in the sleeve. I may put some stickers in there too. Then when I go to scrap, I just grab a sleeve and work that page. I have already picked out the stuff for the page, just need to assemble. Unfortunatly, I have a digital camera now. It was so easy to develop film and then sort out the pics. Now I have to download onto a CD, take to a place or use an online service. I have not done this yet, which explains why I have over 600 pics to print, and at least half I need doubles of- one for my dd and one for my ds albums. One nice thing about digital is that I can print only what I need, so I may print all my dd birthday pics for her album, but only print a few for my son to have in his. Hey soggy6- aren't you the one with the pool that had plaster then switched to ptec after a crack or something? Are you going to, or do you know about, the event at Newburg Hall down by Sac State on 4/29? My CM gal and her friends are having an all-day event. After spending last year doing the build, it will be nice to spend a day scrapping. I am taking all our vacation pics- the ones before we had kids- and getting them all into albums. Won't be super fancy like my kids books. The goal is to have them in an album instead of not.

You might find out what her interests are, hobbies, culture etc. Is she interested in nature, decorating, traveling? Start listing some of these and you will get more than enough ideas to fill a page. Also look at the Memory scrapbooking magazine. That one has a ton of good ideas.

Here is a short poem for you:
There where many jobs that would have paid you much more, but cash was not the only thing that you worked for. You saw you were needed and willingly answered the call, helped thousands of students who once roamed these halls. By opening your heart, you expanded their minds, filled them with knowledge so jobs they too could find. Shared the hurt when they tried and failed, and then clapped the loudest when they finally prevailed. Through the years you've done your part, gave all you had and it came from your heart. We could never know all the lives that you've touched, but one things for certain, you are loved very much. Penny

Thanks ladies, I hope it gives credit to the thousands of teachers who get paid so little, but whose efforts are expected so much of. Penny
