Chris' Graduation book

So I wanted to scrapbook Chris' graduation, and all of his memorabilia. For example his cap, his sash, all the pictures and cards, etc... So as I was doing the layouts with my sister-in-law Erica, we figured it would be at least 6 layouts! UGH! Plus it would have been super bulky, so Erica had the most amazing idea. We used her zutter and made a bound book out of all his stuff with his cap as the front cover! What an ingenious idea! I have never met a more crafty person in my life. I, by all means, can barely glue the paper on and cut the pictures straight. Thanks heavens for Erica! So I had to brag what an adorable book it became, and now we have all his stuff with less bulk. Thanks again Er!

The front of the book
You can see how its bound, and how we were able to put all his stuff right in the book
Some of the pictures. The University of Phoenix emblem is cut off his sash
And then in the back is his announcement and all his cards.
It was a great way to store all his stuff in one spot without taking up too much space in my scrapbook.

Wow - that really does look great! I was wondering what to do with Jason's graduation stuff - that's the perfect idea (if I can somehow make it look as cute as you guys did)!
