When my daughter graduated from High School I wanted to celebrate her and all her accomplishments. I first went through a notebook where I kept all her special papers, awards and certificates and pulled out in chronological order the ones that I felt where milestones in her life. Then I went to her photographs and pulled out some of my favorite pictures starting with her newborn picture from the hospital all they way through to High School, keeping in mind the awards and certificates I had already pulled. Trying to keep these in chronological order as well.
With all her awards and photographs in hand I went to my local Kinko's and made color copies of all. I scrapbook, so I did some basic cropping and added a little color border to each photograph and glued them on cardstock along with any award or certificate pertaining to that picture if one was available.
The final step was to use a little tape on the back and stick to the wall in chronological order all around the room of where we held her graduation party. This took a little extra time, but boy was a huge hit and a wonderful tribute to my daughter! All of our guests enjoyed strolling around and seeing my daughter and her accomplishements throughout the years which brought her to that very special day!!!
