Examples:
Yellow/blue – beach holiday
Blue/green – water sport holiday
White/silver- snow glitter for skiing
Red/orange – holidays in fall
Alternatively use the flag color of the country you visit – blue and red for America, gold and green Australia etc.
Picking a suitable background
As mentioned above you need to ensure that your background doesn't overwhelm your content. For a vacation background you may wish to use a plain colored background or even just use textured background like sand glued to the page.
**Top tip**
When we come off holiday it's so nice to capture memories of our adventure although more often than not we come home and life takes over, we are too busy to get started and before you know it the memories have faded along with your enthusiasm.
One way to avoid this happening is to prepare a page or book ( including the color and theme) prior to leaving for your holiday, this way whilst away you can collect specific keepsakes to include once you are home. It makes creating scrapbooks so much easier!

Creating graduation pages to preserve the memories of your children's graduations is an important part of scrapbooking. Here's a few simple ideas on how to get started quickly!
Traditionally the colour of graduation is black however your college may have particular colors on their emblem. Use these colors where possible to capture the uniqueness of the occasion. Alternatively you could use the time of year or season to reflect a theme. For example go with a simple white background to reflect the snow at winter.
Get creative with your layout
The front page of your graduation scrapbook can be the shape of a mortar board. A scroll can be created on the front page for the use of a handle. The front page could also include your university crest.
Making the text look beautiful
Present text on plain card on top of a report card or inside the graduation order of service. Border your text with ruler measures.
** Top Ideas **
Use your old books and university documentation (those that are not precious to you) for borders and backgrounds. Small scrolls can be included of your memories.
I hope that's helped inspire you with some new ideas for creating scrapbooks – and I wish you all the best with creating scrapbooks of your memories!
