College Scrapbooking Ideas

College scrapbooking ideas that will help you create an amazing college scrapbook.

Scrapbooking is a hobby that appeals to people of all ages, but many younger scrapbookers sometimes feel neglected by their fellow crafters.

Why College Scrapbooking Ideas?

So much attention is devoted to scrapbooking weddings, baby, and family that college scrapbookers are often forgotten.

However, college students have plenty of opportunities to create amazing layouts that document this exciting time in their lives, using these college scrapbooking ideas.

There are many ideas that can be used to fill your albums. You can create layouts showcasing;

  • Your dorm room,
  • Your best friend,
  • Your college romance,
  • Your favorite class,
  • Your sorority,
  • Your favorite weekend activities.

If you are paying for your own education, your scrapbooking ideas may include layouts about

  • The cost of your tuition,
  • Books,
  • Feeding
  • Supplies etc.

Your career path can also provide scrapbooking inspiration. Some interesting college scrapbooking ideas include

  • discussing how you chose your major
  • experiences at your first internship
  • and your professional goals for life after college.

College scrapbooking ideas can also take a historical perspective of the college experience. For example, if your family has a long history of attending a particular university, you can create a “Then and Now” theme album showcasing pictures of different generations during their college years.


Even if you didn’t attend the same university as other family members, you can create a layout discussing the general differences between your college experiences –

  • pay phones vs. cell phones
  • libraries vs. online research, etc.

These types of school scrapbooking ideas are guaranteed to become a treasured family keepsake.

Graduation is the cornerstone of the college experience. Graduation scrapbooking ideas can document

  • what you enjoyed about your college experience,
  • what you learned during college,
  • and what you hope to accomplish in the future.

Remember to have a friend or family take plenty of pictures of you in your cap and gown on graduation day. You may also want to have someone photograph you in front of different campus buildings. With many colleges investing heavily in remodeling and construction projects, the campus scenery may be completely different at your first college reunion!

Larger colleges and universities sell scrapbooks decorated with their school logo. These albums are generally available at the campus bookstore, but can sometimes be ordered from online retailers.

You can fill the pages of your album with cardstock and patterned paper in your school colors. College scrapbooking ideas for embellishments can be as creative as you wish. You can use embellishments in your school colors, embellishments that reflect your future profession, or embellishments that symbolize your daily routine as a college student.


Remember scrapbooking ideas is limited only to your own imagination. We are all unique and have different lives, careers, hobbies, experiences etc from others.

Capitalize on your uniqueness and turn it into your own unique scrapbooking pages.
