Scrapbooking products for marching band photos are harder to find than you might think.
Our weekends are spent at football games and high school marching band competitions in the fall. Not to toot my own horn (ha ha), but the kids qualified for the state marching band competition by achieving a superior rating at their first competition this year! Their show is very entertaining. I never know whether to keep an eye on my daughter, my son, or the whole band at once. They have fabulous directors and some great friends in band. This is such an important part of their school year, that it needs to be in their scrapbooks.
I don't have as many photos as I would like of my kiddos marching because I'm my pictures from the stands at night aren't great. My pictures in the high school gym for awards and concerts aren't great either.
The scrapbook layouts in progress right now feature photos of the kids with their friends in their uniforms, photos from awards nights (in the gym), and a few photos from the sidelines. Most of my layouts have 5 or more pictures on them. Since the majority of my band pictures stink, these layouts have only 1-3 photos. I need some nice embellishments to dress up the page. And I'm really not looking for flowers to add to these pages. Maybe that would be OK for photos of my daughter. It just seems wrong to fill the page with frilly flowers when my son, a percussionist, is the focus. I think his look of disgust when seeing a page like that would be worse than when he sees kale chips on his dinner plate.
