Bohemian Graduation Backgrounds

Make your own photo book for the graduate in your life and create a wonderful keepsake of this important threshold that they are about to cross! A photo memory book of graduation day makes a great gift for the grad themselves and you can even order a few smaller versions for close family.

There are a lot of other types of photo book that you can create for a graduate too. One of my favorites is the ‘Life Lessons‘ book. In this book, you can pass on the benefits of your experience and wisdom to a special young person in your life, who is about to venture out into the big wide world for the first time. You can also interview family members and older friends for their advice and include it in your book.

Create a page for each person and use photos from the graduation ceremony. That way you will give them something to look back on as well as advice for the future. And remember, not all the advice needs to be serious. You can include some silly stuff too!

Picaboo has some great graduation background collections. I really love their ‘Bohemian Graduation‘ collection myself.  Go to the Idea Center and check out their Special Collections of backgrounds that will really inspire you to make your own photo book.

Don’t forget that you can use more  than just photos in your book. Other paper items can be scanned and included in your books. Artwork created especially for her by the kids or grandkids would make a great addition to a Mother’s Day photo book.

Also, try searching for a couple of beautiful ‘Mom’ quotes on a quotations web site and include it in your book. Or you could even find a poem about mothers to include. Use an attractive cursive font and pair it with an appropriate picture or photo. Make a photo book that uses pretty pastel colors for backgrounds and the cover. You can use a plain cover but one thing that I think works well is to use a background on a custom cover. I like to do this in Picaboo especially, because there are so many beautiful backgrounds available that have been created by other users. You can use the same background on the front, back and spine of the book, then add a photo and title to the front.
