A. Use favourite "School" themed papers.
B. Incorporate a real pencil on your page as an embellishment (can also be a colouring pencil, etc)
C. 1-3 photos that is school related (college, pics w/ Teachers, graduation, college football, etc.)
D. Use something you would find on a school supply list (paper clips, staples, post-it notes, rulers, etc.).
E. Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic: Include journaling & numbers on your page.
The layout is about my son's Pre-school graduation in June 2010.
For the school themed paper I used grid paper (you can't see it in the image above, but it is visible in the close-up images below) and ledger paper to slit behind the pic. The ink pads used to stamp the cling ledger stamp are StazOn Azure and Pumpkin ink pads. The numbers is a number border from images in my Silhouette library.
A green post-it is used to document the where and when of the graduation. A fastener to keep the post-it in place. I wanted to use a couple of coloured paper clips, but I just could not find it in my craft space. Further organisation is definitely required:) The grid paper can be seen in the image below.
To fasten the colour pencil to the layout, I pierced a hole on either side of the pencil and tied it in place with ivory DMC thread.
I stamped the large alphabet stamp in pumpkin ANM Plaid Pigment ink pad, sprinkled clear embossing powder over it and heat embossed to get that shiny look - love it.
