PROJECT LIFE: BACK TO SCHOOL

It’s that time of year again- Back to School!  Today I am going to show you how I documented the first day of school.IMG_8690I have decided to focus on building a childhood album that highlights the school year for each of my children. The first day of school is the perfect first page for the album!

jonah bookI created a layout for my son that was easily duplicated (with of course a girl theme for my daughter).  It is simple and quick to put together!   I used the same photo of the two of them together, a 3×4 single photo, and a 3×4 of each child with their teacher).

One Elle’s Studio item I love to use is the “My Favorites” interview journaling card in the Cameron and Penelope collections- it’s so fun to see what they say every year!

IMG_8689I also used a striped pattern paper with the school year in each spread.  The paper in Jonah’s layout is from the Let’s Eat Paper Collection, and the paper from Jordan’s layout is from the NEW Thankful Paper Collection.   I also used our brand new IN STOCK Jordan Stamps in both layouts— they are so fun to play with!!!

I used one journaling spot to describe the morning before school, one journaling spot to document the actual day and how it went, and then one journaling spot was dedicated to their teacher.IMG_8686Elle’s Studio products used for Jonah’s layout: Jordan Stamp Solid, Jordan Stamp Outline, Jordan Stamp Dots and Stripes, Cameron Large and Medium Journaling Tags, Let’s Eat Paper Collection Pack, August 2015 Kit, Thankful Journaling Cards, Thankful Stickers, Weekend Printables, Letter and Number Stickers- Yellow, Hello 2015 Stickers
