Back to School

Hey everybody, Barb here. With school back in session, many of us with school-age children, may be able to carve out a block of time to get some serious scrapping done and that is super exciting to me! I always take a first day of school picture of my girls. I like how fresh and hopeful they look, I like the excitement on their faces and the anxious gleam in their eyes. Putting together a ‘first day’ page can be really fun and easy. I let my girls choose the photo they want showcased, that way I know they’ll appreciate it later, and then I choose my supplies. I try to keep my pages age-appropriate, as well. Since this daughter is in high school now, I used subtle hints of school…lined paper in the title area and small embellishments around the journaling.

Many digital scrapping sites offer school-themed kits. Browse thru your favorite site and see what they have to offer. Or visit your local scrap book store and take a look at their school selections. I know some stores stock paper, card stock and embellishments that coordinate with the local schools', theme and colors..you could make an entire album of your students’ school times, what a keepsake that would be! No matter the type of scrapping you choose, just grab some photos, create a page or two and share them with us in SOC gallery. We love looking at your artwork!
