Back to School

I am participating a sketchy and crafty challenge over at Two Scrapbook Friends and the sketch showing below was created by DT Christa.  Christa proposed a crafty challenge; something old, new, borrow and blue. 
 

 

 

I am doing another "Back to School" layout and these photos were taken on the first day of school last year in 2013. Again, the boys signed in numbers "7 and 5" for grade 7 and 5.

 

Something:

Old - patterned paper

New - MFT stencil stars

Borrow - some gesso from my dear friend, Laureen

Blue - boys' outfit and patterned paper (stripes)

 

 



Happy Scrappy!

Another School Year

Creative Scrappers # 282. 

This past weekend, I was out of town to a scrapbooking getaway in Parry Sound with my two girlfriends.  The weekend was brief but yet I had a fabulous time.

 

My dear boys know my annual First Day of School routine; by taking some photo shooting for the First Day of School layout.  After a few shots, my older son would say "Mom, are you done?"   On the left photo, both of my son signed in number -  8 and 6 for grade 8 and 6. 

 

 

Happy Scrappy!

When I first saw Laureen's cute double page layout of her great niece and also her son, and I knew I would love doing this sketch..  This layout is about my son, Jayron who just celebrated his 11st birthday at Mandarin restaurant last month. This sketch was created by Laura Whitaker over at Scrapmuch?
