I spent awhile last night going through all my digital files of photos and realized I have a lot of events in the past year I haven't touched yet. I used to consider myself a chronological scrapper. And while I do still put everything in the scrapbooks chronologically, I'm getting worse at scrapping everything while it's still fresh in my mind. I think it's because I'm working with product that's sent to me, so I'm always trying to find the right photos & topics to go with the right paper & products. I decided I really need to go back to my roots & create more pages for the sake of getting them into the books, rather than to always be holding off for the right paper to match it all. With Bryn back in school... I have more time to accomplish this goal.
Thus, this first day of school page. I picked up 2 sheets of Kaisercrafts' "Class of '87" collection (the year after I graduated from high school ;-) the other day at Archivers and used some of it on here. I also added some "Midterm" from Bella Blvd, some "School is Cool" letter stickers from Nikki Sivils & even an SRM "school days" sticker sentiment. The lined paper that I printed my jouraling on is Imaginisce's "Geek Is Chic." The coating on the paper kinda made my journaling a bit smeary, but I did my best to not touch it when I was adhering it to my page...
The school bus is another Jolee's Boutique score. Every once in awhile, I kinda dig their stickers. LOL I printed a contact size print of Bryn's photo & cut it down to put her face in one of the bus windows...
And speaking of school... today is an early release day! So I'm off to pick up Bryn & we're headed to the mall... her favorite thing to do.
Not sure where she gets that from...
You amaze me in so many ways!! The fact you can mostly keep up with all the chronological scrapping!!! Another terrific layout, can't believe you already got the first day of school scrapped, ours hasn't even happened yet, lol.
