Hello stamping friends!!
I hope you had a lovely weekend!
On Friday, the kids had a "teacher workday" so they didn't have school. We joined up with some neighbors and went to Connor's Amazing Acres to go on the corn maze, hay ride, pumpkin patch, and more...
Of course, I will have a scrapbook layout of our fun day soon.
Then on Sunday, it was Ryan's 8th Birthday party!!...
We went to a place where they offer: video games, laser tag, mini golf, and go carts. Here's most of the crew after laser tag. Again, I will have these scrapbooked as soon as I can.
Today I have a scrapbook layout to share from the first day of school LAST year. Yep, I'm behind. Oh, but here'a little hint...make sure you have the year/grade correct BEFORE you glue it to the layout!! Yep, I sure did!! Luckily I was able to cover it well enough...
This uses one of the Belles 'n Whistles stamps that are being retired. I made this layout last week when I still had one in stock, but it sold this weekend so I am now out of stock of Sweet Apples. But there are many other adorable Belles 'n Whistles stamps still available.
I also used By the Letters Uppercase, By the Letters Lower dies and Purple Ric Rac.
Close up of the left side...
The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...
The title was cut with the dies (the 4 is a Sizzix die), then attached dimensionals...
I can finally check off the "first day of 4th grade" layout off my list! Still need to do Ryan's 1st grade layout from the same day. And, of course, I have have this year's "first day" to do, too!! That's the joy of scrapbooking...as life goes on, you always have more opportunities for more layouts!! :-)
I'm enter this in the Cards Galore Scrapbook Challenge: Autumn
