September/October Canadian Blog Hop

Welcome to our Canadian Blog hop. If you have arrived from Brandi’s blog then you are on the right path. Read on and at the bottom, there will be a link for your next stop- and don’t forget to leave some love in the form of a comment.

Well, another school year has begun and with that comes first-day photos!! Since I also work in a school and have to leave on the first day WAY before my kids we usually only get second-day photos (but we can pretend right?!).

I used our new line, Smarty Pants, to make the school pictures pop. Cardstock, paper pack, stickers and Picture my Life cards are all part of this page. I also added some of our FANTASTIC new acrylic letters- this will be a favourite for titles this year.

My daughter’s page uses more from the Smarty Pants line. For a different twist I added some of the Gloss Spray in Ocean. She saw this page and loved that the letters in the title matched the letters on her shirt- a fun coincidence.

Now hop on over to see what Michelle has on her blog– I cannot wait to see it!

Back to School: Scrapbooking the First Day of School

You may be watching the calendar and checking off each day- especially if you are home with your kids every day of the summer. It is also possible that you have loved every moment and every fight and dread the routine of back to school lunches, early mornings and rushing from thing to thing.

However you feel about back to school, it is time to start prepping for the first day of school photoshoot. I created the below printable for your child to complete and accompany their first day of school photos on your scrapbook pages. My kids love looking back at their first day of school pages and seeing what they thought, who they counted as friends and what their handwriting looked like.
