MCT ~ Scrapping The Little Things

Good morning! Today over at My Creative Time, Emma and the design team will be catching up on our layouts, Smash books or Project Life! I have decided to try my hand at Project Life. I like the idea of just taking some photos and slipping them into some protective sleeves & just adding a little bit of detail. I want to mix and match my son's scrapbook and thought this might be a fun way to change things up! Plus the amount of photos I have of him, especially when he was a baby, I will NEVER be done if I don't try something different!
 
So with all that said I thought I would scrap his first day of 2nd grade! He picked his own clothes out the night before and was rather proud of himself! I tried to take as many pictures as my little man stood standing waiting for his bus ~ it was almost 40 something minutes late the first day! We actually thought we missed it at one point! 
 
I used a lot of Emma's products for this page and will list them all below. I just love how her products work for so many different mediums! I did decide to use some extras I had laying around too! For example the Cricut apple and my cute little die cut arrow & heart! I am going to try and use scraps as much as possible since they seem to be growing in my craft room again! LOL!



 
Materials Used:
Ribbon from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique
Paper ~ PTI, Recollections and DCWV
Ink ~ Archival, Stampin Up
Copics
Doodlecharms ~ apple
 
That is it for me today! make sure you head over to My Creative Time & see all the rest of the design teams pages! I am sure there is tons of inspiration!

  7. 45 minutes?? I can see why you started to think you missed the bus. Good job picking out his clothes. I like how you captured the excitement of the first day and made the board for him to hold. Sweet job on the layout. I make many cuts in different colors because I don't know what will look best...then have lots to use on other things. To use them on layouts is perfect.

  12. You are doing an awesome job with these projects. I wish I could focus on getting a page done like this. I am just randomly making stuff that is just sitting around and of no use to me! Sad! :(
