I know, the picture was PROMISED with a capital P this weekend and it was actually finished and ready to post but I just didn't get the darn picture taken to post until right now. Sorry, sometimes my life just gets in the way! Anywhooo, here it is...the first pages of the school album!
This is the album we will use. You don't have to use red...it comes in lots of colors and we will decorate the front of it but I am not positively sure that I want red so it will be home to Preston's book for now...and maybe forever. You get the album as a freebie as long as you do all 10 months!
This is page #1. The album is starting with the very first day. We are using BoBunny's school paper for this month but that doesn't mean we will use BB each month. Of course we will switch it out based on the grade level and if you have girlies than we may need to add a little girly bling...anything goes. We are using the Cricut, Thickers and a journal block.
This is page #2...a combo of pics I took the first day...classroom sneak peak, walking in the school...all that jazz. Now if you are cursing me because I didn't post this fast enough and you didn't take classroom pictures or walking in pictures...STAGE them! yes, I said STAGE them! No one cares...no one will know...it's all about the story, not which day you took the darn picture! Those blank strips are for Preston to do a little journaling about his first impressions of the first week...I am letting him do it...in his handwriting!
This is page 3 and 4. It is hard to tell from the picture but this is American Crafts groovy 10x12 page protector. The pockets are 4x6 vertical and horizontal which is perfect for whatever little gems I can collect this month. I have included the postcard that we received from the school with his teacher assignment, a letter from his teacher and the note I put in his lunch box on the first day. :) I am watching for things that I might stick in there in the next few weeks and I will most likely add some pictures that may or may not have a things to do with school.
So, there you have it...as simple as that! Didn't take that long and now each month I can come back and add another 2 page spread along with the picture pages. Class is $20 each month and everything is included. If you haven't ever taken a class with me it is a little different than most classes because I am all about making choices. You are welcome to copy my page exactly, a little or not at all. You will get all the supplies you need to complete your pages, your page protectors each time and at the first class I will give you a container to keep your pictures, papers, and memories for the month in.
