Welcome to the Monday Montage blog hop! I've been on a roll with sharing Holiday catalog sneak peeks, so I'm not about to stop. There is a new Project Life by Stampin' Up! card collection called Seasonal Snapshot. This collection gives you everything you need to record events from Autumn to Christmas. It is absolutely perfect for Back-to-School Project Life layouts.
The kids went back to school this week! Yippee!!!! Obviously I'm not one of those moms that cries when the kids return to school….quite the opposite. We crave routine in our house, so everything feels like it is getting back to "normal".
Bella is in 2nd grade this year. She wore pencil knee socks the first day, so I love the coordinating pencil cards. The page isn't quite finished as I need to do some more journaling, but I did manage to fit in a few stamps.
Chandler is a junior in High School. It was dark in the morning when he left for school, so I had to get pictures when he got off the bus. He also indulged me by taking a few selfies.
And even though I don't cry, I still feel this way.
I used some additional cards from the Seasonal Snapshot collection for this card. The pencil was created by die-cutting the base shape with the Big Shot and the Homemade Holiday Framelits die (another fun new product). You can get all the measurements and instructions by clicking the recipe at the end of this post.
Be sure to check out all 10 stops on the hop! I know my friends have some amazing projects to share this week.
Happy Stampin'
