OFF TO SCHOOL

Today is the first day of school. Although I had to work today, I am so very lucky as my "daughter-in-law" emailed me pictures at work of the boys on their way to the bus. It put a huge smile of my face!!!

I came right home and made this layout....



Aren't they just adorable???

Here are some closeups.....



I used Fancy Pants - Off to School paper line and embellies. The brads are American Crafts - Elements and the eyelets are Recollections.

I used the sketch from The Memory Nest - Make It Monday #24 for my layout.


I was also inspired by Use Your Stuff Challenge #151 to use brads;
and Catherine & Cathy Create Challenge CCC #043 to use primary colours;
and Pat's Challenge at Sketches 4 All September Challenge - Back to School;
and the color challenge at Color Me Scrappy #69 and the twist to use lined paper;



and S.W.A.T. Drill # 39 to use primary colours.


The boys called when I got home from work to report that they both had a wonderful first day of school. It was so wonderful to hear their excitement!! I hope everyone's little ones had such fabulous days!

Stay crafty!
