The First Day of First Grade



Another of the layouts I created for National Scrapbooking Day.  Since there's only a couple months left in the school year, I figured maybe I should get this one done.

I ask Ellie a series of questions on the first day of school, I actually record it, but I also make a layout.

This year I used Echo Park's Playtime collection.  Pretty simple and easy, but I think these layouts are going to be a great way to mark each year of school.

It was fun to watch the video again when I was making this layout.  You could definitely see the nerves.  I remember her being much more excited last year, and this year it was a lot more nervousness/anxiety.  But nothing to worry about, she's doing really well at school and adores her teacher.

I'm going to link this one up over at Moxie Fab World's Scrapbooking is Fun challenge.

I'm a little behind on my watercolor homework...hoping to get caught up the next couple days!

  7. This is adorable Miriam. I wish I had done this when my children were small, but then again, I wasn't into this hobby then. I love that this precious daughter of yours loves math and science...and art, of course. You did a great job on this layout; capturing memories that she will enjoy reading in years to come.
