Ten Things

I'm going to share 10 layouts as part of Shimelle's 10 Things.  


These first two were really quick to put together since I had the journaling already. I have a small journal that I've been writing  notes on what the boys are doing. For both of these I just took it as is and added pictures of them at that age. Done! 

These next two were for NSD (National Scrapbook Day) Challenges on BPC and both digital.  

The first was something that had been on my mind to scrap and the sketch that the layout is built around worked perfect for the pictures. Being digital also made it easy to pull the pictures needed and use them right away...no waiting for them to be printed.  

This was a template that I added pictures to and took my colors from a piece of Fall patterned paper What makes it special? Well besides being very cute boys and great quote, it won!!! Each challenge had a random drawing from entries and I won one of the prize packs. 

This was a layout kit I got from my LSS (local scrapbook store). I got it around our moving time so it worked great to showcase pictures of our old house while it was all pretty for selling.

The rest represent what I worked on at my scrap retreat and sketches from the Double Take class at PBC I took last month. 

This is one of the 12 on the Twelve layouts I did at the retreat. I really liked how the papers worked on this one. I was very happy to get 5 of the 6 months left mostly done there and then finish them all shortly after. Love having a completed project. 

 This is one of the Christmas layouts I worked on at the retreat and used a class sketch. I also had help with the embellishments...lots of fun scraping with others.


These are from class sketches I did last month.

This was fun, pulling all these pictures on one page. 

 I've only done a couple grid layouts but really like them. Should do more!

OK, The more I look at this one the more the 2 green leaves are bothering me. I think that I will have to go see if I can tweak one so that they are not pointing out the same direction.  I was working on my layering with this one.

Aiden's last day of Preschool and Graduation

There wasn't a family picnic this year on the last day but Aiden's class was having one with parents invited. It was actually much nicer to just hang out with his class for a short time then the whole school.

 Eating lunch

Songs 

 One of the Moms sent out sheets for each student to share what they loved about their teachers with words and pictures and made them up in to a book to give them.

We then picked up Logan from his class..

I think he had a fun day...the class had an Ice cream treat.

After naps and a early/quick dinner we got ready for graduation.

A gift from mom and dad

 All dressed up

They had a really good program of which I video recorded most of and once I relearn how to pull still shots from it will have more pictures. They sang several songs and handed out diplomas (which were given right back). I manged to get through it without crying but came close once.

Teacher Gifts

With this being Aiden's last year at Happy Harbour and not doing anything for the Angelfish (Logan's) teachers when Aiden had them, I decided to do something for gifts this year to say Thank you. I searched for something nice but simple and came across this at write click scrap (printables available).
Here's how mine turned out.

My first one done, pretty happy with how it turned out and the fudge was very yummy.

 All wrapped up ready for the last day of school.

Mother’s Day Tea

On May 10th, Aiden’s class put on a Mother’s Day Tea.

First we had our picture taken and then found out seats. Aiden’s memory book for the year was there to look at. The teachers did a wonderful job on it.

Aiden then served us a yummy snack.

 The class sang this cute little song to us. 

And the card for me.

I had fun this month thinking Spring even though we are quickly heading into summer here. Using the same design each month has made this very doable this year.
