Fabulous Fall


Today's scrapbook layout is for Alayna's album. 
She will be going to kindergarten in the fall.
This layout is for the day we raked up all the leaves in the play area
and put them at the bottom of the slide. 
She had a great time landing in that pile of leaves over and over again.
 
Project Details:
Sketch:  Stampin' Royalty
Leaves: Spellbinders dies
Sentiment:  Stamped with Chocolate CTMH ink
The leaf gems I found out Michaels in the dollar bin

You and Me Scrapbook Layout

 
This is one of the pages I made for Nora's scrapbook. 
 It will have a picture of me and her together
The album is an 8x8. 
 I think that is the perfect size for a child to sit
 to hold and look at in order to  remember all of her friends at daycare.
8x8 pages are also just the perfect size for 4x6 photos.

Album cover


I always try to make a scrapbook for each of my daycare kids to take with them when they go to kindergarten.  This year I have one child going to kindergarten and one moving away.  Goodbyes are always difficult because these children become part of our family. This is the front of the album I made for Nora who will be moving away.  I have taken care of her since she was a baby and she is very dear to all of us.
I ran the corner branch through my xyron so it would stick to the album.  The letters were cut out of vinyl.

Howdy!  It's time for another challenge at Creative Craft Challenges.

You can interpret that however you want.  I used some checked paper for my card.
