Scrapbook Layout - 2010 School is COOL

These are various photos from his 1st year in preschool. 

The two embellishments I believe are from Locker Talk.  A pretty basic and boring layout.  All the layouts from 2010 and onward are all made from items in my stash.  I am posting this in 2015 and I am still using my stash (this layout was made in 2013, I just found a pile of un-posted layouts)

Scrapbook Layout - 2010 Field Trip

He wasn't too sure about getting on the bus or where we were going, but when he saw the things to climb on, I thought he'd be excited...but no...he just wanted to play with the bathroom doors.  SIGH...anyway, he had fun in his own way.

Sorry for the nasty photos...but I'm to lazy to re-take them.  Both of the cuts are from Locker Talk.

Scrapbook Layout - 2010 Recess

I got to the school early to pick PJ up for lunch and they were all out playing in the play ground.  It was fun to watch these preschool kids following each other around and taking turns on the slide.

All of the cuts are from Locker Talk

Scrapbook Layout - 2009 1st day of school

Here's a layout done 100% with my stash of paper and supplies.  This is PJ's 1st day of preschool in Sept 2009.  The preschool teacher had visited all the kids at home the week prior and we also had a hour visit in the class room the day before school started.  I was SO surprised that he took the teacher's hand and walked in without complaint.  Several of the kids were upset and crying and then so were the Moms.  He normally has separation anxiety so I was surprised.  It was a short - 2 day school week.  Come the next week, he realized this wasn't a one-shot deal an then started to fuss about going in...but did go with just a wee bit of fuss...because he enjoyed it. 

I just love the title - which is from Locker Talk.  I used lots of pop-dots on the apple.

Scrapbook Layout - 2008 Posing with Dad

This is a page that has several photos of GJA and PJ on it from 2008.

The cartridges used are locker talk (camera) and Mickey Font (for, well, the title)

I wasn't too sure about this paper but I really ended up liking it alot.  When you click on the layout and see it larger, there are stripes that are that teal color - so my color choice in the title isn't as crazy as it appears to be.

Scrapbook Layout - 2008 Playground Time

This is PJ's 1st time at a real playground.  It was Canada Day (July 1) 2008.  He wasn't too sure about going down the slide (so he sat on me and we went down together).  It was a wee bit of a fight, but he enjoyed it.  It was also his 1st time on a swing.  It took him awhile to control his head and not topple out but he sure liked it - he even signed "more" because he loved it so much.

I love all the photos of him on the swing making a border on the bottom of the pages.

The title is from Plantin cartridge and he swings are from Locker Talk.

Scrapbook Layout - 2008 Fun at the YMCA

Here's a layout from 2008.  We met up with some friends to play at the indoor playground at our local YMCA.  All the kids (2 year olds) had a fabulous time.

Cartridges used are Locker Talk (for the slides) and I "think" its George for the title - its been awhile since I did this page.

Thankfully, PJ has stopped pulling hair - so far - things could change ;)

Scrapbook Layout - 2008 Winter Fun

I spent some time (during Survivor) taking photos of some of my 2008 scrapbook pages....here's another one.

This is in our backyard in Feb 2008.  GJA walked into the middle of the yard and plopped PJ in the middle of the snow - he wasn't impressed.  The snow was above his knees, so he had no clue how to walk and save himself...but at least it made it easy to get photo of him because he wasn't moving!

I believe the "winter" title is from Beyond Birthdays and the "fun" is from opposites attract.  I also had some cute snowflake brads that I put on (they are plastic).

End of School Card

I made 7 cards yesterday for the teachers (etc) at PJ's school. I thought they were really cute...I hope you do too. All it took was 2 pieces of white 12x12 paper & 1 piece each of black & turquoise 12x12 paper.
