First Day of 3rd Grade/ Creative Scrappers Sketch Challenge

So I have given up on trying to catch up on my blog and decided to restart with current events. A big one occurred last week with Gabriel's return to school, as a 3rd grader no less! He looked very handsome and a little too grown up...

I decided to scrap a school theme  page for fun and join in on a sketch challenge over at Creative Scrappers blog.

Here is the sketch that is up this month, (go to the link above if you want to play along):

So I flipped the sketch a quarter turn and created the layout below:

Materials Used: NEW-Jillibean Soup- Shades of Color collection, papers, peapods and coordinating stickers

I thought this collection worked very well for a school layout! I loved these two photos most, he has the sweetest smile in the first and was still not too cool to hold Daddy's hand on the way to school. Priceless moments that I am so happy to have captured,  he is growing up too fast.

I hope your school year starts with lots of smiles too! Have a great week!
