I went to Michael's and I found a huge 12x12 SMASH scrapbook. I have been wanting to create scrapbooks for my daughters for a long time but unfortunately I am the biggest procrastinator on the planet (much to my husband's frustration - lol), so I thought this would be the perfect excuse to begin a "School Days" scrapbook for my daughter.
This is my cover:
Here is the first page. I saved some pages in front of this one so I can put some of my daughter's preschool photos. Unfortunately, I am so disorganized and have to search through some boxes for those photos.
Here is my second page. I loved using this Wasabi tape that I found. I am accumulating quite the collection of these.
As you can see, I only managed to finish up to 1st Grade but I thought that was a pretty good start. I really had fun working on these pages but wish I didn't wait so long to get these photos into a scrapbook. My memory is a bit fuzzy but my girls seem to remember quite a bit so they were a big help. I need to work on 2nd, 3rd, and 4rth grade then I'll be caught up with that book. I really need to work on my older daughter's book. She's moving on to high school this fall and I have loads to work on with her book. Baby steps....
The Magnolia images I used today are:
Tilda With Pencils
Tilda With Slate
Running Tilda
Angel Tilda (link to mini image)
Tree With Carved Heart
Little Birds
Rainbow With Clouds (link to mini image)
Tilda reading a book and Lying down Tilda (I haven't been able to find the proper name or link for - sorry)
