Project life page front to back

photo 1-1

photo 2-1

It was a challenge to get these bad boys side by side. 

But tis done.

Anyhoo, doing these photos front to back just worked

because of their size and orientation.

Again, Nick on another field trip with his 

Kindergarten (?) guessing here because there are no dates.

Heavy sigh.

And no names.

Heavier sigh.

I do remember a couple of names though so that's good.

I also didn't journal because

memory is failing right now but I'll add something

after I ponder about this a bit,

if not, maybe Nick will write something later.

Lots of bits and pieces from really old Basic Grey sticker

sheets I've had laying around forever.

Double pocket page spread

I have been wanting to do these pictures for a long time

but couldn't quite make myself do a 2 page 

spread because frankly they baffle me.

So these pocket pages worked out perfectly.

(and my title is crooked. Sigh)

And on a somber note - NONE of these photos were marked

with the kids names (and I did know every one of them)

however since I'm just getting around to scrapping them now

some 25-some years later, I only remember a couple of names.

So mark your photos and ID them right away, just in case you

can't get to scrapping them right away.

I did round the corners and in hindsight I'm not crazy about it.

This is Nick's kindergarten class and every year the put on 

a muscial/play and this year

was Jonah and the whale.

The kids and parents had so much fun and I never

laughed so much in my life.

(and yes I know Jonah and the whale was serious)

but they made it fun for everyone.

So they're lining up and the spotlight was getting into position,

well Nick wasn't happy the light was in his eyes

so mom got a picture of him pointing to the light and

waving his hand in a "move that" direction.

After they lined up to everyone's satisfaction, musical 

instruments were dispensed and in the course

of that, one boy just fell off the stage - then popped right up again.

Needless to say it cracked everyone up.

THEN

there were the action moves while singing.

The entire school did a delightful job and I really didn't

want to have to pick and choose these pix.

Border diecuts are cutting edge

There are a few languishing in my drawer that I forgot I owned.

Sad that I have so much I can't remember it all.

But its all coming back now.

Bam!

And because I didn't have enough paper already

I picked up the Echo Park Capture Life pack.

AND I LOVE IT.

The colors work perfectly.

And all the cutouts and stickers, oh my.
I used my "shine" stamp from Studio Calico on that
blank bannery card, works perfect.
However, now looking at the 3rd card - which is blue -
I should've put it in the middle.
Too late.

Anyhoo, I dug out my sissix border diecuts.

Love the delicateness of it - it doesn't take over.

So the confetti came from the border-all those itty bitty holes.

How fun is that.

There's a studio calico stamp, stars and badge.

Thickers.

First day of Kindergarten, always a milestone.
I shortened the title because I love that fun font but didn't
have all the letters.
I think its cool.
Hopefully someone/anyone will get it.
