1st Day of Grade 4!

The 1st day of school is always a bittersweet day.  Happy to be going back to see classmates and catch up on what everyone did over the summer, but it also means routines!  As a mother of three I don't like the first day of school, I LOVE having my children home with me and I love the carefree days of summer vacation. 

          Beautiful summer day at the lake filled with water sports,

campfires and family time!

After a few days of being back those summers days are a distant memory and we are back into the swing of schedules and routines.  I am of the mindset to enjoy the moment you are in and with back to school comes new opportunities for photos.  I did a new photo shoot with Grant this year and he really enjoyed setting up the props and posing for me.  He is a fantastic model for me! 

If you are interested in photos getting some photos similar to these it is not too late!  Book your session now!  I would love to capture these precious memories for you!

Update on my 21 day Challenge!

I am so happy I took on this challenge to complete a scrapbook page a day for 21 days!  I have 15 days done!  I am behind by a day, but on one of my early days I did an extra page so I am on track!!!!  Yay!!!!

 

I will get 2 pages done today on Day 17 to get caught up officially.  Going away on the long weekend set me back, but I am determined to stay on track!  I really don't think I will stop after my 21 days.  I am loving going back through old photos and capturing those memories on pages and also I am purging photos that I should have deleted a long time ago.  I don't need 5 photos of the same thing.

 Pick the best and delete the rest!!! 

Here are my pages I have done to date: 

 

As you can see I am not up to date on my photos and I am working on past years, but it feels good to get somewhat caught up.  I am printing the pages as well!  Getting them done is half the work and then ordering them is the other important step.  I love the feeling of filling my scrapbook albums for my family to enjoy looking at their photos.

 

  I print my digital pages as calendars at Heritage Makers

and then tear them apart and put them directly in albums.  12 x 18  Calendars are also available from Panstoria Print Shop and I am an affiliate for them so I would love it if you supported me by using the code here on my blog to link your orders to me.  I always appreciate your support!

 

If you ever need any help with any of your digital needs don't hesitate to contact me for assistance.  Love to share ideas with you! 

 

I hope this has inspired you to get your photos off of your computer and into albums! 

 

Happy Scrapping,

Beth
