Back to School page



The 3 years difference in my boys ages really shows up in the photo. I always take a photo on the first day of the School year and measure and weigh my boys on the first and last day of the year to show how much they've grown.

I've created this layout for 2 boy challenges:

Scrap The Boys wanted a monochromatic page with twine and chipboard. I chose yellow due to Mark's school shirt. The CB is the clock and I have Maya Rd yellow/white twine in a bow.

About A Boy asked for a back to school layout for their 1 August challenge. In the USA kids are going back to School after summer break. My photo is obviously a summer one but that's no problem.

  7. Great page! I think proud mamas usually take pictures on the first day of school. I don't think my daughter would let me weigh her though! The boys' stats are a neat idea. Thanks for joining us at About a Boy!
