I used Elle’s Studio’s Penelope (available in early September) to create Jordan’s first day of school album page. I loved using the “My Favorites” and “These are the Facts” journaling cards to document her day, and her favorites right now.
I included her photo that morning as an insert. On the backside I placed a certificate she got from her teacher for her first day of kindergarten.
A few other things included were her class list (which is blurred for obvious reasons), a note about how it felt walking away on that first day, a note in her lunch box and a sweet smiley face from her teacher.
I also used the “My Favorites” and “These are the Facts” Journaling Cards (Cameron Large and Medium Journaling Tags) in the same way, as Jordan’s layout. I even used many of the same photos. Using a similar set up helped cut down time for putting this spread together!
My goal for these albums will be different than how I view our family Project Life albums. These will not be put together in a weekly time frame– I am letting it be open to however it comes together. I am also not limiting the content to school activities/events. I want this album to showcase their lives this year so I will probably do a little of everything! I am excited to see how this album turns out.
Project Life was created by Becky Higgins as a way to simplify how you document life and preserve memories. Photo pockets used in my Project Life album are created by Becky and can be found here. You can read of all the Elle’s Studio Project Life posts here.
