Simple & Sweet Back-to-School Memories with Aimee Mertell

Hello, Elle’s Studio friends! It’s Aimee back with you today sharing a fun back-to-school traveler’s notebook layout using the August 2022 Kit and extras. This school year looks a little different for us as I am trying out homeschooling. This will be a big shift for us, and even though we will just be learning together at home, I still wanted to take the traditional first day of school photos. Let’s take a closer look!

I snapped some photos of my son and got to work making a clean and simple layout. I really wanted to keep it pretty neutral and light with pops of yellow. I started by using a grey grid 4 x 6-inch tag from the Basic Grid 4 x 6 inch Journaling Tags to frame out my photo and then I selected my favorite yellow die cuts from the August Kit

The die cuts were the perfect compliment and allowed the perfect space for doing some stamping too, so I grabbed the School Tabs Stamp and added cute little details to the page like subjects and grade level! 

To pull both sides of the travelers notebook together, I cut a strip of yellow paper from the Warm Solids Paper Stack and adhered it down across both pages for a cohesive look. I added my journaling on a large tag from the Notebook Die Cut Shapes and accented it with yellow puffy stars, more stamping and a light splattering of yellow distress oxide. 

There you have it: a simple back-to-school layout that still manages to pack a big punch! The August release included such great products to support your back-to-school stories and really made it a breeze to bring this together. I hope you have walked away inspired today and have fun creating your own back to school layout!
