First Days of School-Aaron

This layout was inspired by a Refresh Retreat challenge from May of last year. The challenge was to combine 9 or more versions of a similar style of photo to help visually tell a story. My son resent my graduated high school and I thought it would cool to get all of his first day of school photos on a layout!

I used Simple Scrapper sketch 717 and decided to put these plastic slide frames that have been in my stash a long time to good use. 

I struggled with using the sketch a bit, since all of my photos were vertical. But with some friends at an in person crop and moving things around quite a few times (which also meant reframing many photos) I finally came up with a composition that worked for me.

 

Used Jillibean Soup’s Alphabet Soup II collection for paper and die cuts that matched well with the stickers.


I had some stickers in my stash that had labels that fit on the slide frames perfectly and had the title piece to match. 


Love seeing these photos all together to see the growth year after year.
