My kids went back to school on Tuesday, so this was a transition week for us. So far, so good. But my house has been unusually quiet - it's the first time in over 10 years that I haven't had a child home with me for at least part of the day. And it's been unusually neat here at home too...hmm...I wonder why! :-) Anyway, since I had some free time this week, I decided to make a scrapbook page for two different challenges. Mari aka Momo at Made by Momo has a challenge every other Tuesday. The current challenge is to make a project using black & white and one color of your choice. I chose green....for our school's colors. And Stephanie at Always Crafting posted her Whimsical Wednesday challenge - use bling, buttons and/or brads on a project. I used two brads to mimic the snaps on my son's football helmet...hope that's enough!! :-)
I must mention that the layout for this page was inspired by a scrapbook page created by Marie on Write. Click. Scrapbook. You should check out this blog...such beautiful projects!
The pictures I scrapped are of my middle son who began playing football on a team this year. He was so excited to get his practice uniform....and proudly modeled it for us. I think he's looking pretty tough for an 8 yr-old! What do you think? :-)
