MDS Blog Hop
OMG! Can I tell you how seriously excited I am to be part of this AMAZING group. I was jumping up and down when I was invited…someone thought I was good enough to be included in this talented
collection of MDS designers!
If you are starting here, I can not wait for you to see what else the rest of our Blog Hop/ Design Team has come up with. All of us are designing this week with the so fun theme of
BACK TO SCHOOL!
I know that a lot of the U.S. has started back to school or will be in the next week, but here we won't start school
until the end of the month. I don't even know my boy's teachers yet. Although I do have my fingers crossed 🙂
I thought about looking back at last year's photos, but then I thought about what I would want to do for this year. I have seen this cute tradition that a lot of families do of their kids holding up a sign with what grade they are starting, so that is what I started with, these are for my boys to hold up when we take our annual First Day of School pictures. Now I won't have to worry about remembering what year is which!
I also added the next two pages so that I would have a quick and easy way to record a little more about them on their first day. I always intend to record this stuff, but it unfortunately has usually ended with just that – intentions.
The last project is a coordinating Thank You card design. I plan on having some printed as a gift for their teachers to use this year when they get all of their little Teacher Gifts!
My goal was for the look of a chalkboard on a book page – although I don't think our school has a single chalkboard, I think they are all white-boards. I used the First Edition and Well Worn Designer Papers and the new A is for Apple and School Colors stamp brush sets.For the crayons I layered a punch in a slightly lighter color behind the stamp. I would love to know what you think…..then, please visit the blogs of the other talented designers. I know you are in for a treat!

Jeanna, the sign idea is brilliant and your design work is great! When I was looking through pictures for my page I had a hard time remembering what year it was taken. Man, I’m jealous that you guys don’t start back till the 29th…..I’m never ready for summer to be over!
Looking forward to seeing lots of your designs!
This is such a great idea and a perfect way to keep all of these memories together! And BTW, the slideshow worked out fine! 🙂
They do look like chalkboard! Love it!
What a cute idea! Love ’em!!
I {HEART} your pages! They are great! What a clever idea! Thanks for sharing these!
Great idea my friend! Wish I had done that with the girls. I just always do the picture in the doorway and get the “Hurray up Mom” look.
Congratulations on being part of the blog hop. Of course your good enough and also very talented to be part of the selected mds designers. Great job with the date idea, I’m usualy tryig to remember what year they wore a particular outfit.
Great Job!!
