welcome to the 1st day of our
{back to school blog hop}
alex's K - 2 school book
ok, honestly i'm just going to admit it... i've been working on this project for a year! no joke - as you can see in our blog hop last year - where i made most of the layouts but this year its finished!!
this is alex's K-2 School Book
it includes everything cute and memorable from each school year. my goal is to continue this {now that i have the format down it should be easy!} continue this throughout his education. the next book will be 3-5 and finish out his elementary education {and since he's starting 4th grade this fall.. i've gotta start getting busy!}
a paper bag pocket holds some "mini books" he made
the chipboard tabs separate each year/grade
report card
some of the cards he received that year
in normal with any project... mozart wanted to help
isn't he fluffy? i love the little piece of paper resting on his bum.. that he had been tossing about earlier..
with all my projects i always do a little sketch first {helps me know where i'm going if i get interrupted}
chipboard
with tab
grey top, and graphic geometric squares {american crafts paper} in the center with solid white at the bottom with the number overlay
close up
finished chipboard divider
report card and attendance sheet
