This was the first day of 7th grade for Grace and 6th grade for Elijah. Elijah was heading off to STEM Charter and Grace was headed to Christian Center School. About two months into the school year we actually ended up pulling Elijah out of STEM and putting him into CCS with Grace. Going to two different schools every morning and afternoon ended up being a bit much especially since they were not close to each other. This ended up being a really good decision as this school year (as everyone knows) ended up quite unexpectedly! To scrap their first day of school photos I used a challenge from The ScrapRoom Blog , as well as a challenge from ACOT - A Cherry On Top in order to create a double layout!

 My daughter, son, and I all had the chance to be members of the crowd at the concert in the movie "Home Sweet Home" staring Natasha Bure and Ben Elliot. My kiddos got to meet Sarah Kim who played the lead's friend, Sarah. Natasha even waved and smiled at Grace as she walked by. Being an extra was so much fun! We hope to be able to do it again someday. For these photos I used an old sketch from the Stick It Down blog and a challenge from the  Lasting Memories  challenge blog. The challenge was to use a Book title. My Layout: I used the title from this book "Home Sweet Home" as it was the same title as the movie.

 I wanted to enter the challenge over at Lasting Memories . The challenge is to scrap "then and now". Next up in my photos to scrap were the first day of school photos for 2019. I rummaged through my leftover photo box and found their first day of school photos from 2017. It was fun to see how much they had grown in just 2 years.  My layout: To Create this Layout I used: My Mind's Eye: Lost and Found - Breeze paper stack My Mind's Eye: Lost and Found - Breeze ephemera Project Life: photo overlay Little White Lies Cricut Design Space font Bits and Pieces Cricut Design Space diecut - banners Colorbox: Graphic 45 Antiquing dye ink pad - to distress Thank you so much for stopping by!

 Grace and Taylor have been friends since kindergarten. They have been two peas in a pod since the day they met. Started out that they were neighbors but then both of us moved out of the neighborhood. We still live nearby, at least in the same state (the next door state of Idaho) about 15 drive from each other. They don't get to see each other as often as they did when they lived down the street from each other but they still do their best to stay close.  To scrap this photo of them sunbathing in our back yard I used a sketch from Sketches in Thyme .  My Layout: To Create this Layout: Park Lane: Pocket Blossom paper stack Project Life: Becky Higgins Currently Photo overlay - "This Moment Captured" Phrases on Cricut Design Space: Best Friend title American Crafts: Dear Lizzy ephemera Basic Grey: ephemera Thank you so much for stopping by!
