Not Back To Work/School



I would be back to school right now.  Teaching at the very moment pictured below.  Instead I was at the beach with my boys.  A lot of people ask if I miss teaching.  Do I?  Kinda of.  However, nothing compares to this...being with the boys so much more often.  I love these guys.  With Fulton not in school yet, our lives are not very busy or complicated.  It is great.

Summer Photo Page

Last month I was inspired by this page on Ali Edwards site.  She is really such a source of inspiration.  For several weeks I worked and reworked this page into my head until I finally tackled it.  Here is the end result...


As you can see my end result is very different than Ali's although the same idea was incorporated.  I used square as my main shape throughout the page.



First I used my Cricut to cut 2 inch squares randomly on a 12x12 white card stock.  Next I used my scissors to trim the sides of the card stock.  I wanted the sides to be trimmed unevenly so purposely did so.


Next, I used my 2 inch squares from my white card stock to be used as a guide to trim my 4x6 photos.  Remember, you don't need to trim your photos perfectly because once the white card stock goes over the photos and paper the images will look perfectly square.



Next I put the white card stock over my background paper and used a pencil to create squares so I knew where to attach my images and paper.



Remove white card stock and attach images to background paper.


Attach white card stock, add journaling, and the page is complete!

P.S. - I have a crafting room with a crafting table, but find myself working on the floor often.  Not sure why.  Hence why the photos were taken on the ground!
