and so far Tim has had a great week! My son does not like school. He would tell you the best thing about school is Band class, P.E., Lunch... and 2:45pm when the school day is over! LOL Sometimes I wish he loved school, but I've accepted the fact that he just doesn't.
He's so smart and has a different way of thinking about things, which keeps me on my toes! He's taking several advanced classes and is thrilled about playing the French Horn in the Wind Ensemble this year. I'm so proud of him and I'm happy that he has at least one class that he will look forward to going to several times a week.
For the most part I always loved school. I didn't mind most of the work... except for Math. I never did learn to love... or even like Math for that matter! I can add, subtract, multiply, & divide well. But you can forget those ridiculous useless word problems, linear equations, and all the other stuff I have never found a need to use in my adult life... so far! I probably just jinxed myself! LOL
Anyway, with it being back to school week I decided to jump right in and get Tim's "First Day" pic scrapped & into his School scrapbook. If you click on the photos you can enlarge them for a more detailed view.
I'm still using contents from my August Counterfeit Kit. I added a mini paperclip & a button from my stash on this layout. The tag tucked behind the photo on the right side holds a little journaling about the photo.
I also used a lot of foam tape, applied some ink around the journaling card, and distressed the edges of the kraft cardstock base to add texture & depth to my layout.
I'm still loving that gold glitter & those mini wooden veneer stars :) I have a few more projects I'm going to share that I created using my counterfeit kit, but I still have a few sheets of cardstock, and some patterned paper scraps that will be left over. The color scheme & patterns are perfect for Tim's school album so I'm going to add my left overs to my school kit. You might see bits and pieces of them throughout the upcoming year.
Thanks so much for stopping by today!
