I am so close to finishing my son's elementary school album, and it only took me a year longer than I had been hoping (it was my goal for May 2025)! Here's his graduation layout, complete with journaling about his unique streak that I hope helps him succeed in the future. As I was working on this layout, I noticed a scratch piece of cardstock that I had used last month to test my foam stamps for Elliot's Pool Party layout. It looked pretty cool as the background for the school building ephemera, so I threw it on here. I still have a tiny scrap that I may need to use on a card, but it was nice to use up some of it.

Anyone doing scrapbook pages is talented in my book. I couldn't design one if I tried. Great effort here. Thanks for sharing at Double Trouble! Johanna
ReplyDeleteSo impressive you keep moving on with your photos creating fun layouts. Love the bright colors and thanks for sharing his graduation layout with us at Double Trouble's 8th Anniversary Raffle.
ReplyDeleteGood job, Cheryl! Being a year past your goal is still pretty good to me and you must be very organized to keep all the elements for the layout! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
