scrapbooking tuesday!

i finally got 2 pages done the other day!  i had a little motivation, because i was teaching a scrapbooking class to 5th graders, which was so much fun!  i forgot to take pictures of the day, but i think someone else did, so i can't wait to show you their pages!  they did a great job!

i jumped ahead a little bit and worked on mara's 1st day of preschool pages and i love how they turned out...very simple, but was able to included everything i wanted.

i took a baseball card hold sleeve and cut it down to only have 3 pockets.  i had a few pictures and some of mara's tickets she cut that i wanted to use, but i didn't want to make one full page, so i love how i can use the pockets to add those few extras!

this is the front of the pockets

and the back:

ali edwards using the baseball card pages a lot in her scrapbook and shares some great tips on how to crop and print your pictures to fit them.  check out her tips here!

and i knew i wanted to use their art work in their books.  this was what they worked on the first day of school.  so, these pages came together very easy and i really like how they turned out.

i have started to work on project life for this year, which i will be sharing next week with you.  i am trying to get their books updated, so i am a little behind, but i have been taking notes on ideas to add to their books for 2011. 

happy scrapbooking!
