So I finally got my hands on the Lawn Fawn Say Cheese stamp set and couldn't wait to start playing with it. Seriously...that Polaroid style stamp is so stinkin cute! I had high hopes of doing a layout with the kids' pictures from the first day of school this year only to discover that I didn't have any clear pictures from that day. Really...what setting did I have that darn camera on anyhow??? I'm thinking I'll be doing a re-enactment with the kids so I can get good pictures - I'm sure my teenager will love that (wink!). Anyhow...I was set on doing a first day of school layout - it's hard to change my mind when it's set on something. I had to go back into the picture archives to find some that I hadn't already scrapped which took me back to 2009...the first year all three boys were even in school. This is what I came up with.

I started receiving the Studio Ali Edwards stamps in July and I've been watching a lot of Nichol Magouirk's videos over at Two Peas in a Bucket for inspiration on how to use them on my layouts and I love how I can create my own custom embellishments. Besides...I love Ali's handwriting. Now if we could only convince Kristina Werner to make stamp sets with her beautiful handwriting!

Very cute page, Catherine. Or maybe your boys would rather I choose a different adjective.
