pwp #13 - first and last day

As I was doing my last day of school layout for my DD’s Junior Kindergarten year, I thought that it would be a great idea to have another layout with a photo of her on the first and last day of school.  This way, I could see how she'd changed over the course of a year. 

Here is my layout.  I like the simplicity of it and I think I will use this as my official first and last day of school layout design for the coming years.  I plan to just change up the colours and embellishments but keep the general design the same.

I used Papertrey’s Headline Alphabet, Countdown Details (banner) and Fruit Fusion dies and pure poppy cardstock. I also used stickers from Simple Stories and cards from Project Life and Me and My Big Ideas.  I love how simple and quick it was to put together this page.

Some close ups... This was her on the first day, looking a bit nervous and shy...

And this was her on the last day, looking quite like a big girl (her words, not mine, lol). 

I am also entering this to Leigh Penner’s Pages with Papertrey Challenge #13 here which is to create a layout without using a purchased patterned paper.

Thanks for stopping by!
