Creating Today with Back to School by Lori Staton

Lori Staton was up on my Creative Team LOs rotation...she has this cute Back to School Kit. Hope to use it some day with my girls' school photos, but those pics have to be found and scanned. So, here's some of DD's pictures of Luke's back to school this year.


Luke in his classroom the first day of school. One day he will be able to read all these words!

Back To School by Lori Staton is packed full of fun papers and elements for all your school time pictures.



I bought an album when Luke was a baby to use as an ABC album. Luke is in Kindergarten so it's time to start the ABC album. This cute bus was just perfect for *B* and there's a story to go with it.

Journaling on chalk board:
Luke’s first time to ride the bus home was quite and adventure. You were to change buses along the way. But, your first time, you didn’t change buses.

When the bus drive realized what had happened, she called mom and Aunt LaChelle was able to come and pick you up and take you home!

Here's a preview of Lori's Kit!

Creating Today with Fairytale by Mary Ridgeway

Aunt LaChelle gave Avery a poster of her with all these wonderful Disney characters for her 3rd Birthday.

Fairytale by Mary Ridgeway has papers and elements in blue, pinks, turquoise, and purples. I chose purple since Avery told me this weekend her favorite color is purple!

Such a fun kit to create with ... you can find it here!

Here's another LO with Mary's wonderful kit!



Meet Jordan...known as JoJo. You will be seeing quite a bit of JoJo as she is my new DGD. Her dad and my DD are expecting a new little DGD due in a few weeks...so, I'm soon to be Nana to 5! Caught these photo while JoJo and Avery were playing with Avery's dress up clothes. Guess I'm a bit partial being her new Nana and all, but I think she is Beautiful!

Fairytale by Mary Ridgeway was the perfect kit to scrap this little beauty. Such a fun kit to create with!

Deco My Ad by Wildcat Designs
Advertisers have known for years that to make money you need to grab someone's attention, so they spend hours and lots of money creating very eye catching graphic layouts. Why not use those great ads as an inspiration for a LO. The challenge is simple - - -I give you and ad---this one your job is to take all or part of the ad and create your own version in a LO. You can crop, rotate, and eliminate what you don't care for. Use it as a base and just go with it. Can't wait to see all your versions. Once you post you LO in the Deco My Ad Gallery - - -come back and leave a link in this thread. At the end of the month those that complete the task will be rewarded with a mini-kit. You can find more about the Deco My Ad challenge in this forum http://board.deco-pages.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5724and see pages inspired by this new challenge in the gallery here: http://board.deco-pages.com/showgallery.php/cat/1051
