Imaginisce monthly challenge, First Day of School and B-Day pictures!

.... is up!!! We've got another sketch up this month by our own Melinda Spinks. It's a wonderful grid design. She has such great sketches and you can check them out on her blog.

To see the sketch go to the Imaginisce blog or click HERE.

Here's my take on this month's sketch.

I used the Geek is Chic collection for my layout and pics of my youngest when he started Kindergarten 2 years ago. Yes, that means he's in Grade Two - starting today!!! I can't believe it!!

Supplies used: Imaginisce (Geek is Chic - patterned papers, diecut, chipboard, Glam Rocks), Core'dinations Colorcore Cardstock, My Little Shoebox (alpha stickers), American Crafts (Slick Writer)

Yesterday we celebrated my daughter's 11th birthday. I can't believe how quickly the years have gone by. She was so excited for this day. We had a family party with all our relatives at a park close by.

She had fun opening her presents and had lots of little helpers. We gave Kailyn her first camera. And she was thrilled - because it was PINK!!!

Another one of the gifts she received was a PINK pocket knife from her grandparents. Another exciting gift for her.

This morning we were busy getting ready for the 1st day of school. The kids were quite excited last night and even this morning when we were heading out to leave. As has been the tradition over the past few years I like to take pictures of them before they leave. Well, I can't say that they were all that co-operative. More on the goofy side I think!

Ok, well I got 1 good one (but they're not really looking at me!)

Thanks for stopping by today!
