Annual Christmas Party

I am lucky to be able to get access to the photos taken with the photo booth at the annual Christmas Party where my husband works.  You know the ones that print 4 little pictures on a photo strip?

Anyways, I was able to print the pictures I wanted in a larger format.

Photo booth is always a blast!

Happy creating!  :)

Energetic Learning Campus

I am back with the (first) high school page.

Here in Fort St. John, there are too many kids to fit into the main school, so about 3-4 years ago they opened a second campus for approximately 200 grade 10 students to help with the overflow from the main high school.  All I can say is it is an awesome school!  Next year he will be at the main high school for his grade 11 and 12 years.

So once he is there, I will need to create a page for that school.  ;)

Then after he is done grades 11 & 12, I will make those last two folio pages, and then I am planning to wrap the album(s) up with a grad photo page, too.

But for now, this is his first high school page.  

I just need to snap a photo of the school for my layout, which is actually part of the Pomeroy Sports Centre (the school portion is located within the left side of the building in this picture), so they have access to an indoor running track, two hockey rinks, a skating oval, and the soccer pitch next door (along with other cool options) for their hour of exercise every morning before the school day starts.  Pretty cool.

Happy creating!  :)

Bert Bowes Middle School

Ok, so I shared all the folio layouts I did for Cole's school years to date.  

I like to include a picture of his school, kind of like a cover page, but more so to separate the years into which schools he has attended.

I have done one for his elementary school (Charlie Lake Elementary), that I shared years back.

This one is from his middle school years, grades 7-9.

Next time I will share his high school page.

Happy creating!  :)

Grade 5, 6 & 7 Folios

I got a full day to create on holiday Monday (BC Family Day) when a bunch of friends came over to my place to have a crafty day.

I pulled out Cole's grade 7, 8, 9 and 10 school photos and started playing catch up with the retired True Fit Folios that CTMH used to sell.  (I had previously prepped a bunch to get me through to his graduation).

Today I was just going to share his Grade 7 page, but then I realized that I hadn't shared his Grade 5 or Grade 6 folios yet, like I thought I had.  So I will quickly share those first...

I used retired CTMH Lucky papers on this his Grade 5 layout.

And I used retired CTMH Victory papers on his Grade 6 layout...

Now for my most recent one, this is his Grade 7 folio page.

I used retired CTMH ProPlayer papers and ProPlayer My Stickease on this one.

  These folios are great because I can tuck all of his report cards inside along with any other papers I want to keep.

You can see all the other folios I did for his album from Kindergarten through to Grade 4 HERE,

as well as the school page layout I made for the beginning of his elementary school album.

I will share the Grade 8 folio next time...

Happy creating!  :)
