The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree
This will be my official post for Monday April 23,2007



This is Paige's first 12 x 12 scrapbook page that she made almost entirely by herself. She had taken the photo's last year with a disposable camera. She made the colorful mat page at school on indoor recess during a rainy day. She brought it home and wanted to mount pictures on it. She cropped the photos herself using my mini paper cutter (with adult supervision). After she mounted the pictures she said I need heavier paper to put it on. I suggested a 12 x 12 sheet of card stock. Then after mounting it she wrote the names with gel markers. I suggested the flower punch detail along the bottom of the page and showed her how to put a patterned strip of paper behind it. Then she punched some more flowers out of the patterned paper and placed them on the page. She had the page hanging in her room on display but we are going to add it to her scrapbook soon.
