First Last Day of Elementary School Life Crafted Traveler's Notebook Page using the School Daze Collection

Oh lawd, HOW? How is it that my YOUNGEST entered his last year of elementary school? I'm going to do a page for the family album, but I also wanted to do a page in my Life Crafted album (that is like my own personal journal) where I could write down my thoughts and feelings on this milestone.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I pre-planned this layout in Photoshop, using the School Daze Collection and used my print and cut feature on my Silhouette to cut out all my stickers, and then reassembled on paper, one of my favorite hybrid techniques because I feel that it combines the best of both worlds!

To really tie these two pages together, I created the same design on either side of the page, using opposite papers for the banners and photo mats.

One of my favorite advantages of pre-planning my layouts in photoshop is the ability to resize my embellishments smaller to fit the page! Nearly everything sticker on this page was resized 25-50% before printing to fit better!

Side note, it's possible I'm the only one, but I enjoy the timestamp on these photos provided by the "mask beard." LOL! It so signifies this time period in our history that when we look back on these layouts, we will easily identify that it was the beginning of the 2020s. Stay safe out there!

Printing the title as all one piece with a “sticker” outline makes it so easy to reassemble in paper!
