new release and a deal

One of my favorite elements to add to my pages are labels. I love them. I like that you can use them to date a page, add journaling, or just as a design element. New in my shop today are these labels:



And just for my blog readers, here's a coupon to save 20% on these labels:

LOTS of new hybrid printables

I was asked by Krista of Sahlin Studio a few weeks ago if I wanted to work on a back-to-school hybrid collab with her. Ummm... yes. No-brainer... I love Krista's work! We have back-to-school printables up the wazoo for you today. They were all created using Krista's Explore.Learn.Grow. kit. Okay, here we go...

First, whip up a gift with these printable boxes and cards. Super easy... just print and assemble. Instructions are included.



Next we decided to create a whole back-to-school set complete with book labels, backpack tags, and composition notebook covers. LOTS of different options here.



I think this last one is my favorite. There are 30 different variations of notes in this set that you can surprise your child with while they are at school. My kids love it when I leave one of these notes in their lunch bag or backpack. You can leave them anywhere for them to find... on their pillow, on the bathroom mirror, in their school bag, lunch box... wherever!



Can't decide which one to get? We created a bundle of the three so you can get all three at a great deal!!



Check back later and I'll post some pictures of some of these all printed out so you can get a better look!

layout to share

Holy moly... I actually made time to scrapbook. I made this page a couple weeks ago before my son turned 9. These are pictures I took of him near his 8th birthday. I was really happy with the way this turned out.
