Today I collected 3/4 of a mountain of essays to grade (the rest will come tomorrow), so I thought I'd sneak in a post before it all gets too busy around here. How about a couple layouts featuring that cute boy I'm married to? Ok then:
I always try to snap a photo of the boy on his first day of school -- sometimes he obliges (grudgingly), and sometimes I have to sneak one (last year's features Andrew brushing his teeth!). This year he obliged, probably so I wouldn't scrap a toothpasty version of him :) I used the same Fancy Pants goodies that I used in this post, along with a few bits and bobs from my stash, plus a fun "keep calm and..." stamp from Maya Rd.
The title is layered over some tape, and I made a little rosette with a glue dot and some embroidery floss.
This next layout needs a little explaining -- you see, we play pub trivia every Tuesday, generally with a friend or two. For awhile, we had a dream team of four -- Andrew and I, plus our friends Rob and Jon. Between us, we had a wide range of generally useless information to draw upon. ;) One night, the stars aligned and...
Anyway, since this game our buddy Rob moved out of state for a job, so now we mostly play as a team of three. We do ok, but we haven't since had a perfect game. Maybe tomorrow?
Anyway, that's all of my September projects for Scrappy Chic. I have more from a scrap session at the store, plus a bunch I've done since...whoa. Lots more posting to do!
Until then -- have a lovely evening! Wish me some grading luck, will ya? Thanks.

Hi Angela - More great pages and on two of my most favorite subjects - school and trivia - you and your LOs rock!! I really like how you put the game sheet on the crossword paper and I just learned how to make the homemade chipboard buttons last week + your comment was hilarious - LOL!! Always enjoy your work & hope you get those papers graded(I remember my dad doing the same thing at the dining room table when I was growing up). Bye, Cathy C.
Good luck plowing through those essays! Great pages, I love scrapping everyday life. Love your choice of products on the second page, great marriage of paper, photos and story!
My husband NEVER lets me take his picture. He's a teacher and I tried to get a first day of school picture of him two years ago and I ended up getting a picture of him walking down the stairs to the front door. lol
Good luck with the papers. I guess having all summer off does have some downsides ;)Love the scrable paper on the second layout..perfect for the photo!! (and good luck if your playing trivia tonight!!)
Love:
1) Button coverage of the photo bomb!
2) Knowing smarty pants bloggers who get perfect trivia scores!
3) That crossword puzzle background!
4) Taking first-day photos of Andrew!
5) With Keep Calm stamps!
6) And paper that is vaguely reminiscent of Freaks & Geeks titles!
Off to part II!
The button covering up the lady is hilarious. I love that you included the score sheet on your LO. Your first LO makes me smile...great layering. The spirograph-looking flower is AWESOME and so is your little rosette. Good luck with the mountain of grading...ugh, I don't miss that!
Gosh, I so don't miss marking. :D But enough about me... :D
Great pic if your boy on the first day of school. Love all the little details, and the Keep Calm... stamp is perfect for a first day layout, as is the bg paper, even if he does teach slightly older kids! :P
Awesome layout of the trivia night perfect score, too! But I'm confused... celebrating with root beer floats -- at a pub???
What fun layouts! That is one hilarious story of you trying to capture A on his first day of school. Love how dapper he looks in this non-teeth-brushing photo! :P And I love the idea of you all beering and gaming together. Very cool to include the score sheet!
What awesome layouts! I love that your hubby succumbed this year!! I love that alphabet paper, how perfect for the page.
That's so awesome that you guys do pub trivia weekly, so much fun!
