Wow Wednesdays - SSInk #13

So this is a Wow not because of a technique or product.  Its a Wow because I can't believe my daughter is in first grade!  When I saw the sketch over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration, I knew I wanted to make a first day of school layout.  Here is the sketch first of all.


For my layout, I used the colors of my daughter's outfit, which included some retired colors (Summer Starfruit and Midnight Muse) as well as some retired ribbon and embossing folders and a retired alphabet stamp.   


I used a journal card from Project Life for Five Things about the First Day.  And I have a hard time leaving white space so I made some confetti with the star border punch and used the 2 way glue pen to adhere them.  My daughter was thrilled when she saw the layout!
