Learning is an Adventure YouTube Hop

Hello, lovelies!

I have something exciting and a bit different to share with you today!

Sara Scraps hosts a YouTube hop every September about school since that marks the beginning of school year in the northern hemisphere.  I'm so happy to be taking part and Sara has done an incredible job running the hop so smoothly and organizing so many people so efficiently!

As I mention in my video (link below), the product focus for the month of September in Sara's Facebook group Rediscover Your Stash is SKETCHES.  I decided to extend it a little further and include scraplifts as well since the two are pretty similar in my mind.

I chose to scraplift this layout (click on following links) of Shimelle's which can be found both on her Instagram and Facebook pages.

Here's the link to my video and I hope you visit all the other ladies taking part too.

We're still fine tuning my filming set up so it's not ideal yet and depending on the size of your screen you may miss some of the details.

I opted to make a "first day of school" layout, but it was the first day LAST year rather than this year since I just felt like telling that story.  I don't scrapbook chronologically so I'm always up for any theme or story any time!

Here's the journaling that was key to the story:

It was a beautiful morning and combined with Max's mood it seemed an appropriate choice!

"Best Day Ever" phrases make me a tad twitchy (but I'm quite OK with using them facetiously 😝)

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you watch all the talented ladies taking part.  You can find their videos in the description box when you visit the link to my video above.

Love and crafty collaborations!
