Backpack I.D tag First Day of 1st Grade

Click here for My Memories Suite Giveaway

Well this was a last minute project! My daughter is starting 1st grade tomorrow and I thought, hmmm she needs an I.D tag for her backpack. Even though it was a quickie, I am happy with the way it turned out.

I made this tag from Designs on Cloud 9's School Bears Collection

I used a journal block stamp on the back, stamped the little hearts all over the pink card stock because it looked a little too plain...

filled in her info on the back, laminated it, added an eyelet, star brads for the "clasps" on the pockets, a key ring and Whala!

She is going to love it!

My Memories Suite software Review & GIVEAWAY!

OK , so as I mentioned in a few posts back, I was given the opportunity to review My Memories Suite Digital Scrapbbook software. Well, I have been playing with it and it is AWESOME ~ and I am loving it! I need to get some more kits when I get some extra dough, but none the less I am liking it, A LOT!

It is pretty easy to navigate and use and what you don't know they have several very good tutorials on their blog and there is super supportive Facebook friends that will jump right in and answer your questions! They also have videos on their Youtube Channel...

So here are a few layouts I have been playing around with.

These were all done with a blank slate except for the last one.

I did the layouts and added the embellies, but they have quick pages where you just drag and drop your photos into. The last layout I used is a Designer Template & I added a .png file from Designs on Cloud 9 The 2nd to last one also has a .png from Designs on Cloud 9 also.
