Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration September Scrapbook Sketch Challenge: Back to School, MDS Style

Good morning friends!  We were very busy this weekend and were able to enjoy some fabulous weather and family time.  I was so excited for this months scrapbook sketch challenge over on the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration blog.  I've decided to complete my entire 2013 scrapbook in My Digital Studio and while I'm a little behind where I would like to be I love that I can work on my pages anytime and anyplace. 

When I saw this month's scrapbook sketch I knew it would be perfect to document Aidan's first day of school earlier this month.  We're so proud of Aidan and we was so excited to start 3rd grade.  Not only was he looking forward to seeing all his school friends but he was over the moon excited when he found out he was assigned to the teacher he really wanted. 

This sketch is pretty straight forward and I'll just provide the details below on all the MDS supplies that were used on this project.  I was also really excited about this layout since this is the first layout I created in MDS starting with an entirely blank page, normally I start with a pre-designed template and add, delete, and modify to make it my own.

You really need to give My Digital Studio a try, it's a great tool for all sorts of crafting needs, and you can try a FREE 30 day trial, I promise you, you'll love it!
