Gabie's Composition Notebooks










Kindergarten here we come!!!.
We have waited two extra days to start school, Fay the clumsy storm has messed with us a little bit, and has kept our little ones waiting impatiently to start school. Notice how I say this sarcastically, because my little one has really enjoyed staying home the extra days.

In my continuous effort to motivate her, I have done many of the necessary and not so important things for her to have a great experience in Kindergarten. So, besides buying her the mandatory uniform, and the not so important collection of High school musical book bag, lunch bag, water bottle, pencils, folders and many more, I decided we could decorate those funny looking composition notebooks. She was super excited and couldn't  wait to see the finished results. Unfortunately, she had to go to bed, and will only get to see them tomorrow.

I wasn't sure about it at first, because I didn't know if the teachers were going to object to it, but I did it anyways. I kept a backup, just in case, and also decided to keep the same color background, just to keep it looking like a composition notebook.

Simple enough, I collected my supplies, and took out my #1 friend in the scrapbooking world, The Champion of MY heart" ... My XYRON, machine...

I used a black and white pinstripe paper,  ( to keep the similar background) and some cute school related stickers by Me and my Big Ideas, and Sandylion. I will wait to see if the teachers allow her notebooks to be decorated, and if so, I will then get really creative. For now, this will do, Hopefully Gabie will like them too.
