echo park design team: august blog hop…

August-DT-Blog-Hop-Graphic

Welcome to the Echo Park Paper Design Team Blog Hop! Today the Echo Park Paper Design Team is showcasing projects from our latest collections. 

SW2005_Enjoy_The_Right_Kit_FSince we’ll be heading back to school later this week, I wanted to share a layout I created using the School Days Mini Kit.

school_days_layout

I snapped a couple of quick pictures of Josh one day before he took his state report and display board to school.  I thought this collection was perfect to showcase those photos. :)

school_days_layout_detail1

(Isn’t it crazy to look at a photo of your kids that seems like you JUST snapped, and you see how much they have changed in just over a year?  That was my first thought when I looked at this picture of my cute guy!)

  1. I'm looking forward to this school year because I love back to school shopping <3

    ReplyDelete
  2. I love this layout! School has already started for my kids and I am enjoying the quiet but to be honest I miss them this year, crazy I know:)

    ReplyDelete
  3. Such fun layout! I am looking forward to a couple of hours of peace and quiet... and to possibly squeeze some crafting time in!

    ReplyDelete
  4. I love this layout and the collection. My kids kids dont start back until Aug 27th. With 5 boys I am excited to hear myself think. However it is my baby's first year of school. I am sad that they are all growing up :(

    ReplyDelete
  5. I totally agree with you about how much the kids grow every year. It's so fun to look back to see how they looked in the past (probably part of the reason why I'm so "far behind" on my scrapping - it's part scrapping part reminiscing!) In some ways it's sad that school is starting because we've had a pretty challenging summer with not a lot of free time for fun. On the other hand, the kids and I will be with our friends more, which is a very good thing! Thanks for sharing and for the chance to win!

  6. I don't have kids but September seems to be when everything starts up. Looking forward to learning something new myself this year...like trying a new layout!

    ReplyDelete
  7. I love your layout! This is such a fabulous collection!!

    I work for the school board so the start of school means back to work for me and back to school for my daughter. It's a mixed-feeling time! I enjoy my job but I so love my time with my girl in the summer!!

    ReplyDelete
  8. Great layout Wendy. School is such an important part of life.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Wonderful layout! I am not looking forward to having a schedule again, yuck!

    ReplyDelete
  10. THe layout is gorgeous. The school in part of the formation of my kids, so its important in their life.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Unfortunately school has already been in session for a week and this second week seems harder to get up than last week! I look forward to the structure and routine after a lazy summer, but I also dread the structure and routine after a lazy summer... it's a double edge sword for me.

    ReplyDelete
  12. LOVE, love your layout Wendy! And yes, the kids change WAY too fast!

    We homeschool year-round, so not really much different for us. But I do like the excitement of knowing fall is coming. And more family days ahead just being together and not so much running around.

    Summer is busy for us-like most families so I guess I would say I am looking forward to slower days.

    Thanks for the recommendation of Courtney's book- on my wish list!

    ReplyDelete
  13. School beginning has a new meaning when you are a grandma. I am excited for school to start because I love to see the change in the grandkids as they get their school pictures taken. Love them in their uniforms, they look so sharp and smart! LOL

    Great layout, thanks for sharing!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'm looking forward to hearing how our grandkids are doing in school this year and how our sons and daughter in laws will fare in their college courses. We're excited for all in their education adventures since they live so far away from us -- but share lots of pictures!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I am looking forward to school starting so that I can have more mommy time, but also because I love to volunteer in their classrooms. I am the art parent for both of my kids' classrooms and I just love sharing the projects with 50 excited kids, and teaching them to *love* art as much as I do!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Great layout! My twins will be 3 and are not in preschool yet. However, when they do go I'll look forward to some free time to get things done! :)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Can't believe it is back to school already!

    Since I don't have any kiddos of my own, I have dubbed myself the official "Room Aunt" of my sweet little niece's class!

    Back to school time is back to craft time for me!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Great layout! My son is starting kindergarten, so I am kind of looking forward to some time to actually get something accomplished, although I will miss him, so it will be bitter sweet!

    ReplyDelete
  19. My kiddos are too young for school this year, but I know I will be a crying mess when my son starts kindergarten next year! I am looking forward to spending some alone time at home with my daughter. Since shes the younger sibling, shes never spent time at home with just her and mommy. :)

    ReplyDelete
  20. I like summer's relaxed schedule with my kids so I am not looking forward to back-to-school schedules! :p

    ReplyDelete
  21. Well, I am the one starting back to nursing school today and it is my final semester. That right there is a good reason to get started and get it over with. Great layout and super cute collection! TFS!

    ReplyDelete
  22. This looks awesome Wendy!! :) One reason I'm not looking forward to school starting is because I'll miss my girls like crazy!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'm looking forward to getting back to routine but not looking forward to packing lunches again!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Great layout Wendy! I'm a bit partial to your son's project because I was born and raised in Idaho! So his project rocked! lol. Our school's have already started her in AZ. I'm glad it back to school time so we can get back into a routine! Thanks for the chance to win some EP goodness!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'm looking forward to school starting, because I homeschool my kids and it's so fun to learn right alongside them! (:

    ReplyDelete
  26. Very nice layout. Makes me wish I wasn't an empty nester, LOL. Thanks for the chance to win some goodies.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Great layout!! Well School has already started here. I am excited for it to start for my lil ones. They come to work with me everyday during the summer, so it's nice to have a lil me time. But I really like them being involved back in school with their friends and doing fun stuff. They amaze me every day, the things they learn.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I don't have children, but what I love about back to school is that my nieces and nephews stories about school, and school pictures!

    ReplyDelete
  29. What a great LO! School has already started here and while it's nice to get the kids out of the house for a while, it's a lot of work to organize them (particularly when you have a bunch of little procrastinators in the house!). Plus, as a SAHM, I don't spend NEARLY as much time at home as people who don't stay home think I do! There are so many activities that take me away from home during the day.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Love your layout! I am so ready to get back in a routine again with school starting. Today was the first day!

  31. What a fun layout! I'm looking forward to the start of school as it's our first. My daughter enters kindergarten. She is SO excited and I am too. I'll be cutting back to part time so I can drop her off and pick her up.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I love Friday night football! This year I'm especially excited that my daughter is part of the band colorguard and I'll get to watch her at halftime :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. School started here a couple of weeks ago! (Aug 2)
    We're glad that the kids are off to a good start!
    What a fantastic page!
    Thanks for the hop!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Love this layout, Wendy! I agree, they grow so fast, don't they? I am not looking forward to school starting because of all the stuff I have to do, LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Thanks for sharing your layout! I don't have kids yet, but I don't like it when school starts anyway as it makes my commute to work longer with the extra traffic!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Wonderful school layout, Wendy! I love this kit - great colors for older kids. I'm really not looking forward to school starting. My kids are older, one in high school and one in college. I like having them around all summer!

    ReplyDelete
  37. So Cute..love your layout. Love the paperclips!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Thanks for the great projects. I have mixed emotions about back to school. I will miss our beach days and day trips. I do love fall though, getting back to a routine and a new year of girl scouts. kim

    ReplyDelete
  44. I'm looking forward to school starting because I work in a kids store. The kids have been going crazy and making a MESS of the store!

    ReplyDelete
  45. School started here last week. Not happy at all. I love having my kids home with me. No activities, no homework, no deadlines, no routines etc. Summer is just so wonderfully stress free around this house.
    I'm still not use to my kids being gone, I miss them!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Im so glad that i am not in school anymore! Instead of focusing on homework, grades and extra curriculars, i can just focus on projects that i want to spend my time on!!! More scrapping and cardmaking!!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I'm excited for the new school year to begin. My son will be entering 5th grade and a new school! We're both really stoked about getting into this charter school!

    ReplyDelete
  48. i look forward to the malls being empty again through the day but I do not look forward to the bus traffic in the morning once again. :)

    ReplyDelete
  49. Awesome project!
    I do not have kids, so the start of the school year would normally make no difference to me, but i do have 2 very special nieces (one is going in the 2nd grade and the other is starting kindergarten) and i know that they are pretty excited, so i am excited for them!!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  50. One of the best parts of school starting is shopping for school supplies. And this year my daughter and I used washi to make those supplies uniquely her own!

    ReplyDelete
  51. For me with no kids, the worst part about school starting is all the traffic in my neighborhood! The best part is seeing all the kids dressed up for their first day! Thanks for the hop!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Wow, how fun! Can't wait to get back to routines and for the kids to get back to school.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I graduated from college recently, so I don't care if school starts or not. YEA!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  54. I am starting over with school and a grandson. I am not looking forward to getting up early but i am excited for him

    ReplyDelete
  55. Your layout is great!
    We don't have little ones at home anymore so it's kind of hard to answer. I am looking forward to this awful heat ending and fall getting here.

    ReplyDelete
  56. No children at home here either, but I'm excited for my daughter who is starting grad school next week.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I teach (grown-up) students and new school year means new people for me.

  65. It's such a fabulous lay-out. Beautiful multi-photo design and graphic lines!
    I will start school again in only two weeks. Although I love summer vacation and all the spare time I can enjoy now, I also can't wait to finally see my friends again.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I'm not looking forward to school start because i don't have kids. But when I was in school I was excited to begin and use all my new books, and things.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  79. Well it was exciting building up to it but now I've been feeling blue and can't seem to motivate myself since moving my only child into college last Monday ): So hopefully this will inspire me!

    ReplyDelete
  80. Here downunder in NZ, we are not in holidays so the thing I am looking forward to soon is the end of winter and the arrival of spring. Love the LO!

    ReplyDelete
  81. I love this layout! Definitely going Ro be downloading the instructions once I've finished this blog hop! I love all the details and the big journallin cards! I am in 2 minds about the kids going back to school! On the one hand I can't wait - they are beginning to get bored (they are used to a 6 week summer holiday in the uk) and I can't wait to get back in my scrappy room without being constantly interupted! But also, I know that when they go back, winter isn't far from coming! 6 months of LOTS of snow is not good!! Thank you so much for the inspiration and the chance to win! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  82. Our school year in NZ is from February to December with our summer break over December/January so I dont have the stress of kids returning to school yet but I'm loving the inspiration of the school layouts. When they do return I like to get March out of the way because that's when all the costs come in EEEEK! What I love about it is the kids enthusiasm to get back to school. I took a pic of my now 13 year old last year on the first day and last day of the school year and it was AMAZING how much she'd changed. :))

    ReplyDelete
  83. I'm no longer affected by school or school holidays, but sometimes I have a longing to return and learn something new. It's good to have dreams! - HeatherP

    ReplyDelete
  84. It is a bittersweet time but I am really proud of my boys. They are learning so much.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Great layout!! I'm not looking forward to school starting again, because I like going out with my children, but they like playing with their friends:( (LOL:P)

    ReplyDelete
  86. I'm looking forward to seeing my son's excitement for the first day of 2nd grade, which happens to be his birthday. Double excitement!! The years are passing so quickly that I am determined to enjoy his happiness while it lasts.

    ReplyDelete
  87. I'm trying hard to think of something to look forward to but withmy youngest going off to college I'm just looking forward to her first break where she can come back! yikes!

  89. Here in Australia we are just over halfway through our school year, so I'm actually looking forward to my kids' next break in October, when we can get away camping for a week and have a rest from the usual morning routine!

    ReplyDelete
  90. I am really excited about the kids starting school again, because I love the routine! It is nice to have the house to myself in the morning, too!

    ReplyDelete
  91. We just had our back to school today. It was hectic but life is hectic in general regardless of the situation. I enjoyed preparing my sons school supplies, encorporating their mom's craftiness in some of it. It is going to be busy (since I have 3 of them in school) but I know I'll enjoy this journey with them as they grow, learn & discover.

    ReplyDelete
  92. I am not looking forward to school..I have a Senior who really does not want to complete required college related stuff. Can hardly wait for this year to be over.

    ReplyDelete
  93. I am looking forward to getting back to a routine again when my son goes back to school. Very cute layout!

    ReplyDelete
  94. We have already started school. We are on week three. I love the routine that comes with it. Plus it also means it is almost our vacation time!

    ReplyDelete
  95. i love the new school year mainly for two reasons:
    1) new clothes, love to see all the kids in their new threads
    2) great pictures and great paper for all those back to school layouts.

    love echo park

    ReplyDelete
  96. We have already started school here. I had mixed emotions about this school year. It is a big deal my oldest son started kindergarten this year and my 3 year old started pre-school. I can't believe that they are that big to be in school already! Time flies! I am looking forward to a bit of quiet time for myself. I already have some craft time designated! Can't wait to get crafty! Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  97. I am indifferent, summers are fun, but they must come to an end at some point. Super cute layout. I am a new follower!

  98. I am not looking forward to school starting because I re-married in May and now will have THREE high schoolers to contend with. With my oldest two college-age and beyond, I had seen the light at the end of the tunnel, only to have to turned off for a few more years! On the bright side (speaking of lights! LOL), we have two hours of quiet time every evening, and this is my scrapbooking time, so I am looking forward to that time again!

    ReplyDelete
  99. This is such a nice layout and I love how you used multiple photos on it. When my kids were little, I always looked forward to having some free time once they started back to school but did not look forward to supervising homework!

    ReplyDelete
  100. I'm always looking forward when school starts. I get to think of lots of ways for preparing snacks and lunch boxes.

  102. i love the little pair of glasses, so cute ;)

    ReplyDelete
  103. Fun collection and page.

    I don't have children, but one reason I can think of that I am looking forward to school starting is that the malls and stores won't be so crowded during the day!

  105. Top two reasons I love school starting again...

I could do without that! and I know my son hates it more than me.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Cool page about your son - so perfect for these EP papers...and I know exactly what you mean about time going by so fast!!

  145. My commute to work is longer because of the heavier traffic that comes with the beginning of a new school year. But I don't mind, really, as children going to school is a GOOD THING! :0) And sweet layout ... right down to the "paper" paper clips!!

  149. Our school started this week and the only reason I am not looking forward to it is the drive to and from school . . . oh, I forgot to tell you I am a school bus driver LOL!

  150. When you don't have kids, it doesn't really make much of a difference when school starts, except that they just dropped the speed limit even more in school zones. That will take a bit of getting used to.

  151. not looking forward to starting again because I am a part time tutor and that mean my day time is occupied, thus less time for crafting.

    I can't believe the summer flew by so fast and the kids are going back in a week. I'm not looking forward to making 3 school lunches :(

  154. Cute LO, love the stitching and little paper clips :) I'm not looking forward to it - this will be my daughter's first day of kindergarten and I'm wayyyyy more nervous and scared for her than I need to be.. I'm a perpetual worry-wart!
