First Day of School Interview
Trishosaurus designed a coordinating page to go with her cover page. When your little one gets home from his first day of school, capture his feelings by asking him questions and recording the q&a in your scrapbook page. A lined paper, handwriting fonts, and of course, the adorable first-grader’s picture make this digital scrapbook page a real keepsake.

Imagination
When asked what her inspiration for this page was, Mom2*Lauryn*Jacob* said, “I wanted to show the wonders of learning and using your imagination together on this page. I think it is important to nurture not only a child's mind through education and their soul through the arts. When you combine the two it can have magic.”

Kindergarten Moments
Backpack pictures and a good-bye hug are the moments that this momma wanted to remember from her child’s first day at kindergarten. This page, designed by MommaDucks, was inspired in part by a free digital scrapbook kit. The date, written in a handwriting font, and the sentimental pictures clipped onto the chalkboard frame make this scrapbook one of her favorite “memory pages.”

Starting Homeschool
School isn’t just about going to school. Homeschooling moms want to remember their children “starting school” too. Kit Kat designed this page using ABCs and 123s framed around a kindergarten-style lined writing paper. Scissors, paint and a pencil decorate the multi-colored page. Inside she wrote about how she was looking forward to starting kindergarten with her son and helping him learn new things.

No Fear
C&K'sMama loves the bright colors on this page. The page was designed for her special needs daughter who was entering her first day of school. She said, “My daughter is special needs and in our state they enter the public school system at 3 years old to get therapy and services. She began school the day she turned 3 years old and had no fear. I am so very proud of her.”
