First Day of School Photo Keepsake

Share this post

The school year is approaching.  Little Lady is starting her second year of Preschool  She did a little program last year for 2-3 year olds and absolutely loved it.  This year she is in a 4 year old program with the same teacher and so excited.  I wanted to create something special to hold her first day of school photo and a little info about her on her first day. Using my Silhouette I created a very simple keepsake.

I use my Silhouette to cut paper, vinyl, fabric and lots of other materials.  I also use it as a design platform.  For this project I was able to create my whole piece in one place, print some pieces and cut others.  It really is a versatile machine.  If you are interested in your very own Silhouette, keep an eye on Amazon they have some amazing deals.  (the link below is an affiliate link)

I created a 5×7 folder with a printed design on the front.

On the inside I cut a photo frame to hold Little Lady’s first day picture.  Then on the opposite side I used the Silhouette Print and Cut feature to print out some information and cut a simple shape.

On Little Lady’s first day I am going to have her write her name on the inside and fill in what she is most excited about.  I’ll add in her first day picture to have a little keepsake to remember my little girl just as she is.
