Back to School Layout

I had two purposes for creating this layout:

1. I never know what to do with the kids' school portraits when it's time to replace them the next year.
2. If your kids are like mine, you always have a plethora of school papers waiting for a home. 

So I decided to create this page to solve both of those problems.

I made a large pocket using a die cut paper to hold progress reports, newsletters, etc.  The 2nd page showcases Cam's spring portrait.  This layout is something that can be added to as the school year passes.
  

 

As you may have figured out by now, I love adding little details like the button and string.  A project just isn't complete without them!

This layout is for a class I'm teaching this week for Lucky Lark Designs.  If you are interested in any kits, just send an email to orders@luckylarkdesigns.com.  If you can't attend the class, you have the option of purchasing a completed kit, which means all the stamping, punching, and die cutting is done for you.  All you have to do is assemble the pieces.  Easy Peasy!

My Class Layout

 Here is my layout for my upcoming scrapbooking class through Lucky Lark Designs.

I needed a quick family photo one day for a project I was working on.  So we set the timer and headed down our little country lane.  I love how it turned out and decided to use it on this layout as well.

I created the background by laying a paper doily onto white cardstock and spritzing it with Radiant Rain Mist.  Then I removed the doily.  (It still looks like it's there, doesn't it??)  I love the look this created!

I tied some hemp string around these side tags for a little added texture.

I don't normally mix this many manufacturers together, but I really liked it on this layout.  (Creative Imaginations, Cosmo Cricket, Pebbles Inc.).

Do you like my new QuicKutz flower dies?  I love them!!  (Travis said they looked like weeds.  LOL!)

This crepe paper flower was pretty easy to make and, I think, adds the perfect touch.  Once it's inside a sheet protector, it does get a little smooshed, but it still looks pretty!  I will post a tutorial tomorrow.

If you are in the area, please stop by our class next Thursday night!  Details are on the Lucky Lark Designs blog.
