back to school blog hop


Hey there,

It feels like forever since I've last posted on here. I haven't been able to find the time to play in my craft room in a long time. Today I am proud to be part of the back to school blog hop for Scrappy Mom Stamps Design Team. If you arrived from Lezlye, then you are in the right spot. If not head on over to Melanie's Blog and start the hop from the beginning. If you're lost somewhere along the way I will put the  hop list at the bottom of this post.
Also, this week we are showcasing 2 new releases from Scrappy Moms Stamps . Click on the images to see the stamp images larger. They are now available for purchase.





Today for my Project I decided to create a layout for my Brother's Scrapbook using School days Stamp Set. I make pages for my mom so she can remember my brother's special moments. the first scrapbook i ever made was for my brother when he was born (6 years ago)
For my Layout I decided to keep it pretty simple. I wasn't sure of the colors in the photos so i just kept it just basic colors. I was inspired by a black board. I stamped the kraft with a woodgrain stamp and SU Crumb cake & soft suede ink to give it a fun pattern. Then I added black paper which I heat Embossed a Kindergarten Border w/ white embossing powder. This layout is simple but it has lots of small details please click the pictures for larger views.

Awesome school layout! Great colors and great details but it's not overwhelming. You can tell the pictures will be the focus. How did you make the ticket (stamped with 1st of day of school)? Is that a punch or diecut? Thanks for sharing.
