The Beginning of School Blog Hop Day #1


Hi Everybody!
If you just came from the very creative Michelle's blog @ http://peanutbutterandjellydes​igns.blogspot.com/ then you are in the right spot!   If you just stumbled into this Blog Hop, then by all means join us!  This is a great hop featuring Back to School Crafts! Please head over to see Kathryn at http://www.creationswithkathry​n.com/to start from the very beginning.  Be sure to read to the very end to have a chance at blog candy!


"Kindergarten" 2009
This is a 12x12 two page layout featuring two different background papers.  I usually use matching background papers, but this last week I decided to use up some papers I had laying around and decided I wasn't breaking any scrapbooking "rules" if I used two different papers!

Left Hand Side
The background paper is unknown but it features a cute chalkboard scene.  I cut "Kindergarten" from Locker Talk (Love that cart!) on some fun crayon swirl paper (also unknown maker).  Then I matted a 5x7 photo of my daughter on yellow school lined paper (hard to see in the photos, but matches journaling block).  The yellow school lined paper is from The Hittin' the Books Stack from DCWV.

 Right Hand Side
The background paper is a coordinating yellow pencil paper with cute apples (also unknown maker!).  The photos on this page are matted in the same red swirl crayon paper as the title is cut from and then I ran a 2 inch stripe behind the lower photos.  I wrote the journaling on the yellow school lined paper in red ink and then matted all of that!  

Note:  I think all the unknown paper is from the Dollar Tree in a school pack; however I am unsure!
