The Beginning of School Blog Hop Day #2


Hi Everybody!  It's Day #2 of a wonderful school-related blog hop!  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!


"Congratulations Kindergarten!"  2009
This is another 12x12 two page layout featuring my daughter's last days in Kindergarten.  Sorry for the grainy photo, the lighting is funny here!




Left Hand Side
The background paper is Creative Imagination's Baby Alphabet.  I loved how the alphabet theme reinforced the feeling of Kindergarten.  The title, Congratulations Kindergarten is actually a photo taken on a bulletin board in the hallway!  I thought it was cute and it works great for a title.  I matted all my photos in sunflower yellow and then created little matting squares for various stickers that reinforced the graduation theme.  

The Suzy Zoo Graduation stickers are really cute, but would have gotten lost on the busy background paper if they hadn't have been matted!

The Right Hand Side
I continued the graduation theme with more stickers!  Great use for the end of sticker sheets!  I used Grossman's Sticker's by the Yard, Suzy Zoo Graduation stickers, Frances "Ultimate Grad" stickers and Stickopotamus "Graduation."  Even though the stickers came from four different makers, they work really well together!
