Focus On Monday | Back to School

Summer is winding down and you know what that means....it's almost Back to School time! Whether you're ready for it or not, the new school year is approaching (fast!) and this week's Focus On theme is all about Back to School.

Diane and I are here today to share a couple of Back to School themed layouts with you.

Diane said, "I have wanted to scrap this photo of my Mom on her first day of Kindergarten for a couple of years now. The Back to School theme this week was the perfect opportunity to do just that! The bright, cheerful colors of the Pinwheel Collection were perfect to highlight the childhood photo of my mom."

"I typed the school themed captions and journaling on the Label Stickers and placed them above and below the photo. I used the brads and the flair from the Embellishment Bundle to add the finishing touches to my layout."

Supplies: Pinwheel Collection (Jump Rope, Apricot Tree, Picnic Basket, Lime Rickey, Cart Wheels, Lemonade Stand, Circle & Tag Stickers, Label Stickers, Letter Stickers, Cardboard Stickers, Embellishment Bundle)

Buying back to school supplies is something that my kids and I look forward to doing at the end of the summer. I just love all of the shiny new notebooks, unsharpened pencils, and perfectly pointed crayons that have the promise of a great new school year ahead of them!

I was very inspired by the subject of geometry for my layout design so I used lots of cutout triangles and punched circles using paper from the PInwheel and Sweet Shoppe Collections.

I layered several Label Stickers on top of each other and added part of my title to them before I stitched through my page. I love how machine sewing adds a homespun feel to my pages.

Supplies: Pinwheel Collection (Picnic Basket, Lime Rickey, Ice Cream Truck, Cart Wheels, Label Stickers, 6x6 Tiny Tablet), Sweet Shoppe Collection (Licorice Whip, Strawberries & Cream, Embellishment Bundle, Label Stickers, Letter Stickers)

Are you ready for Back to School? Be sure and stop back by throughout the week for lots of Back to School themed creations and inspiration! Have a great day!
