First Day Of School Scrapbooking Page Elements

In just a few short months (August), my twins will be starting Kindergarten.

I figured I would go ahead and get started on the scrapbooking pages for their first day.

I decided to make a few Scrapbooking Page Elements for now and later I will add a few embellishments to the pages such as the red shimmer trim and enamel dots. The Stargazer dots in red, blue and yellow will be perfect. I already have some of those in my stock, but for those of you that, don't be sure to get them before they leave at the end of the month. Our current seasonal expressions ends at the end of April and our new one begins May 1st.

My Scrapbooking Page Elements, give you a sneak peek as to what is to come...

The patterned paper included in these two elements are both from the new "Central Park" Collection. It is gorgeous and definitely a versatile set of prints.

Where are my balloon festival friends? You will want this collection for all of your festival photos and memories.

The stamp set used is one of the Stamp Of The Month sets from 2017, called "School Year".

It is a retired set, however some of you may have it in your collection.

I stamped the sentiment and the pencils in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

I colored the pencil stamp in using markers, and distressed the edges of the white cardstock using Cranberry Exclusive Ink.

I can't wait to see what you create with these new patterned papers!

A Cute Christmas Thank You Card...

Am I the only person who sends Christmas cards out and thank you cards for the gifts I receive?

Here is one of the many thank you cards I will create over the next few weeks, to send out right after Christmas.

The adorable reindeer is from the digital image set

Jingle Jolly by Pickled Potpourri Designs.

All of the paper is from Close to my Heart.

I used the Cranberry cardstock, Sweet Leaf cardstock, and gold foil paper.

The "Thanks" sentiment is from the Close to my Heart

"Feel So Blessed" stamp set.

I also used the Sweet Leaf Ink pad to distress the edges.

I entered the card in a few challenges:

A Bit More Time to Craft - anything goes

Colour Crazy - anything goes

Christmas Is Only 155 Days Away...

That's right, 155 days or 22 weeks away.

It will be here before you know it. Im usually pretty good about shopping for gifts throughout the year, but Christmas cards... that's a different story.

So every year I start in July, and I still don't always finish in time.

In my defense however, we don't receive many cards, and I usually end up sending folks cards, that never send us one, so I at least start with the ones that do send us one first.

So for this card, I kept things rather simple.

I started with a white card base, which I rarely do, but for this I decided to go with white.

I cut 1/2 inch strips of several pieces of Fundamentals Papers.

There's probably at least 1 pattern from each color family.

The larger red strip in the middle, was cut at 1 inch.

I adhered each strip, then trimmed down the edges.

The sentiment "Happy Holidays" is from the current stamp set "Short & Sweet" Sentiments.

The outline is a stamp from our older retired "Cute Koalas" stamp set, in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

After stamping the sentiment with my Cranberry Mini Pigment Pad, I also sponged the edges, after fussy cutting it out.

I cut a 1 1/2 inch circle out of the yellow patterned paper from the Prickly Pear Paper Pack. I cut it in half so that each side peeks out from behind the sentiment.

Then I adhered two small Rhinestone Clear Sparkles for a little extra pizzazz.
