Hey everyone, here is another layout using Simple Stories Book Fair. For this layout, I just had to use that adorable row of pencils from one of the patterned papers. I fussy cut them out and turned them into a feature across the page. I added foam pads under the ends to make them stand up a little. I love the extra dimension that gave them!
Underneath the pencils, I added a yellow strip to anchor
everything, then started building my layers. I used the ‘Reading Log’
journaling card as a base and popped my two photos on top. These are from my
little boy’s very first day of school. I’ve been meaning to scrap them for
years! He was only 3 at the time… and now he’s nearly 7! Where does the time
go?
I added one of those gorgeous flower-and-pencil clusters
from the Floral Bits (can’t get enough of those), plus a few cute icons from
the Bits & Pieces. For the title, I used the ‘1st Day’ Foam Sticker: simple
and perfect.
I created a few more little embellishment clusters using the
cutest icons; an apple with a worm, a pen pot, ‘hard work’ rosette, notebook,
clock, camera and more! I also added a few phrase strips from the Cardstock
Stickers for extra details.
To finish it all off, I added some handwritten journaling,
Decorative Brads, and of course, a few splatters of black paint – because no
layout is complete without those!
I really love how this one came together – that little row
of pencils totally stole my heart.
Thanks so much for joining me today, and happy scrapping!
