School Days | Simple Stories | Book Fair

 

Here’s a new layout using the fabulous Book Fair collection from Simple Stories – and oh my goodness, I’ve been waiting for a collection like this to use with school photos for ages! Book Fair is absolutely perfect. I love the bright primary colours, the super cute school-themed icons, and have you SEEN those flower clusters with the pencils in them?! They are just the cutest.

For this layout, I cut a large circle from one of the patterned papers and then chopped it into four pieces. I wanted it to represent 'fractions' because that’s what I’ve been teaching my little boy lately – I couldn’t resist sneaking that little theme in! I put the pieces onto a white background and flipped two of them over to show the reverse pattern too.

I added three photos, one of each of my children on their first day back to school this academic year. I can’t believe how fast they’re growing up!

I used the big “Take Note” journaling card (love that!) and added a tag from the Tag Elements sheet. For the title, I went with the “School Days” foam sticker – nice and bold! I also tucked in a few of those gorgeous flower clusters from the Floral Bits (the ones with the pencils, I’m completely obsessed), plus lots of cute icons from the Bits & Pieces pack: little maths cards, alarm clock, books, glue stick… they’re just all so adorable.

To finish it off, I added a few phrase stickers from the Cardstock Stickers, some Decorative Brads, handwritten journaling, and a few splatters of black paint.

I absolutely love how this layout turned out – and I’m completely in love with this collection. You will definitely expect to see many more pages from me using Book Fair!

Happy scrapping,
