Scrapbook Friday - World Teacher's Day

Welcome to 

 Today is my day to be a featured 

Design Team Member

at

My Cricut Craft Room

The theme of our layouts

had to relate to

World Teacher's Day.

This gave me a wonderful opportunity

to make a layout

for Lance Jr.'s Kindergarten Teacher, Mrs. Campbell.

Lance was excited over the summer to go to school, 

but as the first day drew near, he began to feel

a little nervous and stated he "didn't want to go".

After the first day of school, seeing his classroom, 

meeting his teacher, and seeing all

of the other young children,

he hasn't looked back again.

Each day he comes home to tell a story of what

fun Mrs. Campbell had planned for them today

and for the rest of the week!

She has truly turned his nervousness into anticipation

 to return each and every day!

 
My layout was created on an 8 1/2x11 piece

of Recollections Card Stock using a
wonderful sketch by Becky Fleck, from Page Maps 2.

I also used some papers from the $1 bins at 

Target along with K & Company cardstock - Lion Sleeps.

The other papers were all scraps

The frame around my sons picture,

was cut from Graphically  Speaking at 5 1/2".

The fun title word SCHOOL was also cut from Graphically  Speaking, but

at 1" and on blue card stock.

 

 I cut several apples from Doodlecharms at various

sizes (1", 1.25, 1.5", 1.75", and 2").  However

I only used 3 out of the 5 that were cut.

 The report card stamp

is from a Unity Stamp Co. Set called smarty pants

and

I added some stickers by Authentique

The other stickers

in the title are from the same $1 set 

I purchased at Target.

A little Tim Holtz Vintage Photo around the edges

 to finish it all off.

October 100 Cartridge Hop with MCCR

 Welcome to 

the

My Cricut Craft Room

100 Cartridge

Blog Hop

October 1 & 2 

If you are arriving from Lisa Carrier 's Blog, then you are on the right track.
If you need to start from the beginning, please head over to
My Cricut Craft Room.

This month we got to choose 4 Cricut Cartridges that we wanted
to use on our projects.
I chose to use:
Doodlecharms, Holiday Cakes, Nickelodeon SpongeBob, and Slumber Party.
(I threw in a 5th cartridge, too . . .Pretty Pennants)

I have promised each of my kids
that I would make them
a special altered
notebook to draw
and write in.

This one is for Lance Jr.
It was a hit!
When I handed it to him, he told me
"I really super duper like this Mommy"!

Most of the papers used were from my
leftover scraps.

 I tried to take some angled picture so you could see
that I raised SpongeBob up on 3D foam squares.

Bubble Border cut from Holiday Cakes cartridge at 1"

 Seahorse cut from Doodlecharms cartridge at 2"

SpongeBob cut from cartridge at 5"

 Soak It Up Phrase also cut from the SpongeBob cartridge at 5"

Banner was cut from Pretty Pennants cartridge at 3/4"
