Layout Tuesday: You're A Star

Hello Paper Crafters! We're here today sharing a layout using drama themed stickers from Karen Foster Design. 

Our layout came together quickly using the 12x12 Performance Collage patterned paper, matching American Crafts cardstock, and Show Business Cardstock Stickers. We used a small portion of the patterned paper, adding border strips of black cardstock. Our favorite white pen was used to add faux stitching. 

The stickers were great for embellishment clusters and the title. The two spotlights included in the package were added to the top of the layout. We added a black line with a ZIG Writer to anchor them to the page. 

A few lines for journaling, and this layout is complete! 

*The photos used on this layout were taken by Megs Colleen. You can find more of her work here.

Layout Tuesday: Back To School

We're celebrating September with lots of Back to School items, inspiration, and this awesome coupon. 

For this week's layout, Nicole used the Making The Grade collection by Reminisce. The collection is full of school-themed patterned papers, including lockers, stars, apples, and pencils. You won't want to waste a single piece of it! The numbers border in this layout is actually the backside of the barcode label on the paper. A perfect way to use even the piece that should be cut off!

Our favorite products in the collection are the dimensional stickers. Nicole used them all over this layout. Those stars are just too cute! 

We dug up an additional layout using the Making The Grade collection and included it in today's inspiration. In the layout below, you'll notice more patterned papers and stickers. We love this background paper, Between Classes. To ground all of the photos and dimensional embellishments, we added strips of paper to the background.

Thanks for stopping by today. Do you take photos of your growing students every year? We'd love to hear how you document the school year... Let us know in the comment section below!
