It is time for SCHOOL! We love to take those first day of school photos whether our kids are able to go to their local school or like us having virtual school! I am sharing how to create a that first day of school layout!
Did you know there are some fabulous sites that you can get layouts and card sketches to work with? Creative Scrapbooker Magazine has a “free” sketch layout each month but there are other sites like A Cherry on Top or Page Maps that has both card and layout sketches to name a couple more. Some also have challenges using sketches!
When you work with layouts you can go literal with the sketch or use it as a jumping off point like I did with my layout! I added a collection of journal cards and paper to create the patter of thirds from the layout.
Added a place for a photo where the Title is shown.
Add small cards and border strip where the flowers are shown to be.
Add a the school banner from the Scholastic to top of layout using pop dots and natural twine bows.
If you aren’t a Scrapbooker that is okay; you can use the same sketch idea to create a card or maybe some altered work. Really a sketch is the jumping off place for your creative style. Enjoy, Pam

Hello everyone!
Do you love dies!!!
Join the club ….
SO DO I!!!
I want to encourage today to use your dies to think out side the box…
You don’t always need to use them in card making or scrapbooking
BUT…
you can challenge yourself to create home décor pieces like the Hello Frame I created.
I bought an inexpensive frame and covered it pretty pattern paper from Authentique.
Die cut a doily and stamped Hello using black ink in the center and adhered it to the top of the prepared frame with my Xyron Adhesive.
Die cut pretty flowers and stems and adhere to the corner of the prepared frame.
(I used Diamond Press Dies and Stamps for my Hello Frame.)
Diamond Press creates unique products that can be purchased on HSN or in their online Shop…
Add finishing details by punching out and layering circles together and adding enamel dots to centers of the flowers!
BUT WAIT…
THERE IS MORE…
How about a refrigerator magnet!
YEP…
YOU HEARD RIGHT!
Die cut you favorite flower die out using pattern paper; adhere layers together!
Add die cut leaves and stems to the underside of the flower.
Adhere to top of circle magnet.
WHALLA LA…
REFRIGERATOR MAGNET!
I hope you are inspired today to create fabulous projects using your dies and stamps that you have in your stash!
Enjoy Pam
