School Days Layout

Hello All,

I hope you all are having a great day. Well seems temps are dropping a bit here in Texas, still hot but not as hot as it was a few weeks ago. With that being said kids are back in school and Fall is approaching soon. For today's project I have a scrapbook layout using the Wood Shapes School Apple Shapes from Clear Scraps. 

I really liked using the wooden school and apple in this layout, such a simple addition that adds a great texture and focal point in the layout. I had fun painting them and adding them to the layout. Down below I have a step by step on how I created this cute layout with using the wooden school and apple. 

So let's get started. To start off I have listed below the measurements you will need for each layer. You can view picture above and photo below to see all items needed for the layout. 

1 - pattern paper 12x12

1 - 12x12 pattern paper cut half circle 

1 - 6 x 11 1/2 pattern paper

1 - 5 1/2 x 11 pattern paper

1 - 5 x 7 pattern paper

1 - 5 1/2 x 7 1/2 pattern paper

3 - 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 photo mats (white paper)

3 - 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 base for the photo mats, pattern paper

3 - 1 1/4 x 1 1/2 top layer to the small banners

3 - 1 1/2 x 1 7/8 bottom layer to the small banners

On the left hand side of the 12x12 pattern paper lay down the 6 x 11 1/2 pattern paper first and then place the 5 1/2 x 11 pattern paper on top. I added the ruler border from my paper collection but you can and border you have in your stash. 

Next take the 3 pieces of pattern paper measuring 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 and adhere them down on the left side of the layout. These pieces are your base for your photo mats. 

Create the small banners, as seen below, you will layer the smaller size on top, 1 1/4 x 1 1/2 , of the larger size banner, 1 1/2 x 1 7/8 . 

Adhere the small banners to the side of the red base photo mats. 

Next adhere the half circle that you cut from 12 x 12 paper and adhere that piece down next to the border. Adhere the 5 x 7 inch mat on top of the 5 1/2 x 7 1/2 inch mat, then adhere on the side on top of the half circle. (see below)

Next we are painting the apple and school word. 

I took some of the stickers from the paper collection and added them around my layout. I placed a sentiment and books on top of the apple next to the little girl reading. I adhered down the wooden school word at the top of the my 12 x 12 page next to the Day's banner in the right hand corner. 

Here is the finished photo of the layout. I did add a few little lines to the word.

Happy Crafting.
