Little Miss Back to School

Hello, I have a new layout to share! It's back to school time and I have some (old) back to school photos to share. This girl just started 7th grade this year!

I was inspired by this sketch from Sketches In Thyme:


I started by smooshing some yellow ink on my background where I was going to put my photos. Then I used a stencil and ink blending tool to make the orange circles (I'm really liking this stencil). I finished the ink work with some splatters of blue ink. I laid out my photos and went to work embellishing. I ended up pulling out the October Afternoon Modern Homemaker collection. I'm getting down to scraps of that, but this design lended itself well to that restriction. I cut the pencil, apple, star and title with my Cricut. For my journaling, I used a journaling stamp and black ink and stamped off the page. I felt like I needed a little something between the title and journaling so I used a piece of washi tape. I finished off the page with enamel dots, brads and some puffy stickers. 


 I am also entering this in the Lasting Memories plaid/gingham/check challenge since I used lots of those patterns on here. 

Thanks for stopping by to check out my layout!
