First Grade Happenings

Hi all! I'm finally caught up posting my projects! Here is a layout I created the other day using this sketch from Paper Issues:

I had four photos to work with, but this sketch worked well to adjust to use all of them. I started by smooshing dark blue watered down ink on my background. Once that was dry, I splattered the yellow. I battled my Cricut a bit to get those blocks of patterned paper with the tabs to include the word and heart, but we figured it out and got them to cut. I also used my Cricut to cut the title. I layered up the "1st Grade" for some dimension. I found some circle journaling spots that had numbers on them, but they worked otherwise, so I used stickers to cover the numbers and make them work with my layout. A cute little school bus sticker and some puffy stickers finished off this layout.
