Happy Monday!It is CHA {Craft & Hobby Association} time, and the release of all the fabulous new scrapbook releases!!! I know there are few items already on my wish list. Do you have your favorites?
Today, on the Fancy Pants Blog the designers are sharing their gorgeous pages using the new school collection by Fancy Pants. Now I am in love with all four of their releases! However, Off to School stole my heart! I love, love the apple patterned paper! This collection has a retro feel, but with all the basics of back to school! If you have school age children, this collection should be one of your CHA must haves!
The following page is of my sweet Macie. I love taking photos of my children after the school year has ended. It is amazing to see how much they have grown in such a short amount of time! I created seven new pages this past week, but I think this one is my favorite! Maybe, it is because I can remember how difficult it was to get one picture of Macie standing still!
Anyone that knows her, understands that she is never one to sit, or stand for more than a minute! Of course, it was my idea with the apple. However,I will let you in on a secret. This apple is the understudy! Macie took a bite out of the first one, and we could not stop laughing! I ran into the house asking my husband for another one, and I could hear Macie screaming that she ate the prop! It was a funny moment, indeed! I simply snapped about a hundred photos of her, and was so happy to see this one! I can see the sparkle in her eyes, and how small she is in the photo. She is my last baby to graduate from Kindergarten, and it simply makes so sad.
Okay, enough talk, onto the page:
ABC & 123
{I think in this photo, she is about to throw the apple in the air!} It does not matter, because I simply love that her personality shines through. As you can see the papers are absolutely gorgeous, and the embellishments could not be more perfect! Every item on this page is from this collection, minus the two added office paper clips!
a few details:
This paper is absolutely adorable, and I could not resist using the Cuttlebug Dot folder for added texture! It is my favorite patterned paper from the collection! I am going to have to a few sheets on hand!
Here I created a cluster with the journal cards, and the fabulous OFF to school embellishments. The ruler is chipboard, and the apple is from the glitter cuts.
In the Embellishment pack you are going to find cute little math facts, that are perfect details to your page!
On the left hand side of the page, I layered my letter "B" to one of the 3x3 cards from the collection, and of course, gave it texture, by using an embossing folder. This is layered again, on a mini notebook paper, and anchored in place with two black brads. The paper clip is from my office stash, and works perfect as an extra detail.
I had so much fun creating this page, and I have a few more photos of Macie to scrapbook. So do not be surprised, if you see this line a lot from me! Fancy rocked this line, and you have to hop over to {here} to see the inspiration from the design team!
I hope you enjoyed today's scrapbook page. All week, I will have new pages to share with you! Including a Christmas Mini Album. Christmas in July? You bet!
Thank you so much for reading today, and hope your afternoon is wonderful!
LOVE this!!! Awesome work! :)
