Hi everyone, so glad you could join the Nikki Sivils and Ribbon Carousel Blog Hop. Be sure to hop along everyone's blog so that you do not miss out on some great inspiration!
Today I have used the School is Cool - LOVE this collection! In our school we are not allowed to have the children's first and last names displayed so that at a glance it is easy to see them. Thus we hang our attendance clipboards backwards. Well after a year of staring at an ugly clipboard I decided it was time to remedy that! I used my Cricut to cut out the black letters, a notebook punch for the edge of the pattern paper, the little apple is a Unity stamp but all else is from the School is Cool collection. I then used some Black V Striped Twill as an added decoration and the pencil is tied on with some Twine (which my secretary will be happy with - no loose pencil to deal with) both available at the Ribbon Carousel. Just a bit of FYI to adhere the paper I have used the Beacon 3 in 1 and the ribbon with the Fabric adhesive, I am very happy with how well these have worked!
For my next project I have used the same paper pack to create a little back to school backpack for one of my girls. I have filled it with some hershey kisses. The template for the backpack can be found here. I have used the May Arts Printed Twill along with some Twine.
I am entering these in Jen's Back to School challenge and the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge (school themed cupcakes). And the challenge this week at the Ribbon Carousel is Back to School, why don't you play along!
The Ribbon Carousel will be giving away a $25 gift certificate to the Ribbon Carousel Store and Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker will be giving away a scrapbooking kit (winner's choice!) Enjoy the hop and be sure to leave some blog love along your way to be eligible for the prizes! Winners will be announced Saturday night at 8:00 PM EST.
Now be sure to hop along everyone's blog to see all of the wonderful inspiration!
