First Day of Pre-K

I have a first day of school layout to share.  I wanted to use non-traditional colors for it.  I picked my daughter's favorite colors, purple and pink!  

I got this idea a few years ago from a great blog, Scrappin Cricut by Kendra Wiggins.  Here's her layout, which I absolutely love!

She used Cuttin Up for the font and Locker Talk for the cuts.

For my layout, I used Storybook for the font and Simply Charmed for the cuts.  

I used purple stickles for the scissors and some pink twine.

As you can probably see on the "R" I had a little friend try to do her own artistic work while I wasn't looking!  I decided not to redo it, and I thought it was kind of appropriate since it is her scrapbook she will share it  with her family one day.  

 

For the dash, I used a frame and manipulated the size in my gypsy to be .75 inches high and 1.65 inches wide.  Then I just made a shadow a little bigger.

Supplies/Details:

Font-Storybook-2.35 in.

Other cuts-2.25 in.

White gel pen

Purple stickles

pink twine

gem sticker

Recollections cardstock

pattern paper for photo mats from my stash

Here is the finished layout with pictures:

I hope to share some more school layouts with you soon.

Also if you're looking for a good back-to-school gift for your child's teacher, here's an idea:
