KSCC17 - School Dayz Book


Happy Kitchen Sink Monday!! Since it is the first Monday of the month, that means it is time for another Kitchen Sink Crew Challenge (KSCC17)!! Today, the challenge is hosted by Maki, and she is challenging us to go Back to School! To use school supplies or items to make a card or project! Extra apple point for the school themed project :) I decided to create this little School Dayz book for my DD. I saw a book similar to this in a catalog the other day, and though...Oh I could make that...so here is my version!

The cover was made using the 3 step School Days set. I created the background paper with the apple image. Additionally, the book image is from this set. The sentiment was created using the Monogram and Alphabet stamp set. I heat embossed the letters with versamark and white EP on black paper to give it a chalk board look. I then framed that with the label 8 Nestabilities. To embellish the corners of the nesties, I used some mini paper clips from Tim Holtz...which qualifies at the use of school supplies for this school themed project! :)

The inside pages are all the same with fun school facts to fill out about your child. I have also left a space so that I can add a picture for each school year from Kindergarten to 12th grade! The bottom of each of the pages have been stamped with the ruler image from the 3 step School Days set.

Please head on over to see all the other creation the Crew members have created week for you!!
