Welcome to School Cards

I made up a set of "Welcome to School," cards to mail out to my preschoolers. These are very simple: one layer except for the popped up apple from the Good Work stamp set. I cut my paper to a smaller size (3" x 6") than a standard card because I wanted to fit them into regular (#6 3/4) envelopes. 



Supplies used: (D1385) Good Work stamp set, (C1345) Family Ties Children stamp set, (D1303) Classmate Alphabet stamp set, (Z2105) Black stamp pad, (Z2134) Moonstruck stamp pad, (Z2125) Grey Wool stamp pad, (Z2116) Cranberry stamp pad, Variety of CTMH markers, (1385) White Daisy cardstockPin It

Olivia Fall Themed My Creations All Sorts Mini Album

The 2010 Autumn/Winter Idea Book is here! Click on the link at the right to take a look!

I used one of my favorite new paper packs, Olivia, and the All Sorts Mini Album, to make a little fall themed scrapbook. The pictures will be added later but most pages will easily fit a vertically oriented 4" x 6" photo. I can crop horizontally oriented ones or just print them in a smaller size.  I used a lot of our new Mocha Opaques (look at the middles of the little paper flowers, the Filigree Charms, and the edges of some of the scalloped pages). I used a tape runner to hold the paper to the album but added Liquid Glass in a lot of places such as some of the edges and to hold the Filigree Charms in place. I colored the Dimensional Elements which spell out "Fall" on the front cover with a Bamboo marker and then sponged Sunset and Chocolate ink onto it. Most of the edges of the papers were distressed with Chocolate ink.

I really tried to use up some of my embellishments (which is difficult for my hoarding sensibilities!). I even used up some of my Just Blooms Leaves which were retired awhile back but I've been holding onto for some special occasion! I will be ordering some of the new mini medley packs and will probably add more items (perhaps some plain cardstock pages or Flip Flaps) and even some rub ons later on, maybe after adding my pictures, but I wanted to post this now so you could see the pretty Olivia paper.
