It’s Mendi here and today I have a colorful layout to share! I couldn’t wait to play more with Lori’s newest paper collection “That’s My Boy” paper pad which she designed for Echo Park! Since I don’t have boys of my own I used many of the basic patterns from the collection to create a colorful back-to-school layout.
For my number border, I cut out an extra size 6 in a contrasting navy to emphasize the fact that she was entering 6th grade. If that wasn’t enough, I added a little arrow to complete my visual triangle. For my title, I used a chalkboard style die cut, but omitted the chalkboard and enlarged the coordinating apple.
I can’t tell you how happy I was to finally get a picture of my daughter boarding a school bus for the first time! We have always lived within walking distance of her schools, but with a recent move we finally lived far enough away to ride the bus and as a scrapbooker dying to play with adorable “bus” themed embellishments for all these years, I was overjoyed. 🙂
I hope I’ve inspired you to look at boy collection with fresh eyes for both genders. 🙂
