School Days Ensemble



I'm super excited to share this group of projects with you!  I was selected as a Guest Designer for Country Craft Creations this month, so I have to give Tamra Merrill a great big Thank You!  The paper is from October Afternoon, and is called "Milk Money" from their Daily Flash line 2013.  It is different than any other school paper I've worked with.  It mixes a bit of the old school with the new school, with lots of fun and some clever tricks.  The colors are muted, yet still vibrant and cheerful (not your traditional bold school colors).  This paper and it coordinating products has something for everyone in any stage of their schooling!  Here is a list of the products I used to create this ensemble...
 
12 Double sided designer papers
Here and Now "Play" Book
6x8 Paper Pack
Double Take Stickers
Pillow Puff stickers
3x4 and 3x3 Memory Cards
Flash Blurbs
Tin Pins
Washi Tape "Penmenship"
 
 
I also used one sheet of 12x12 chipboard for the Book in a Box
Some white cardstock for the mini Mini
Ribbons from my stash
Graph paper for the frame background
and lots of foam tape :)
 
I will be show casing each of these items on my blog throughout the month ...
AND
I even recorded a video tutorial for you all, MEASUREMENTS INCLUDED!

Stay tuned ...

HI THERE, I AM IMPRESSED WITH YOUR CREATIVE IDEA ABOUT THE BOOK IN THE BOX! AND THE SUITCASE IS AMAZING! JUST A THOUGHT, ARE YOU IN PROCESS OF HAVING AN ADDITIONAL PROJECT SIMILAR TO THESE? A FAIRY DOOR WOULD BE MARVELOUS! OR A STAINED GLASS WINDOW; MAYBE A GRANDFATHER CLOCK; A MUSIC BOX; OR A BABY GRAND PIANO. A TRAIN CABOOSE; A TREASURE CHEST; A BAKERY SHOPPE WINDOW; A BENTO BOX; A SQUARE BIRDHOUSE; A BAT SHACK; A PET STORE WINDOW; A RETRO BOOM BOX; A WISHING WELL; A SEWING BOX; A CURIO CABINET; A CASTLE; AN APOTHECARY CHEST OF DRAWERS; OR A BOOKCASE THAT OPENS TO REVEAL A SET OF STAIRS. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, A CHICKEN COUPE! (YES, THE SPELLING OF "COUPE" IS CORRECT). YOUR IDEAS MAKE ANY TYPE OF ART SUPPLY INTO KALEIDOSCOPIC FUNSHINE! KEEP BRINGIN' THE CALIENTE CRAFTS!!
