Good Luck Graduate Layout

To enter my Blogaversary Giveaway, please click here.

Here is another layout I created to scrapbook pictures of my son's 8th grade graduation.  I used the Happy Graduation Seasonal cartridge for the title and the Recess Lite cartridge for all of the other die cuts.

The background paper is from the DCWV High School stack and it seemed to be the perfect paper for this layout.

The title did not have a shadow on the cartridge so I created my own shadow by cutting the title out twice in different colored card stock and off setting the layers.

Once again I used my white gel pen to add lots of doodling and stitching to the layout.

The tassels were created with Blue Berry Trendy Twine and attached with a brad at the center of the graduation cap.  A little bit of glue helped to hold the tassel in place.  I also outlined the bow on top of the diploma with the twine and added a button to the center.  The diploma was embossed with the Sizzix Diamonds embossing folder.

I created a couple of hand cut flags to add sentiments to each of the pages.  The sentiments are from the Scrappy Moms "Mini Messages" stamp set.

For the graduate, I used my Gypsy to hide the facial features and instead used my Peachy Keen "Wide Eyed Kids" stamps.  I also added a little bit of chalk to the cheeks and a couple of brads to his graduation gown.

8th Grade Layout

I created this layout to scrapbook pictures of my son from this school year.  Since next year both of my kids will be in high school I wanted to create more of a child like layout with primary colors.  I was actually able to dig into my stash of scraps to create the majority of this layout.

For the school house, pencils, bus and slide I used the Recess Lite cartridge.  The tree came from My Community, the clouds from Pooh and Friends and the title from Plantin Schoolbook. 

The title was cut out twice and off set to create a layer.  I embossed the top layer with the Tiny Mosaic Cuttlebug embossing folder to give it some texture.  The clouds were embossed with the D'Vine Swirl Cuttlebug embossing folder and the little boys shirt was embossed with the Candy Stripes Cuttlebug embossing folder.

I inked and chalked most of the die cuts and added some faux stitching and doodling to them.

I used the Holiday Holly Berry Trendy Twine to tie the pencils together and also for the bow on the button.

On the hand cut flag, I added a sentiment from the Docerela Creations Mix & Match I Stamp Set.
