Little Schoolgirl (a layout)

Over at Two Peas, Garden Girl layouts are now going to be released on Mondays (rather than throughout the week). This is a little more like the bi-monthly releases of years past, but with less chance of "idea overload." I prefer this, since I am trying to prioritize my internet time (say what?), and now I know exactly when to take a peek at the Garden.

Here's a layout of mine that went up today (with links to supplies and more information here) for the August "school" theme:

 

Two Peas in a Bucket

Supplies:

• Bazzill Basics Kraft cardstock
  
• American Crafts cardstock
  
• Bo Bunny Double Dot patterned paper
  
• October Afternoon Story Hour patterned paper
  
• October Afternoon Science Fair patterned paper
  
• October Afternoon Report Card die-cut
  
• Maya Road square kraft envelope
  
• We R Memory Keepers metal grommet
  
• Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety button
  
• American Crafts silver mini-brad
  
• EK Success Notebook punch
  
• Ranger Industries paint dabber
  
• Ranger Glossy Effects
  
• AL Serenade font

Things to note:

• I used the October Afternoon Report Card 8" x 8" stack, but it no longer appears to be stocked at Two Peas, so I've linked the full-size 12" x 12" patterned papers for your reference.
• The stars are homemade. Chipboard painted yellow and covered with glossy effects for a shiny finish. You can see a closer look here.
• The title was created in Photoshop. I used the pencil tool to draw blue lines and a dotted red line. 
• I printed my journaling on a die-cut, but I messed up the spacing and left an open space at the bottom, so I drew a little line with a real pencil. 
• Two Peas doesn't have the EK Success notebook punch, so I've linked you to the binding edge punch. I bought my punch at Michaels for nearly double the price. Oh Canada!
• Those Maya Road kraft envelopes look grey on-line, but in real life, they are a nice warm kraft.
• On a personal note, this is my little schoolgirl in the "getting-ready" stages of the first chapter of her school career. I have glowing memories of school, so I sure hope she feels the same. :)
