Graduation - A 52 Sketches LO

I made this lo tonight following the 52 Sketches #37 challenge for this week. I used pp by Jillibean Soup called Alphabet Soup and Jenni Bowlin label style paper. The circle accents are journaling sprouts by Jillibean. I used the numbers and months as inspiration for some of my journaling, which I wrote with a SU! marker. I cut the report card out of the Jillibean Soup paper and then layered a Jenni Bowlin Bingo card over it. The twill was inked with real red ink and then tied around the Bingo card embellishment. The ribbon loops above the photo spell out "MSU," my school.

Here is a close-up of my journaling:

Thanks for looking!

The Uniform Year & Some Jillibean Soup

There I am on my first day of school! I'm calling this our uniform year because all of our students are now required to wear uniforms and it's optional for teachers. To show school unity, most teachers wore the required uniform on the first day, though.

I made this lo for a challenge on the Jillibean Soup blog, which was to make a page with their sketch. I used papers from Jillibean Soup lines "Alphabet Soup," "Cream of Mushroom," and "Soup Staples". I also used the Jillibean Soup stamp set called "Home Tweet Home." From this set, I used the tree and bird to stamp on the journaling sprout. I also cut the schoolhouse out from the patterned paper and pop dotted it next to the stamped tree. For my title, I used felt Thickers and a journaling sprout with the number 2 in place of the word to.

Thanks for stopping by tonight!
