Year 1 using Echo Park Paper School Rules by Kerryn Fry

Good morning AAS friends. This week I've gone back to the fabulous school collection, Echo Park Paper School Rules to create a page. The photos are from 2010,  Mr H at the end of the school year. Sporting his toothless grin and spikey hair.

Iv'e started with my favourite Kraft cardstock base. The background has been decorated with Black Soot Distress Ink and the Brick Tim Holtz Layering Stencil. The base patterned paper is from Carta Bella School Days. I've torn the paper diagonally with the white edge exposed. Both photos have been added to black cardstock for an extra layer.

The stars and apples have been hand cut from the School Day paper. They've been added to the page with foam tape. Such an easy way to embellish a page.

I've also hand cut the owl and the books

to build clusters on the page.

The quote is from the Ephemera Pack

and popped up on foam tape.

The number 6 has been cut from the Numbers paper

and the school house cut form the School Days paper.

The alpha stickers have been added to black cardstock

to define the letters and added with foam tape.

The 2 Crafty title is from the Mini School Titles 

Year 1 has been covered with Distress Paint

and once dried I've added a second layer 

with Kaisercraft Tiny Dots stamp and white ink.

Thank you for visiting the blog today.

Hope you have enjoyed the steps.

Please join us again on Monday.
