Happy to go to Kindy! :)

Hello everyone!

I have managed to play along at My Creative Sketches this month - here I've used January's sketch, which really suited the 61/2" Class Act paper pad by Kaisercraft that I was dying to use!

 My layout is called "Happy to go to Kindy!"...


I made my own woodgrain patterned paper by using my fave washi tape - Woodgrain Washi, from D-Lish Scraps.

The other washi tape I used is by Studio Calico.  I've layered it up quite a bit there... ;)


And I've made a Cartoon Cutie!  A super cute felt apple... fitting into the school theme nicely. :)

I am really glad I got this school photo scrapped.  It's so cute and I love how it's a bit different to the "norm" for school photos, if you know what I mean. :)

Well that's all from me for today!  A quick post!  I'll be back very soon though with lots of reveals coming up as it's nearly the end of the month!

Cheers & TFL!

Chantal :)

  2. Chantal this is gorgeous and it made me think of all the 6X6 paper pads I have that should be getting used. I love the technique with washi tape too. Oh and the old book paper works a treat.
