Whimsical Wednesday Challenge #22~~ "Scrapping School Memories"

Good Morning Everyone!

It is time for another Whimsical Wednesday Challenge!!

This weeks challenge is " Scrapping School Memories"~

Create a scrapbook LO with a school theme BUT it must include a chipboard element.

The Design Team was lucky enough to be given a few files from Regina over at The Cutting Cafe to work with. Thanks Regina!!

Regina is also our sponsor this week and the lucky winner will receive Any 3 Files from her store!

If you have yet to visit The Cutting Cafe you really need to hop over there. She has just about everything you could possibly want....cut files, PDF files, boxes, bags...well you get the idea!

Oh so my project for this challenge was made and then I added the pictures when my boys went to school yesterday for their first day.

It was great to have the LO completed and then know what pictures I had to take :)

Here is my completed LO....There are few items I create that I say "Wow, I really love this....this is one of them!! I love how this turned out!!

Here is the LO before I put pictures in and added the year with white chipboard numbers

I don't have very many chipboard pieces in my stash so I decided to make my own!

The bus numbers~which is actually my boys school bus is from numbers I picked up last year at Target.

They sure came in handy!!

The "Waiting for the Bus" is The Cutting Cafe~The School Years Printable Stamp Set

I printed and cut the stamp out then attached to a piece of inked chipboard and matted it on blue cardstock.

The same was done with "1st day of School"

You cant tell but it really gives great dimension!

Love the little boy~ He is from Paper Doll Dress Up and I used PKS~491 Everyday Character Faces

Again used the same technique and made my own chipboard pieces from the same set over at

The Cutting Cafe

The border is another set from The Cutting Cafe~School Day's Printable Set.

The extras added to this LO are:

Trendy Twine in Peppermint Twist

School Bus cut from Stretch Your Imagination at 3 1/2"

Yoyo Yellow ink from SU

White gel pen for extra doodles :)

Border punch from EK Sucess

Paper from DCWV~ The Grade School Stack

So I hope you like my LO and will join us this week over at Whimsical Wednesdays!!
