Guest Designer Post~Just B Creative Crazy!!

Morning Bloggers!!
 I am so excited to be helping out one of my blogging blends~
while she is in the process of moving.

If  you have been following my last few weeks posts, I was asked to make a scrapbook for
the principle of my boy's school who is retiring in July.
Of course I jumped at the opportunity and wanted to share 2 more pages I have created

My oldest son is graduating from 5th grade and heading into the middle school next year.
He is in the band, plays the Base Clarinet as well as sings in the chorus.
Last week was their spring concert...everyone was amazing and then the Principle got up
and sang a song....solo in parts with the entire 4th and 5th grade chorus.
WOW!!
We knew he could hold a tune but was amazed that he did this in front of all the parents as well.
All of us PTO members were snapping away pictures like crazy and I was given these 2 to add to the book.
The caption under him reads
"A standing ovation was on my bucket list too"
and a standing ovation he got!!

I am making this entire scrapbook using kraft cardstock for the base and leaving lots of empty space because this will be laid out at his reception for everyone to sign and write well wishes on.

Supplies Used:
Card Stock~ Kraft and Black
Designer Paper~ Recollections (?)
Music notes
Cuts~ Cameo for
Music notes and file folder (Lori Whitlock)
Extra's~ Creative Inspirations Paint for Heart
in Garnet
Lettering from my stash

I hope you have enjoyed my LO
and thanks to Beckie for allowing me to share my project on her blog!!
