Sing!

This week, our theme at Sweet Sassy Diva's is One Word Title.  Lori here from Srappin'MyStressAway with a layout of my son's kindergarten music program.  They sang and danced to several songs.  It was so cute!!!

I started out by printing this musical note paper from Vintage Papers on my Cricut Imagine.

I had at least one head (from the parents in front of me) in every picture I took, so I trimmed the best one up a bit and cut four others to 2 x 2.5 inches.  

I grabbed my Gypsy and Quarter Note and got to work.

I spelled out "SING" with the notes sized to 1.25 inches.  The piano is sized at 2.18 inches.  I moved the layers around so I could cut out each layer in a different color.

I had a little trouble with the blue paper.  It was a bit thinner than the black and red cardstock.  I re-cut it with thicker cardstock and had better luck.

I wanted to add something behind the notes, so I cut out these banner shapes from Beyond Birthdays sized to 2.25 inches.  I used the same blue cardstock.

I needed somewhere to journal, so I put a 3" music note on my mat.  I also wanted to add a few more musical symbols in black.  The treble clef and microphone are both sized to 1.88 inches, and the music notes are sized to 1.94 inches. 

Tanner is in the top row, second from the right.

I pop-dotted the piano and journaling "note" to the page.

I added some tissue tape from Michaels behind my musical note letters and pop-dotted them down.  A little twine connected my banner flags together.

I added some twine to my photo booth row of photos.  I also tucked the microphone behind the photos, but layered the music notes on top.

I made some flags out of tissue tape.  The strip of photos is pop-dotted to the paper, so the tape is just tucked behind.

This was our music teacher's very last program as she retired at the end of the school year.  We are excited for her to begin her retirement and excited for our new music teacher as well!!

Thanks Bobbi Jo for having me over today!!

Masculine Birthday Card!

Hi there, Misty again over at The Daily Scrapper

I really like the sketch we worked with this week.

Here is a card I made for my son's birthday. I used DVWC papers and a Stampin Up stamp set. Quarter note really came in handy.

I also made you all a video. Have fun!!!

Composition That!

Hi there this is Misty from The Dailyscrapper.

For my project I decided to make a gift for my son's new teacher this year. I love altering notebooks and seeing as it is back to school time, I can find the compositionbooks everywhere at a great price.

The paper line is Basic Grey, Oxford Collection. Her name is cut using one of the extra fonts from Quarter Note. I used tons of matching rub ons from the same Basic Grey collection.

These are super easy to make and people just love them.

I picked these up at Office Max this week at $.50 each. YEAH!!!

rub ons and a matted frame ready to play with.

I added a cover over the spine for extra decoration.

I layout the pieces to see if I like them.

Finished project all ready to take on the first day back to school. Amazing that my oldest goes back Monday and the middle kiddo goes back in a little over a week. Crazy!!!
