'Tis the season for all the CUTE Back to School Photos.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't leave these photos on your phone and social media to live for all eternity (or let's be honest, until your phone or social media platform crashes). PRINT THEM and use the suggested kits below to document your kids/grandkids' journey this school year.
We have the Smarty Pants Collection....complete with scrapbooking workshop instructions for you to create your own. This Kit is for those who are familiar with scrapbooking and know how to read cutting guides. I also have class options, if you're local, and am looking into virtual options if you're not.
This kit, when used with the instruction guide, will make the following layouts...
The September 2020 Cut Above Kit is PERFECT for the busy parent/grandparent who wants to document but doesn't have the time. It's also ideal for those who are just starting out in their memory-keeping journey!
Here's a look at the two two-page layouts you'll make using this kit....everything is precut and includes stickers and diecuts. All you need is your favorite adhesive...

School bells across America are ringing, marking the end of another school year and the beginning of one of the most eagerly anticipated times in a child’s life…summer break! You’ve likely been putting those smart phones to good use and taking lots of pictures of your kiddos, watching in awe as they grew and developed this past academic year.
From first day of kindergarten photos to senior portraits, all of these pictures and memories need a place to live and thrive, as you revisit them from time-to-time, whether to reminisce on “how little they were” or to show off their accomplishments to other family members and friends (it’s okay, momma! You deserve a good pat on the back for these achievements, too! ).
Or, perhaps, depending on where you live in the world, your school year hasn’t quite wrapped up yet and you’re looking for just the right card to express your gratitude to those amazing people who continue to teach and watch over your children for hours every day, as if they were their own.
Whatever your crafting needs are, we’re making it easy to look like a “Smarty Pants” (in the best way…) when it comes to preserving stories and sharing moments.
And just last week we launched TWObrand-new workshops using this collection! The Smarty Pants scrapbooking workshop is designed to make three two-page 12″ x 12″ layouts and one single-page 12″ x 12″ layout, while the Smarty Pants cardmaking workshop makes 16 standard size cards (four each of four designs).
The kits that we’ve assembled for these workshops are made up of products from the Smarty Pants line as well as a few additional items, including exclusive embellishments. (Smarty Pants scrapbooking workshop kit/Smarty Pants cardmaking workshop kit.) Additionally, these workshop kits are available at 20% off their retail value if you purchase the options with the stamp and Thin Cuts! (Because some of you may already own the stamp sets or dies used in these workshops, we also have kits available that don’t include these items. )
Just like all of our other cardmaking workshops, the Smarty Pants workshop also features an artwork technique to help you flex those creative muscles! In this cardmaking workshop we sponge ink on backgrounds to help create focal points with color and also “ground” pieces that are layered on top (so they won’t look like they’re just “floating” there).
You might also notice that we used a journaling pen to create different borders and edges along some of the pieces of each of the cards, adding to the school days theme.
There are so many great techniques used throughout the artwork in both the Smarty Pants scrapbooking and cardmaking workshops! Take a look and let us know what you think! If you have any questions or want to know more, leave us a comment below!
Whether you’re counting down the last days of the school year (or counting down the days until the next one starts), let those teachers know just how much you appreciate them and take some time to document those school days stories to make the memories last!
I'm so HAPPY to be joining the talented group of CTMH Consultants for this month's Blog Hops with Heart theme of...
STICK IT IN A POCKET!!!
If you've come from Jayma's Blog, you're on the right track...keep hopping around 'till you get back to where you started! If you started from the beginning, this is your last stop!
I hope my project qualifies as a "pocket"...it's a graduation card envelope with a little bit of spending cash for the graduate! Before you go thinking I'm a cheap gift-giver, I don't carry cash so this is all I had on me...lol
------------------------------------------
I didn't adhere any of the sides so it will open all the way up and reveal the cash! I used CTMH's Magical Collection and the NEW Smarty Pants stamp set! The band slides right off and the card opens up...I used some Shimmer Trim to create a little holder...I peeled off the ends of the backing but left the center part so it doesn't stick to the cash! The "Congratulations" sentiment is adhered only by staples...
Thanks for stopping by! If you missed out on any of the other blogs, head on over to Amie's Blog and keep going 'till you see all seven blogs!
Inspiration for this card came from my PIN found {{{here}}}.
