School Days Scrapbook Layout

I really enjoyed doing this double scrapbook page.  I am teaching classes, starting in September, and I'm very excited.  The base and ideas for these two pages, came from one piece of specialty paper from Joann Fabrics and Crafts.  I cut off the pencils for a border and used the composition theme for both pages.  I did a lot of layering on the first layout and I love how everything just flowed.  The bus was from the Autumn Celebrations Cricut cartridge.  The size is 5 inches.  For the school lettering I used the Speaking of School cartridge, and the DAYS was from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.  I got the vintage looking school paper at Michaels.



I stamped the small bus on the first page and colored it with markers.  I love using primary colors for a school layout.  Kids love bright colors and I thought this would be a fun scrapbook layout for them to place their school pictures.  Here are a few closes up pictures.  The chrome on the bus is colored with a silver paint pen I had.  I love to add those special little details.  The lights of the bus are buttons.
Hope you all enjoy this layout and just comment if you have any questions or thoughts.
