 Are you ready to head back to school? Let's go!

For my project I decided to create a back to school layout. This is back to school 2 years ago. LOL! I am slowly catching up! Ha!

I used border stencils from Kiwi Designs and one of their layouts as a guide. The paper is Basic Grey Oxford line.


 
My title was cut at 3" and the Back pack at 3.5" using the Recess Lite Cricut Cartridge. Love the images on this cute cartridge!


 Up next is the lovely An'Jenic!!
