School is Cool Scrapbook Layout l Kirei Baldwin

Hi everyone! My assignment was to use the fun School is Cool collection so decided to use it in a non-school type of way! I have been wanting to use the cute Bella-pops Wise Owl sticker for ages and as there are lots of other owls in the collection I decided to document about my growing owl collection! 

I cut a 10½" piece of the Wise One patterned paper and distressed the edges and stuck to the centre of a piece of white cardstock. Then I cut an 11" piece of the Paperclips paper, sprayed the edges lightly with water (not too wet!) and rolled and tore the edges to get a really distressed look. Once dry I stuck over the other patterned paper square. 

I mounted three photos using the School Supplies patterned paper (orange dots) and distressed the edges and then stuck down in a vertical design using foam pads. 

Then the fun bit which is adding all the embellishments! I picked out various sized owls and other appropriate elements in mainly orange, yellow and blue tones from the Ephemera Icons, Puffy Stickers and Epoxy Stickers to create three clusters around my photos. And of course I finally got to use that super cute owl! 

I added a title in black using the Letter Scramble alphabet stickers and finished off with my journaling.  

Last thing was a few paint splatters in white and some wonky black cross-stitches around each edge. 

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you like my latest layout and feel inspired to use the School is Cool collection in a slightly different way!

School Is Cool | Erica Thompson

Hey friends! Erica here with you today sharing a layout using the School Is Cool collection!

I loved the crayons in this cut file and I knew the 12x12 Coloring Pattern Paper would be perfect to back them! I backed each crayon with a different color strip from the 12x12 paper. 

I backed the rest of the cut file with pattern papers from the School Is Cool collection and then backed the two letter O's in the word COOL with my photos. 

Once the cut file was backed I added foam adhesive all over the back of the backed cut file and then trimmed down a piece of white cardstock to 11.50x11.50. I matted the white cardstock to the 12x12 Supply List Pattern Paper. Next I adhered the cut file to the center of the page and started to embellish around the layout. 

I added some ephemera icons around the page and used one of the ephemera titles under one of the photos! I love how this layout turned out! Super simple but so colorful! 

Thanks so much for stopping by the Bella Blvd. Blog today!

First and Last Days of School 12x12 Layout | School is Cool

Hi friends! Erika here. Creating a 12x12 scrapbook page with the Bella Blvd School Is Cool collection was so much fun! I got inspired by these two chipboard circles that said “First Day of School” and “Last Day of School.” I happened to have pictures that matched both prompts perfectly, so I knew I had to use them.

I wanted to keep the design simple and stick to classic school colors—black, red, and yellow. Since my photos were in black and white, they fit right in without clashing with the cardstock.

I went with a single-tier design in the middle of the page to highlight the mini pencils I cut out. I added foam adhesive to give them some dimension, making the page pop.

The chipboard letter stickers were perfect for my title, which I surrounded with plain clear sequins and a bit of mini rope for a unique touch.

To finish the page, I added mini question marks, handwritten journaling and time-stamped the photos. This added a personal touch and captured the timeline of my child's school year. The final result was a colorful, dynamic page full of school spirit.

I had a blast putting this together and love how it turned out. I hope this inspires you to get crafty and document those special school moments. Remember, sometimes keeping it simple and focused can really make your scrapbook pages shine. Happy crafting!
