Scrapping School Memories with Simple Stories School Rocks - CraftOnline Creative Team

I have a lot of school scrapbooking to catch up on so when I saw the new school range from Simple Stories called School Rocks I just had to grab it so I could get some of the layouts done.  Today I have a process video for you of my doing 3 layouts with this collection kit.

I start the video by showing you the supplies and photos I have and talking about how I might use the supplies and how even the supplies are helping prompt memories I need to record.
If you need to find a certain layout then here are the times in the video you can find each layout.  Layout 1 13:20 Layout 2 17:56 Layout 3  23:46

Items used in this project include.
Simple Stories School Rocks Collection Kit 
American Crafts White Cardstock 
American Crafts Straw Cardstock 
American Crafts Olive Cardstock
Uni-Ball black pen 
Helmar Acid Free Glue 

I am loving the journal/title cards from the cut aparts and the the cute stickers in this range.  They helped me smash out my layouts really quickly.

I cut the locker card into the 3 lockers so I would have plenty of lockers for my high school scrapping.
I used the zip strips from the papers to help build layers on all 3 layouts.

Using a sheet of Straw Cardstock really helping this layout pop.

I absolutely loved this border sticker from the moment I saw it on the website and just had to use it as a focal point on a layout.
It really helped this layout come together quickly by staring with the border sticker and just pressing down the straight edge so I could tuck things in as I built the layout.

This pencil sticker for my date in this cluster was the perfect shade to match Mr C's shirt so I selected it to kind of add to the feeling that this layout was about his first day of the school year.

I loved that the sticker sheet included a few science pieces and math pieces in addition to the regular school stuff.  It helped with the high school theme but also the distance ed theme as we do a lot of science in this house now.

I love how my layouts turned out and that the supplies have prompted me to think of several other memories I need to record.
Why don't you check out what school themed supplies CraftOnline has and get some school scrapping done?  It is a fun theme to scrap in my experience.

Back To School with Kitaholic Kits

I received my first Main Kit from Kitaholic Kits and I love it, as soon as I saw it I knew it was perfect for Back To School photos of my kids.  The blue goes well with their uniforms and the summery feel is perfect for this time of year.  I wanted to play straight away but school doesn't go back until the 24th.  Thankfully I had apparently missed scrapping the 2014 Back To School photo so I was able to play with this gorgeous kit earlier  than expected.

I love the grungy look of the Mistable letters though I am not sure if I like them for this layout or if I should save them for another.

Here is the finished layout without the mistable thickers, this is one of those times were I leave it and spend some time deciding if I want them on the layout or not.
