School's Out For The Summer! by Esther


This page showed children having fun in the summer sun. A fun thing is a pinwheel. Here is a cardstock one made for the summer theme. I used the Flair Summer Daze for the yellow swirls & adhered it to solid red Bazzill. Any contrasting combination or a two-sided cardstock will work. Some of the DT used two-sided cardstock from Best Creation. The cardstock is displayed at the Scrapbooks Plus.


The pinwheel is easy to make. Cut a square of the two-sided paper. Cut a hole in the middle with either the Big-bite or a Crop-A-Dile. Cut slits from each of the four corners to within one inch of the center. Punch a hole in each left-handed side of the slit shapes. Now overlap the holes moving around the shape so that they can be secured with the brad in the center that goes through the middle hole. I used a lollipop stick for the handle.



The page was laid out based on the three photos. It began with a solid blue cardstock. I cut the theme "School's Out For Summer!" & the sun shapes from the Flair paper & adhered them to chipboard to bring them forward. My sub theme is "The Sun." Glitter was added to the sun.


The journaling was done on the computer & printed on photo paper to easily read. This paper was a challenge for me because it is so busy. But the colors were good for the summer hot sun theme.


I hope you will enjoy the summer & the sun with family & friends.
