Class Act Cards

So today I have some cards to show you that I made up with the Class Act Collection.

At first I was stumped as to what I could actually do with this collection in regards to cards ... surely no one wants a 'Happy Birthday' card with school stuff all over it!!!?

(None of my kids would thats for certain!! LOL)

Then I realised there are lots of different occasions that a school themed card would appropriate for ... the top of the list would have to be a 'Get Well Soon' card for a sick or absent teacher ... 

my little ones LOVED this idea

 ( the older ones laughed and said the only kind of card they would ever give to their teachers would be a 'Please DONT get well soon! card .... you gotta love teenagers!!)

There are also occasions like encouraging kids on their first day at a new school ( be it the first day of kindy, high school, uni or TAFE) or congratulating them on academic or sporting achievements.

So in the end I had plenty of inspiration for this set of 5 simple cards... 

all made with just the paper pad and a few collectables.

Thanks for stoping by for look...

And congratulations to all the mums out there like myself for surviving the holidays... the kids head back to school tomorrow and I couldn't be happier for them  nor myself!! he he he.

Cheers from Kel

Class Act Layout

Well it's almost that time ... BACK TO SCHOOL!! So this week we are kicking off the celebration with the Class Act Collection.

So with 6 lovely little children of my own as you might imagine, I have plenty of school photos at my finger tips to scrap so I'm lovin this new collection purely and simply for its practical applications.

And Kaisercraft have a matching album to go with this range as well ...oh Bliss!

All the elements are bright and bold and easy to use as far as popping a layout together goes. This collection gets 10 gold stars for being a truly easy to use set of papers and elements.

As you can see from this page, the main job that will occupy you with this collection is simply construction ... I didn't use any tricky techniques or excessive add ons to finish this layout... it was quick and simple to pull together and all the more satisfying for it I must confess! LOL

Thanks for stopping by for a look.
