Back to School Artwork using Words/Letters Scrapbook Layout

Created this Back to School Artwork using Words/Letters Scrapbook Layout.

Wanted to use one of my 6" x 6" albums
to scrapbook some of my daughter's artwork.
I bought several of the albums clearanced priced
for 30 cents each at Hobby Lobby.


Used a piece of artwork my daughter sketched as her final exam in her junior yr of high school of a classmate from
a photograph in which requirement was to use words/letters. She used song lyrics.

Look very carefully there are words from top to bottom on:
the hat, eye, eyebrow, ear, hair, nose & the tongue.




















Closeup:














original artwork is 12" x 18"






















Chipboard letter 'N' used from a Martha Stewart set
I got for $1 at Big Lots some time ago.


















Entering this into the following challenges:


1. Blog Quick Quotes
Quick Quotes Fabulous Friday School Challenge


2. Cooking With Cricut

CWC #50 School Days


3. Fantabulous Cricut

Back to School

Use ABCs (letters) or 123s (numbers) on your project

As always, there needs to be an image cut using your Cricut on your project.
