Back to School Layout and Card with Authentique and Xyron

Hi Authentique Fans!!! Pam here today and guess what time of year it is!!! It is time for SCHOOL! We  love to take those first day of school photos whether our kids are able to go to their local school or like us having virtual school! I am sharing how to create a that first day of school layout!  

Did you know there are some fabulous sites that you can get layouts and card sketches to work with? Creative Scrapbooker Magazine has a "free" sketch layout each month but there are other sites like A Cherry on Top or Page Maps that has both card and layout sketches to name a couple more. Some also have challenges using sketches! 

When you work with layouts you can go literal with the sketch or use it as a jumping off point like I did with my layout! I added a collection of journal cards and paper to create the patter of thirds from the layout. 

 Added a place for a photo where the Title is shown. 

Add small cards and border strip where the flowers are shown to be. 

Add a the school banner from the Scholastic to top of layout using pop dots and natural twine bows. 

If you aren't a Scrapbooker that is okay; you can use the same sketch idea to create a card or maybe some altered work. Really a sketch is the jumping off place for your creative style. Enjoy, Pam

Supplies:

Authentique Scholastic Collection

May Arts Natural Twine

Xyron Mega Tape Runner with Permanent Adhesive

Pop Dots

Flowers

One Sheet Box Design with Authentique

Hi Authentique fans! Are ready to learn how to create a fun organizational boxes using one sheet of paper! 

How you decorate it though is all up to you! 

Authentique Scholastic Collection is perfect for those back to school gifts for teachers but if you are one of the many that are schooling at home it would be a good way to organize your students supplies! 

One Sheet Box Design Directions

Photo 1: Score on 4" and 8" marks on scoreboard.
Photo 2: Flip paper; score again on the 4" and 8" marks on scoreboard.
Photo 3: Score paper diagonally at each corner.
Photo 4: Fold vertical and horizontal score lines. Pinch corners on scored line. Make sure that you rub the edges good to get a crisp fold.

Photo 5: Punch holes at the diagonal fold edge.
Photo 6: Run ribbon or twine to pull edges together; tie in bow.

You can leave it just as simple as tying it together at the top...or...

You can decorate some of the squares with the Epherema Cards that come in the Scholastic Collection and some scallop border strips. 

(Add an extra square to the bottom to give additional support to the box.) 

Add a cute banner to the top by adding it to a short skewer.

 Fill with hour favorite supplies.
