I was asked by my gal, Cambria, if I'd like to help with another stamp release by Our Craft Lounge. I couldn't say no. I love their stamps!
I found a complete School scrapbook kit on the clearance rack at Joanns a few years ago for $3.99! It has everything in it including the scrapbook! I grabbed all 4 of them but had yet to start scraping any school pictures. Our Craft Lounge changed all that when they came out with this set, Back to School.
So here are two pages for Benjamin's school scrapbook using Back to School. I used the pattern paper and the little journaling image from the kit for these pages. I only colored in a little of the images as I liked the look of the all white against the black.
stamp set: back to school - our craft lounge; paper: red, blue, green, pattern paper; ink: black; accs: spellbinders, notched punch, Helmar quick runner, Helmar liquid scrap dots, red marker
stamp set: back to school- our craft lounge; paper: red, green, blue, pattern paper from kit; ink: black; accs: ribbon, notched punch, mustard marker, staples, Helmar Quick Runner
I did the color challenge, sketch challenge and ways to use it challenge all in one! I used Back to School to make a card for that first place. I made stripes on the white with SU's retired plaid maker. It made me think of a referee's shirt. Just a little bit of color to the image as the black really helps pop the entire card. I stamped the basketball in black on red cardstock and cut them out to place on the card.
stamp: back to school - our craft lounge; paper; old olive, real red, black, white; ink: black; accs: real red marker, old olive marker, spellbinders, cuttlebug, su plaid maker

Your samples are great, and so are these stamps! My DD is 3, so I could use this set for her from day one at "real" school. (We call daycare school, too). I started papercrafting as a scrapbooker, so think of all the yummy pages I could make for her with these!

Super cute pages. I would use the set on the photo box of pics of my son to scrap with! I have done the first 16 years of my dd's life and my son's Army basic training and jump school. So, I am really behind!
