Crazy Hat Day

It must be Monday again because it's my turn to post here on the blog!! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I sure did! I spent it with my long time friends for a much needed girls' getaway weekend. We ditched the hubbies, the kiddos and the diets, hit the spa and hung out. We always have so much FUN together!

Speaking of fun...

My son's school sure knows how to keep school fun! For instance, every March, they have several theme days for the students (i.e. Crazy Hat Day, Crazy Sock Day, and Dress Like Your Favorite Book Character Day). Donovan gets so excited about these days! Last year, he wore the really tall St. Patrick's Day hat seen here for Crazy Hat Day and this year he donned a cowboy hat.

I wanted to keep this layout simple so that the focus stayed on the photos. The shamrock border on the hat inspired me to use Cheery Lynn Designs dies to create my own borders.

I used the smallest French Flair die to create a border that highlighted my journaling strip. After cutting the die 3 times, I cut each in half and then embossed using the Dots/Lines embossing folder to add texture.

I used the smallest 2 dies in the XL Circle Nesting Stackers to create a border for part of my title and then finished it off using the School Days font.

Below are the supplies used to create this layout. Click on each to find it in the store.





Thanks for stopping by the blog today. Have a great week!
