My Whimsical Little World Back to School Release

Hello everyone! We have a wonderful new release for you at My Whimsical Little World .Well it's that time of year again...the kids are getting ready to go back to school. It's a bittersweet time in our house, I will miss them but at the same time they are driving each other crazy! My son Sebastian will be going into grade One, I seriously don't know where the time went! So that brings me to the first of my projects for the Back to school release. I decided to do a layout of my sons first day of kindergarten. So for this I used ColeBack To School Alarm Clock, and Mug Of School Supplies
There is a lot going on here (which is why I don't scrapbook very often, I have what I call a "piling" problem)  I loved the Idea of using the adorable alarm clock for the title of my scrapbook page it is such a whimsical accent, and the mug of school supplies is a perfect little school themed embellishment. The pencil cole is holding is pointing to the picture of my son, It's just paper crafting perfection! So I Copic coloured and fussy cut all three Digi stamps, and then popped them up on the layout. So next up is Frances 

Isn't she fabulous?! I decided to create a notebook with Francis for my Pastors daughter. She is so sweet and selfless and she deserves something cute to put her jumbled up High School thoughts into! So I copic colored the lovely Frances(she comes together with this super cute lockers) don't judge me on the brightly colored lockers I was homeschooled I have no idea what they look like..so I just imagined what I would have liked them to look like! I kept the notebook pretty simple because I want her to be able to actually use it. So last but not least is Olivia
I created this for a friend of mines daughter's birthday, I love how unique Olivia is....and she seems totally comfortable in her own skin! I Copic coloured and fussy cut Olivia as well, it took some stepping out of my "piling" comfort zone, but I managed to keep it fairly clean and simple. There is also another new Digi that I didn't get a chance to create with...but my DT sisters did so you will have to hop over to there blogs to see it, I will link them below! There are also some awesome free cut files for this release on the My Whimsical a Little World page! You can find them Here. Thank you so much for checking out my creations!

Hello Everyone! So there is some pretty fantastic news floating around, Tiddly Inks is having a Design Team call! I was so excited when I saw this because I have always been a huge fan of Christy's images. I love the way Christy draws the characters, my favourite is most definitely Wryn, she is an absolute pleasure to colour! So one of the requirements was to pick your most favourite Tiddly Inks image and do a card/project with it. So my plan was to use Eggcellent News Wryn, because she is my all time favourite Tiddly Inks Image......but then I saw the new release and I just hade to make a card with Fairy In Love, I just could not resist! So here it is



This image is truly stunning!(but I do have a slight obsession with fairies so...) it just speaks oh Love and Magic my Two favorite things. I copic colored the lovers and put some Wink of Stella on their 
Wings and her Dress. I added some flowers from Magnolia and I am Roses, I made it quite glitzy 
because it is going to be for a wedding. So I hope you enjoyed this, I really enjoyed making it! Make sure to head on over to The Tiddly Inks Blog and check out everyone's lovely entries!
