Pocket Pages 2018: Back to School (with Elle's Studio)

To continue with the Back to School thing I have going on lately, I am sharing another project created with the August Elle's Studio kit and add-ons. I took advantage of the Back to School elements in this release to catch up on Week 35 and 36 of last year (when I was using a 6x12 album):

I had fun combining all the circle die-cuts from the kit in order to create my date card. I used my mini dated stamp set and different colored puffy alphabets (all from Elle's Studio) for an eye-catching result:

My other favorite card is the one below featuring a Back to School wood veneer (from the TGIF pack) and a couple of puffy stickers from the Back to School sticker pack. I love the mix of textures and the somewhat negative space in this busy looking spread.

Other than the puffy stickers and using yellow to unify everything (which was hard with those photos), I also used a few phrase stickers for repetition. They're neutral and add some contrast.

Now we are a week away from Back to School 2019 and I have very mixed emotions about it. I can't wait to resume our routine but this is the very last back to school for my baby boy! He is a Senior this year! 😭 Help me!
