School Scrap Book

At the beginning of the year my son's teachers asked if there could be a scrapbook made for the class.  I put my name on the little line and didn't think of it again until after my hand healed from being broken.  I was quite excited for it, I had an idea and I went with it.  I figured this book will stay in the class until the lat day of school and then on the last day, each kid can take home their own page.

I used the Cricut and many of it's cartridges, as well as the Creative Memories Boarder Maker System.  I will do my best to say what I used where.  Here they are.  This is a big post, you can always come back for school ideas of your own.

There are a couple that I don't remember which ones I used.  What I ended up doing to mass produce this album was break it down.

Night 1. Pick out paper

Night 2.  Cut out the names using the Cricut.  (Plantain School Book.)

Night 3. Cut out borders.

Night 4 and day 5.  Spent the weekend at a friends and did all but 3.

Night 6 Finished up.

(I did these all while the kids were sleeping and on some scrap nights that I managed to get away for.)

I did have to make the pictures 3 1/2 x 5 so I could get 3 to a page.  Fortunately my hubby is awesome and used his nifty Mac to format to size, and printed them out for me and then I cut them to for the borders I had made.  

Lot's of work, but totally worth it. These kids are going to feel very special I think. Enjoy, I hope you get some useful ideas.
