Back to School with Intricacies

I love new school supplies. New paper, pencils, and glue sticks. Unfortunately, I have no real "need" to buy these supplies. I've been out of school for more years than I care to remember. I don't have children in school. But who doesn't need new paper, pencils, and glue sticks?

For this post, I've highlighted some of my new supplies. I "borrowed" a couple of kids from a friend just so I could show off Midnight Oil's 1-2-3 Intricacy. I altered the intricacy to make it match my layout and to make some of the numbers really stand out. I painted them using ordinary craft store acrylic paint. I quickly brushed on white paint, then black paint. I used the end of my paintbrush to add bright yellow circles. Once the paint was dry, I added bling with golden yellow sequins.

I mounted the photos onto yellow cardstock and added some of my new school pencils.

Thanks for looking!
