Back to School Project

Today Nikki Sivils and Ribbon Carousel are doing a blog hop.
The Ribbon Carousel will be giving away a $25 gift certificate to the Ribbon Carousel Store and Nikki Sivils Scrapbooker will be giving away a scrapbooking kit (winner's choice!)

I used Nikki's School is Cool line, along with some trims from the Ribbon Carousel (ABC twill and red/white striped ribbon), to alter this magnetic white board.

The ABC twill was a great way to enhance the school theme. I added it along the top of the strips of patterned paper.

You know me and my banners :) For this one, I used the cut-ups from School is Cool, punched holes in the corners of the pennants, and threaded the red/white striped ribbon through. I knotted the ends to finish it off.

The punch-outs made perfect magnets! I just looped the ribbon and adhered it to the back of each punch-out. Then I added a thin magnet to the back of each as well.

This was a fun project to put together--Miranda is really excited to use it this year (though not as excited about having to memorize the periodic table. Haha!)
