Back to School Layout by Valerie Bisson


Saturday, September 13, 2025

Hello friends! Valerie Bisson here today and I’m super happy to be back to share a fun Back to School layout with you. It features Paige’s Happy Haven collection and her Back to School cut file.
I started my layout with a fun idea creating an old school chalkboard for my background using black and kraft cardstock and adding staples to each corner. Next, I cut the Back to School cut file at 10” across from white cardstock and used a bunch of my scraps from the 12x12 Project Pad and Happy Haven papers to back the cut file. I think this cut file could work documenting any grade level. Then I placed the cut file near the bottom for a perfect fit inside the frame. I selected several pieces from the Journaling Die Cuts and created a banner to go across the top of the page for a fun whimsical look showcasing my photos. To keep the pieces all in place, I machine stitched them to the background and added foam squares underneath some of the edges for greater interest. I scattered small embellishments throughout my layout from the Foam Stickers, Mini Puffy Stickers, and stickers from the 12x12 Project Pad. I topped off my page with a sprinkling of white acrylic paint and a few enamel dots. Have a wonderful crafty day!
