As I write this blog post it's hard to believe that is August already, where has the summer gone? I don't know about you, but for us it's been a busy summer between T-ball, Swimming and a New Baby, there hasn't been much time for paper crafting.  With that said, I really wanted to start to dive into the new products from CTMH and I had a box of items that I had ordered, but had not had time to go through. So while everyone was asleep I started going through the box and planning what I wanted to work on...below is the result

Since it is August, that time of year when kids are getting ready to go back to school. I thought  would make a simple 12x12 layout using the new CTMH Chalkboard paper packet and the CTMH Artbooking cricut cartridge. All the pieces that were cut from this project came just from that paper packet. I used the CTMH Sanding Kit to distress the edges of the paper and the edges of "First Day" as well. I used slate ink to ink the white paper piece behind the "First Day" title. 









I hope you enjoyed seeing the layout and check back next week when I will feature another project using the Chalkboard Paper Packet.

Happy Paper Crafting!
