Back from summer vacation, ready to get the kids back to school?

Tools & Supplies: Paper Cutter, Scissors, Beacon Adhesives 3 in 1 Glue, Marvy Punch (for mini banner)
Let us walk you around this layout and highlight some simple techniques you can add to your layouts.
1. Don’t be afraid to make it dimensional, Beacon’s 3 in 1 Glue is amazing, it will hold just about anything paper, fabric, metal, plastic, acrylic, burlap, wood, cardboard, flute and more. Just hold in place for a few seconds and your embellishment will stay where you put it, we just love that.
2. create a mini banner using scraps of paper you have, small accent pieces on your papers, etc. This allows you to add a range of prints to your page in a clever and small way with big results. We love the 7gypsies vintage clips, it just finishes this little banner off so well – oh yeah Beacon Glue will even hold that in place. 
3. Slip a mini bag behind photos and papers to make a little pocket to hold journaling notes if you are not a fan of journaling on your pages, extra photos or tickets from the event.
There are many more details on this page we hope you enjoyed, but the key here is we hope you are inspired to print your photos and make something fun.
