September Bulletin Board

Here's an 8 x 8 bulletin board decoration for the month of September -- made in a school theme.
Here's the list of supplies I used on this project...

For the schoolhouse:

• 201 Paper Piecing Patterns Book (Hot off the Press)
• DP - Classics (K & Company)
• Brown ink pad (inked all edges with it)
• Brown marker (windows, faux stitching around school sign)
• Red/Cream/Brown Cardstock
• Paper Crimper (Fiskars) for the roof

For the Tree: 

• DP - Classics (K & Company)
• Brown Cardstock
• Paper Crimper (Fiskars) - tree trunks
• Brown ink (inked over trunks)
• D'vine Swirls Embossing Folder (Provo Craft) - tree top
• Green ink (inked over embossing)

 For the sun:

• Cut two circles with Circle Nestabilities (the middle one is two sizes smaller than the larger one)
• Orange ink - inked edges
• Scissors  - cut notches around outer circle
• Dimensional - popped the center up just a bit

 For those cotton white clouds in the blue sky:

• Cloud templates from Birds Cards 
• Blue chalks (used the clouds as a mask and chalked blue chalk all over the sky)
• Snow Writer (traced around the outline the clouds)
• White flock (filled in the inside of the clouds with)

 Scripture in the green grass

• Computer generated scripture
• DP for grass - ATD Harvest (Momenta)
• Chalks (brushed green/brown lightly over grass)
• Green Ink (inked the edges of those rolling hills with)

I also used:

• 1 piece of notebook paper (the whole scene is made on this)
• Red Cardstock (mounted the notebook paper on)

If this looks like it took a little bit of time it's because it did!  It was fun though --- I enjoy paper piecing and enjoy the results even more -- it's always worth it in the end.

Happy September Everyone!
