Today we wanted to show you how versatile the Makin' the Grade collection is by demonstrating how it is not just for the little guys and can easily be used for the "Big Kids" in your lives. Watch how each of our Biker Chicks Suzanne, Robbie and Heather make pages for their teens and tweens.
The journaling tickets are perfect for adding important information. You can definitely handwrite it, but if you are like me, and do not care for your handwriting, run them through your printer. With a few changes in your document, you can align the words exactly where you want them!

I am LOVING this collection for my teenager layouts! The papers and embellishments fit perfectly with these pictures. When I saw all the lockers included in the collection, I had to go on the man hunt for this picture of my daughter and one of her friends in front of 'their' locker.

My daughter absolutely loves school! The back 2 school excitement seems to build up for her all summer and we look for that letter they send through the mail right before school starts, which tells us her teacher assignments! It's really fun for her. What we really enjoy though is going to Meet the Teacher, which is usually the Friday before school starts. She gets to check out her classroom and meet her teachers! This layout tells that story for her from this year's festivities.
I really love all the variations of banners and pennants in the Makin' the Grade collection - from the canvas to the cork shapes, fabric favorites and so much more, I had to use them all!
To make the title, I used the Fresh Verse stickers but I had already used some of the stickers so I used the "M" and the "T" stickers and then I cut the rest of the letters out of the Alpha Block paper from the 6x6 paper pad. It worked great and gave me a fun variety of letters that still coordinate. To make the cork elements pop just a bit more, I outlined them with black pen.
This is such a great back to school line!
