Hands-On Learning Layout

My hubby used to teach Sunday school and asked me to help him out when he was doing a Passover meal for the class, so I got a few photos of the kids enjoying (or not) the foods. I decided to use the title "Hands on Learning" because it's the start of the school year and because it really was an interactive way to learn about this piece of history that is still relevant today. All the embellishments on the layout were die-cut on my Cricut using Design Space, and it was a lot of work, especially the seder plate items. Some were very detailed and didn't cut well at the small scale I needed, so I had to use the contour tool to remove all those details, which took more time than I should have spent - LOL! I popped up the sheep and the plate using dimensional tape, and the tag behind the plate pulls out to reveal my journaling, also done on my Cricut using a Cricut pen.

Recipe:
I Want Candy paper
Sapphire, Carolina, Fern, Canary, Shortbread, Chocolate & White Daisy cardstock
Sapphire, Carolina & Chocolate ink
Navy pen (Cricut)
White Daisy grosgrain ribbon
3-D foam tape

Cricut Design Space: title (using Thick font), all Passover themed die-cuts, journaling (using BFC Autumn Woodland font)
