Challenge Me Monday #77, Back to School!!! (PIC HEAVY)

It's time for another Challenge Me Monday over at FCCB! And since my LAST DT project was admittedly not one I made fresh for the challenge....I've been able to get back into my craft room (newly organized!!) and create this AWESOME number book that I think I will give to my nephew for Christmas!! The challenge this week is "Back to School" and we were asked to create a project with numbers or letters in it! I bought some Acrylic mini albums on clearance for a $1 apiece at ACMoore a while back, and haven't used them at all! I thought that this challenge would be PERFECT to put them to use!! The mini album is about 6"x6" for the covers, and 4"x4" on the inside pages, so I was a little nervous at how the characters would look at such a small size, since they are so detailed. I was extremely happy with the final result! Even though they are detailed, and some turned out better than others, I was impressed with the cutting action of my E, and YAY! they actually look like Sesame Street Characters!! :) For some things that were just too small to cut out (especially Zoe's jewelry...) I used some Liquid Pearls. Here you go!

Big Bird made the cover...he actually looks like he's counting his fingers!

Cookie Monster


Prairie Dawn

HOLY WOW Maquel!!!!!! That's amazing!!! A friend of mine has the Sesame Street cartridge and I've helped her put some of those together before...the pieces are TINY...especially cut at 2-3inches, like you did!!! I am SO impressed!!! Your colors are perfect too!! And it looks like you gave your Gelly Roll pen quite a workout!!

You DO owe me a letter! Hurry up...I want to hear all the stuff you've been eluding to! haha!!!
