As some of you know.. I help create the scrapbook for DD's 4-H club with the assistance of the kids... I created the opening day of our county fair page as a replica of our banner last year.
Here is what I have so far... I will be adding grass in front of the barn after I get zooballoo on June 15th (can you tell I will be stalking stores until I find it that day!)... I will also be adding a haystack in the top barn window...
I will be hanging a sign on top of the barn door that has the theme to last year's fair "Wide Open Spaces".. than on either side of the barn in the sky will have 2 clouds.. one with the county fair name.. the other with the dates..
Tell me does it look okay or is it awful and I need to scrap the idea???
I'll definitely post the after picture when the whole page is complete too...

Oh, no, it is super cute! Don't scrap it (no pun intended... :)) It looks adorable. How did you cut out the barn?

Isn't it amazing the stuff we create with paper? :)
 
I winged the barn all on my own... I used AWM's Al's toy barn to help with the top... and the rest of it I just did on my own.. that is another reason I took a picture of it so I could replicate it again!!!!

I was smiling ear to ear.. the kids and DH were laughing at me.. but I was so happy with it!
 

And well you should be! It looks really neat. I love the bright colors. They pop right off the page.
Love the cow. ;)
 
Thanks everyone who has responded so far!!! :)
I'm so excited... I've done most of my chores this morning because my babysitting kids aren't here yet (due here anytime)...so I can crank some more out while they are watching a movie before we have to go pick up the kdg. kids!
 
I think that looks wonderful...very cute and kid friendly:thumbsup2
 
No problem lift away!
I need to go back downstairs and write all my measurements down..

I know the bottom of the barn was 8.5 wide & height was ?
I know the doors were cut from the bottom of the barn up 5 ".. and than I scored the doors 2.5 eaches from the center where I opened the barn doors..and the center for the door was 4.25...
I know the top of the barn was 9 inches wide.. height was ?
I also overlapped the top and the bottom of the barn a bit...
Than I kind of rounded them off by eyeballing it from Al's Toy Barn and took off the topper of Al's Barn..

Okay, here is what I have added.. now I"m just missing my grass and adhering the animals...

Is the bale of hay the realistic paper or do you have real hay in there?
 
No paper.. we have a few kids in our club that are allergic to hay...so it wasn't an option...but one that I did consider!!!!!
 
They are allergic to hay and have to scrap the fair?
Hope it isn't a serious allergy.
 
NO mainly hives from what I have been told...but I hate to cause the problem..

Okay, off to work on some more pages for the kids to put together at our next meeting!
