K is for Kindergarten- Photo Prop

After already making my first day of school frame (see it here), I came across another photo prop on Apples and ABC's (see it here) that was just too cute to ignore.  I was especially excited to make my own version of her "K is for Kindergarten" because of my latest Mod Podge obsession.

Here is my finished product:

I used my adorable (soon to be second grade) niece as a model:
