Happy (inter) National Scrapbook Day! - Simple Stories

Happy (inter) National Scrapbook Day! Thanks for stopping by!

Here's a look at what I created.

For this layout, I used the Oh Happy Day collection. 
I just love the bright colors and that it was great to document a picture 
from our Colorado trip from two years ago. 


I used the Oh Happy Day collection kit and the coordinating
Simple Basics kit as my base.


For my main cluster I cut down three sheets of patterned paper to 4x6 and glued them down kinda wonky. From there I added my 3x4 photo and a 4x4 journaling card that I cut down to 3x4. I'm not a huge fan of my handwriting but I wanted to include a little journaling.

All of the adorable embellishments are from the 6x12 chipboard,
the combo sticker sheet, and the 4x6 stickers. 




 I did add a little foam to the word fabulous, the photo of all of us, and the one llama.
Then I finished my layout off with a little cluster at the top. 

Thanks for stopping by!

You Are Loved- Simple Stories

YOU ARE LOVED! Hey y’all! Courtney here and today I am sharing the layout I created using the So Happy Together collection. This is such a beautiful collection and I wanted to put every single piece in the collection on my layout. I decided to go with a free cut file from Paper Issues so I could use a ton of patterned papers. For backing my cut files I used a variety of pattern papers from the 6x8 paper pad. I love having the smaller prints to use with cut files. I cut my actual cut file on the Happy Heart paper, I am obsessed with anything polka dot and black and white. I cut about an inch ½ inch on each side so I could layer the beautiful Our Story paper behind it. After I filed my cut file, I began laying a ton of ephemera, chipboard and stickers. There is a ton of great images and tiny word phrases. I layered a 4x4 photo that I trimmed down to fit onto the gingham 4x4 card and then I layered it onto the My Family paper. Then I finished my cluster with a w...

You and Me- Simple Stories

YOU & ME! Hey y’all! Courtney here again and today I am sharing a layout that I created using Autumn Splendor collection. This collection reminds me of my child hood. We always had these amazing vintage calendars in our house and every year when they were done my mom would cut them up to use as ephemera or decoupage the cutouts on something artistic. For this layout, I used  a cut file from Paper Issues called You and Me and cut it out in black to make it pop off the page. Then I backed the cut file in Seasons if Change, the B side of the 4x4 elements, Grateful Hearts, Autumn Leaves, and the b side of the 2x2 elements. I used the Elm/Cream Ledger paper from the SN@P Basics as my background. I matted my photos on a piece of vellum and then on the Grateful Hearts paper. I layered them on either side of the cut file. I created three clusters with another cut file from Paper Issues called Collecting Leaves that I cut out of the Turquoise Dots paper. I then layer...
