"I am absolutely crazy about this Simple Stories kit! The colors, the great patterns and the fun embellishments! I had fun layering the pieces for the Freaky Fast Friday to create this layout of my hubby and I!"
Here's a look at this month's formula...
I hope you have been inspired to create your own layout based on this month's formula and/or Heather's amazing layout.
If so, we would love for you to share it with us in our
"We don't get much snow here in Texas so I decided to get inspired by some of the fun word strips and use this line to document our first annual Hot Cocoa Bar this Christmas Eve! The papers perfectly matched my niece's sweater and I loved using all the fun stickers to make a title for my layout! From my stash: black card stock, enamel dots, rhinestones & Letter stickers"
I loved the fun patterns and all the beautiful colors in this kit! These papers are perfect for any type of occasion but worked especially well with these pictures of my friend's sweet grandbaby and her happy face! I especially loved the fun clear word/washi stickers included in the kit. I backed my quote on white cardstock to make it pop on the patterned paper. From my stash: pink and white cardstock & black Thickers
"Hello New Home"
By: Heather Guy
Heather said this about her layout:
We just bought and moved into a new home in the country this summer! This picture was one of the first I took of our new home and I loved this kit for scrapping that memory. “Bloom where you are planted” and this is now it! I had fun layering all the embellishments! I added some alphas from my stash for the “new home” and stamped the date that we got possession of our home.
"Orange and pink and teal . . . Oh my! What a beautiful collection! I am still trying to scrap a Gatlinburg, TN trip from 3 years ago and this kit was the perfect colors for that fall trip! I added some puffy hearts from a previous kit to finish off the page as well as some distress ink around the edges of the page."
"Beautiful Day"
By: Grace Tolman
Grace said this about her layout:
"This specific mini kit had a bunch of die cut shapes, as well as a paper that had a bunch of cut aparts and I had wanted to maximize the products so I used most of them on the top, peeking out from my paper border. I also added them to the block of photos to fill in the empty spaces. It’s amazing how a little paper here and there made this page full without too much effort on my part. The kit also came with tags and I used them here, adding the twine for some texture and dimension to the page. Because the pattern papers were quite busy, I loved how the foam letters from the Embellishment kit stood out against all the busyness. I completed my title with another type of letter stickers, from my stash, which is also white.
Grace also used the January Embellishment kit and the following personal stash items: Chipboard Thickers letters (American Crafts); Date stamp (Studio Calico); Ink (Black, My Favorite Things)"
