FROSTY/MY CREATIVE SCRAPBOOK

Hello, friends! I'm back with two more layouts I created using the January main kite from My Creative Scrapbook. For spring break this year, my husband and son went out to visit my sister in Colorado and they went skiing and snowboarding, which is something Edward has been wanting to do. This kit is perfect for snow days!

I kept this layout simple, focusing on the photos. I used a variety of patterned papers for the background and matted the photos using tags and ephemera. Next, I added the rub-ons to the photo and the embellishments to fill in the white space.

The rub-ons look so pretty on this photo...and it's so perfect!

For the second layout, I decided to play with mixed media to create gorgeous snowflakes in the background. I used a stencil and polishing plaster to create the background.

I also used more rub-ons! I just couldn't get enough of them. They are perfect for filling in white space and if you're not sure what to journal, these work perfectly.

Here's a closer look at the snowflakes. Aren't they beautiful? If you would like a closer look at this month's kit, the links are included below. Thanks so much for visiting today! Check out my process videos, here!

WELCOME TO THE WORLD SNAP BINDER ALBUM/SIMPLE STORIES

Happy Friday, friends! It's hard to believe that my baby will be 16 years old on the 21st! I once read a quote from a book that said, "the days move slow and the years goes by fast." And isn't that the truth?! I finally got around to making a baby album for Edward. I had photos in a post bound album. LOL...I know. Sad, but hey, better late than never!

For this Album, I used Simple Stories' Say Cheese Classic Pooh Baby collection. It's super cute, and I just love how this came together! I Kept the cover simple, adding paper and a few foam stickers and the chipboard to the center. Next, I added the ribbon with the decorative brad.

I love this cute 6x8 patterned paper that comes in the paper pad. I added the yellow foam sticker heart to the balloon to add dimension and then placed the flower foam sticker at the bottom of the journaling section.

The big "You'll always be my baby" die cut is super fun. I love how it takes up the bottom portion of the layout-hiding Edward's bottom. I tucked the tag from the cut-apart sheet behind the photo and added a few stickers and decorative brads to fill in the white space.

One thing that I love about this collection is that it comes with interactive pages and pockets!! I was super thrilled when I saw this new addition to the collection. They are so pretty!

Here is another interactive page from the packet. I added the patterned paper to the inside to break up the plaid pattern. Next, I matted the photos using die cuts and journaling cards. Once the photos were mounted down, I added all the pretty embellishments. I LOVE this spread so much.

I used the notebook paper from the SNAP Binder to journal about the day when we brought Edward home!  I love how simple this page is...with the overall design. The foam stickers across the top really make a difference with the design. 

This is another interactive page. It's a large tag that I added a photo to, and then I added the layered flowers and embellishments to add dimension. 

Of course I had to add a belly shot, too! 

The 4x6 journaling card looks so perfect with the adorable photo. I kept it simple, focusing on the photo.

I hope you found these pages inspiring. This is not even half the layouts I created in this album. Check out my process video on how I set this album up. Also, I have a full reel of the album on my Instagram account.Thank you so much for visiting today.

Hugs,

GAME NIGHT FLIPBOOK/SIMPLE STORIES

Happy Monday, friends! It's Nicole here with a fun 6x8 flipbook I created using the Game Night collection. This collection is perfect for gamers such as myself and family members...My family always plays games during the holidays and I have quite a few pictures over the years of us all playing together. The Game Night collection has pieces from just about all the popular board games and I'm here for it!

I covered the front of the flipbook using patterned paper from the 6x8 paper pad. Next, I added the foam stickers and ribbon. The foam stickers are fantastic and they are perfect for the cover of this album.

This print from the 6x8 paper pad is my absolute favorite! LOVE all the different board games, super fun! To make the first page of the album, I kept it simple, just adding the "Memories" foam sticker and decorative brads.

The Candy Land 4x6 card is super fun! I especially had fun decorating it with the Candy Land stickers and die cuts. It's one of my favorites I used to play with Edward when he was little.

The polka dot paper goes perfectly with the "ROLL THE DICE" foam stickers. I kept this spread pretty simple. Not all pages need to be layered with stickers and die cuts. Although, I love to layer all the things!

Here's a fun 6x8 spread I created using bits and pieces of the Game Night collection. I kept this spread pretty clean and simple, focusing on the photos.

The picture of my grandmother is priceless! I added the "winner" foam sticker onto the photo along with the stickers and decorative brad to fill in the white space. And the card on the bottom flips into another page, which is super fun. I added the "game night" die cut using foam strips to add dimension. Next, I added the star decorative brad to the center of the spin wheel.

I took a picture of my favorite board games to use as a photo for this spread. Next, I cut four 3x4 cards so they were attached and folded the ends towards the center to create the flip page. After that, I added the foam stickers, and decorative brad for fun.

Imagine how excited I was to come across the Connect Four die cuts! I had just the right photos, too. Super fun! I layered the game piece with the "times up" label, tag, and stickers.

Another favorite game of ours is Scrabble. I LOVE that my son enjoys playing with me, and he's actually really good at it! Those scrabble tile stickers and die cuts made the perfect title.

Here's another pocket page I created using the tag from the cut-apart sheet and journaling cards. This is so fun and delightful. It makes me want to play games. Thank you so much for visiting today! Check out the full process video, here.
