MEMORIES TOGETHER/A CHERRY ON TOP

Good morning! Nicole here with another layout I created using Simple Stories' For the Record collection. I promise...this is the last project you will see from me using this collection because I'm all out.

I just love that green print paper. The design is absolutely beautiful! I used it to create a nice border around the layout by cutting the green patterned paper to measure 81/2x11. I cut the journal paper to measure 71/2x10. Once the papers were adhered together, I grabbed a few more scraps of patterned paper and added them across the top of the layout to fill in the white space.

I added the title across the top using foam stickers. I love the thickness of these stickers. They are perfect for filling in white space, too.

I cut the tag from the cut-apart sheet, punched a hole through it and added some string through the hole to make it pretty. Next, I layered lots of ephemera to fill in the white space. Love all the pretty embellishments clustered together.

I added a few more tags at the bottom with the floral bits to fill in the white space. Isn't this layout so pretty? I love it.

There's still a little bit of the For the Record collection in the shop! Thanks so much for visiting today!

SAY CHEESE CLASSIC POOH ALBUM/SIMPLE STORIES

Hello, friends! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend. I'm excited to give my sister this adorable album I made for her using Simple Stories' Say Cheese Classic Pooh collection. Five years ago, we threw here a Winnie the Pooh themed baby shower and it was just perfect and this collection was perfect for documenting her baby shower.

I covered the front of the album with patterned paper and then matte the photo behind the chipboard frame to create a fun cover for the album. Next, I added some foam stickers, chipboard, enamel dots, ribbon and the decorative brad.

The rub-ons are super cute!! I created a cluster for the inside of the album using rub-ons. They layer together nicely.

This is one of the pages from the 6x8 paper pad. I added some stickers, chipboard, and die cuts to make it more fun.

I used metal frame dies to create the frames for the photos and layered lots of embellishments all over the layout. The black and white pooh and piglet at the bottom was created using the rub-ons. Isn't this spread so cute?!

I created a flip page by cutting two 4x6 journaling cards together and then folded it in half. Next, I used foam strips to pop up all the die cuts etc. The little flowers were created with metal dies with an enamel sticker added to the center.

I love the plaid patterned paper and how it looks with the label, enamel dots and die cut flower. It's the little touches here and there that makes this album stand out.

I always like to use rub-ons to create a fun journaling spread. I left this blank so that my sister could journal her memories of her special day.

I used chipboard embellishments to decorate the chipboard pages...and the tabs have sentiments from the rub-ons.

This is a simple page. I used one of the papers from the 6x8 paper pad and added the "love" foam sticker along with a few bees.

I always decorate the bookplates so that I know what album is what when they are lined up on my shelf.

For the back of album, I used a variety of rub-ons across the bottom. I just love this so much... It's so stinking cute.

Check out the entire album on my Instagram page, here. Also, I have a process video of how I set up this album if you are interested. Thanks so much for visiting!

SOCCER FLIPBOOK/SIMPLE STORIES

Hello, friends! Nicole here, sharing a fun flipbook I created using the Soccer Simple Set from Simple Stories. My son played soccer for three years, and I had so many fun photos of him playing with his friends that I just had to get them in an album. I'm happy that these are now all in one place! It's super cute, and I'm excited to share it with you.

I decorated the cover of the 4x6 flipbook using the soccer ball patterned paper. Next, I used foam stickers to pop up the "Soccer" die cut. I added the "let's kick some grass" sentiment below the title with the two stars from the sticker sheet.

I decorated the back of the flipbook using another patterned paper. Love that field. It's super fun. Next, I added a few stickers. This album is super simple, but oh, so fun!

For this spread, I cut the journaling card cut-apart sheet so that all of the cards connected to create this fun flip page. I used foam squares to pop the stickers over the journaling cards to add dimension.

I cropped the photo to measure 3x4 to fit nicely inside the flip page. After that, I added a few stickers to fill in the white space.

I kept this page simple, focusing on the photo. I placed the "the love of the game" sticker below the team photo and added the heart sticker to fill in the white space. 

I cut some of the soccer balls from the patterned paper and popped them up using foam squares to make this layout more fun.

Here's another simple layout where the photo is the main focus with just a few embellishments. Sometimes,  a little goes a long way!

I used the 4x6 journaling card from the cut-apart sheet to use as a fun page insert. I added the "C'MON REF!" speech bubble sticker using foam squares. Next, I placed the "I heart this game!" sticker at the bottom of the orange cone for fun.

I love the cone paper and really wanted to find a fun way to use it. I think this is perfect! Isn't this flipbook adorable? Are you ready to make one of your own?

I cut two 3x4 journaling cards together and placed the photo within one of the cards. I fussy cut the soccer ball from patterned paper and popped it on the page using foam squares.

And here is the back of the album. I decorated the back of the album using a variety of stickers. The soccer ball was fussy cut from patterned paper. I hope you love this little flip book as much as I do. I had so much fun making this album and going through my son's soccer photos. These photos bring me so much joy. See the full Soccer simple set, here. Thank you for visiting today!
