BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES WEDDING ALBUM/SIMPLE STORIES

Good morning, friends! Nicole here with a beautiful SN@P Album I created using the Simple Vintage Timeless Harmony collection. This collection is so pretty and serene. I really love the soft color palette with the green, cream and light brown tones with a touch of mint and teal throughout the patterned papers and embellishments. This collection is perfect for my outdoor wedding photos from May 8th, 2004.

This collection is so pretty. I love the color scheme with the mauve blue and soft green tones with the touch of cream, teal and black. It's so beautiful. The patterns and embellishments are perfect for documenting wedding memories, concerts, and family time together.

I used the Interactive Pages throughout this album to create different page formats to make the album more interesting and eye catching. They are perfect for adding a few foam stickers, chipboards and rub-ons!

My favorite elements in this collection aside from the beautiful floral patterned papers is the butterflies. I just love them so much. I used several of them throughout this album.

Here is a pretty pocket page spread I created using the cut-apart journaling cards and tags. I added a few stickers, foam stickers and chipboard to add dimension.

I LOVE the sticker tabs! They are perfect for adding at the bottom of the photos to use as a title or journaling spot.

I created this 6x8 layout using the back of an interactive page. I tucked die cuts slightly behind the photos and added a few stickers and chipboard pieces to frame the photos. Next, I hand-journaled my story on a cut-apart tag.

For the pocket pages, I tried to stay true to the colors and elements so the pages have a nice cohesive look and everything flows nicely across the album. This spread is so beautiful and timeless. I love the touch of vintage thought this collection.

I layered a variety of die cuts and foam stickers to bring this spread together. I love that bow foam sticker! I think it looks perfect on the ticket stub. I used rub-ons for the title at the bottom of the photo.

I layered a variety of die cuts, chipboard and stickers on a 4x6 mat to create the top 4x6 page. Next, I added the photo below with no additional embellishments due to spacing constraints. As you can see, you do not need to have embellishments on every pocket page! I know...I struggle with this because I want to use all the things!

I hope you found this album inspiring! It feels so good to finally get my wedding photos in a nice sized album! And it's so lovely...I just love it. Thank you for visiting today!

PURE BLISS/A CHERRY ON TOP

Hello, friends! Nicole here with a layout I created using Pinkfresh Studio's latest collection, Ordinary Joys. At first glance, this collection looked more falls to me. However, after going through all the beautiful embellishments, I determined that this collection is versatile. It will work perfectly for all of those ordinary moments in your life.

What I love the most about this collection is the primary colors and patterns. It's such a great collection filled with a variety of fun elements. I used bits and pieces from the entire collection because I just couldn't help myself...I love clustering embellishments to fill in all the white space. I cut the patterned paper to measure 8 1/2 x 11. I cut the blue wavy patterned paper to create a fun border along the right-side of the layout. Next, I matted two 3x4 photos and another photo using the chipboard frame. After that, I placed the photos down and embellished all the white space with a variety of embellishments.

The clustered embellishments are so pretty. What do you think? Do you love this collection as much as I do? I especially love the fabric borders! They are super fun.

COURAGE IS QUIET ARE JOURNAL SPREAD/MINTAY PAPERS

Hello, friends! I'm excited to share my latest art journal spread I created using Mintay Paper's Art Journal Essentials. When they first came out with this new collection, I was excited. The patterns are so interesting and unique! For this spread, I used the Ink Aura paper pad and the Art Journal Essential word stickers, definition stickers and the Vintage Ephemera pieces.

I was especially drawn to the gorgeous color palette of these papers! And those butterflies...ah, so pretty!

I added a few glitter drops to the center of the flowers to add some sparkle. The butterflies and the cluster of flowers I fussy cut were popped up with foam squares to add dimension. 

I love the torn paper edges. It gives it a nice rustic feel with the stencil work I created using the stencil and polishing plaster.
