ALWAYS REMEMBER/SIMPLE STORIES

Good morning, friends! Have you seen the Remember collection from Simple Stories. Oh, my goodness...it is absolutely beautiful and I had so much fun creating this album for my sister. Her birthday is in a few days and I plan on gifting this to her. She has a beautiful little family and I enjoy preserving her memories for her since she isn't a scrapbooker. 

The color scheme of this beautiful collection caught my eye and I especially love the beautiful flowers, too. It's so lovely.

My sister's pictures worked perfectly for this collection. Their clothing meshed so well together with all the beautiful patterns and embellishments. I like to cut my die cut flowers in half to make them last! They look great across the top of the photo and they help fill in the white space to frame the photo better.

I stuck with a specific design throughout the album. You will notice how I add a journaling card and embellishments to the left-side of the pages and the pictures are on the right-side. I really think it adds so much to the album and overall flow of the pages.

LOVE that camera die cut so much. I embellished it with a decorative brad and a few stickers. I especially love the chipboard cluster of embellishments slightly overlapping the photo. Isn't it beautiful? I used the "cherish" rub-on over the picture with a few enamel dots. I just love it so much.

For the left-side, I layered a few patterned papers together and added the photo strip rub-on and the "LOVE" foam stickers. Isn't this lovely. I just love layering embellishments together. I added lots of layers to the adorable photo on the other side.
The foam stickers are another favorite of mine... I decided to add the "today" foam stickers at the bottom of the photo. Next, I added the decorative brad to the center of the "o" and added a few floral die cuts. Ah, isn't this spread lovely? 


I decided to do something different with this page... This was a first for me...I used a strong adhesive to mount down the chipboard frame over a plastic page... I LOVE that it makes this album a little Chunky and it adds so much charm!

Here is another fun spread I created with the journaling cards, die cuts, enamel dots and chipboard butterflies for the decorative brad pack. LOVING all the layers. I punched two holes through the big tag, added another layer of flowers and the butterfly to make a fun insert for the album. The ribbon is from The Stamp Market.

Here is the back of the tag. I used foam squares to pop up the "celebrating you" banner sticker up off the tag for dimension.

I like cutting the cut-apart sheet to use the grid squares as part of the album. they are great for adding a few embellishments to fill in some of the white space.

What do you think? Isn't this lovely? I hope you found this album inspiring! You can purchase the Remember collection at A Cherry on Top! Click here to start shopping through my affiliate link. The price you pay will not be higher...I may receive compensation for the referral.
