LET'S GET LOST/SIMPLE STORIES

Hello, friends! I'm back today with a SNAP Binder I created using the beautiful Woodlands Collection by Simple Stories. This collection is perfect for documenting the great outdoors! And the Cranberry SNAP Binder works perfectly with this collection. No ribbon needed for this cover!

I used the two insert pages that came with the album to create my own pocket page. The embellishments look so pretty on here!! I especially adore the dragonfly and fox. Isn't this the cutes?!
I cut two 3x4 journaling cards and added a few stickers, chipboard, and decorative brads to add dimension. Next, I cut 4 3x4 journaling tags so they were still attached and folded both ends towards the middle to create the fold. After that, I mounted it directly to the plastic sleeve.
Here is the inside of the flip page. The die cuts  frames the photo nicely, and adds the perfect touch! 
I decorated this pocket page with a few die cuts and decorative brads. This little cluster of embellishments makes me happy!

I cut the tag from the cut-apart tag sheet and added the chipboard, stickers and decorative brad to the center of the 3x4 mat. Next, I added the chipboard sticker, decorative brad and foam sticker to the photos as shown. Super simple-focusing on the beautiful photos.
To create this fun bookmark, I folded the cranberry stripe page in half and mounted both sides together with adhesive. Next, I layered a variety of die cuts and stickers in a fun cluster. I placed the "the world is yours to explore" foam sticker above the butterfly and then I cut part of the tag to fill in the space at the top.
I matted two photos behind the chipboard frame onto the 6x8 patterned paper. Next, I added the embellishments, and punched a hole through the patterned paper to snap in the binder.
I used a 6x8 patterned paper for the base. Next, I cut the plaid patterned paper in half and mounted it at the top half of the layout. I placed two 3x4 photos onto the layout, slightly overlapping each other. After that, I placed all the beautiful embellishments down.

I used the Chipboard frame to frame the pretty photo of us at the Garden of the Gods in Colorado. The colors look so pretty with the photo. I just love how this turned out. I mounted the dragonfly sticker at the top of the frame, sitting on the flower. Isn't this collection so pretty? I'll be sharing a few more pages using this collection in the next few days!

GATHER TOGETHER/SIMPLE STORIES

Good morning, friends! I'm excited to share my latest Aspen SNAP Binder using Simple Stories' latest collection, Simple Vintage Autumn Breeze. This collection is so pretty, and I have the perfect photos to use in this album. LOVE when that happens.

There are so many things I love about his collection...but my absolute favorites are the rub-ons and foam stickers...and let's not forget the Decorative brads. Ah, they are so pretty, I just love them all. I decorated the back of the front cover using a cluster of rub-ons and then I added the adorable chipboard fox. Isn't he cute!?

The prints in the 6x8 paper pad is so gorgeous. I used them for fun insert pages for my album. This paper doesn't need much because it's very busy in a beautiful way...I just added the "making memories" foam sticker and heart below the title.

I matted the photos using the Vintage Basics Kit. I cut the 3x4 photos down slightly to fit within the 3x4 mats. Next, I cut two 3x4 journaling cards and embellished them with die cuts and foam stickers. I added the die cut to the photo using a foam strip to add dimension. 

For this spread, I matted the photos using the Vintage Basics Kit and cut two 3x4 journaling cards from the cut-apart sheet. Next, I cut the tag from the cut-apart tag sheet and then I added the embellishments. 
I had fun playing with the beautiful florals. I popped them up on the photo and 4x6 journaling card using foam strips to add dimension. Next, I added a few die cuts, foam stickers and decorative brads.
I decorated this pocket page using a variety of pretty die cuts. I LOVE these die cuts layered together. I'm totally feeling the fall vibes!
I kept this spread pretty simple by matting the photos and using the 3x4 journaling cards to fill in the pockets. The embellishments are just perfect.

Here is a fun flip page I created by cutting four 3x4 journaling cards so they were attached and folding both ends towards the middle to create the fold. 
I used the chipboard frame from the Woodland collection to create a fun chipboard insert page. I love how this frame works with this collection! What do you think? Are you ready to document your autumn memories using this beautiful collection!? Thank you so much for visiting today. Check out my process video, here!

MAKES YOU SMILE/PRETTY LITTLE STUDIO

Good morning, friends! Nicole here with a cute layout I created of my niece and nephew using the Love is Kind collection.


I absolutely love the large title on this layout. It makes me smile...I added the "friendship" sentiment onto the title with foam strips to add dimension.
I layered a variety of tags and die cuts at the top of the layout to fill in the white space. It adds such a nice whimsical and playful touch to the layout. What do you think?
Have you had a chance to play with this darling collection? I have a few more projects to share with you using this collection in the upcoming months. Thank you so much for visiting today and click here to see the full Love is Kind collection.
