Hello | Simple Stories | The Little Things Collection

 




Hello

Greetings, my friends! I'm thrilled to share with you a delightful layout that features Simple Stories *The Little Things* collection. The layout beautifully displays a series of photos documenting the fun memories of my son and me enjoying ourselves while lacing beads. Pictures like these are truly remarkable and have beautifully captured some wonderful memories.




To create a backing for my photos, I cut a piece of the *Enjoy Every Day* paper to a size of 4 1/2 x 6 inches and then arranged the photos to overlap slightly. (Photos measurements-1 5/8 x 3 1/2 inches)



With so many beautiful, patterned papers in this collection, selecting a few pieces from the 6x8 patterned paper pad was easy to create chevron shapes using a diamond punch. After carefully adding hand stitching along the edges, I adhered it to the left side of the page.




I couldn't go past using some gorgeous Floral Bits and Pieces for embellishing. I created two beautiful floral clusters. I added one to the photos' bottom right-hand corner and placed another in the top left. I also used some foam tape to add dimension when adhering the flowers and created a beautiful frame around my design using some hand-stitched, and I love how it turned out.




For my title, I chose one of the lovely Foam stickers that I really liked and placed it below the photos. Underneath the title, I included a Chipboard Sticker phrase along with my journaling to tie it all together.



Thank you so much for joining me here on the blog today. I hope that you've found some inspiration!

Yvette xoxo

Hello friends! Yvette here today, and I am so excited to share my first layout for Simple Stories using the gorgeous "Flea Market" collection! I love how versatile this collection is. Instead of using it to document a typical flea market/vintage-style photo, I decided to use an older photo of my son just enjoying the outdoors.




I decided to start with a white background and bring in some colors and patterns from the collection. I created multiple layers using the 4x6 Element, Vintage Memories, and the Teal cardstock from the Color Vibe, to which I added washi tape. The edges were distressed, and machine stitching was added to the light green grid paper (the reverse side of the 4x6 Element paper).




I cut apart one of the 3x4 card elements from the 6x8 paper pad, placed one to the left of my photo, and tucked the other under the patterned paper layers.






I used one of the Foam Stickers for my title and placed it on the bottom right corner of my photo.
 
To embellish my page, I used a few pieces from the Journal Bits, Floral Bits, and Bits & Pieces to create an overall design balance.





I finished my page with a few Decorative Brads and black paint splatters.





Thanks for stopping by today! I hope my layout has given you inspiration for your own scrapbooking. Here is the link to the process video. https://youtu.be/q2ZiOC46Fmw
