Hello Transition

The layout I am sharing today was inspired by the change Story Class. Before I got around to making the page, Ali Edwards released the transition Story class, which this also worked for so I wound up using stamps from both themes.

Papers are from Maggie Holmes. 

The layout needed a bit of sparkle so added a bit of Heidi Swapp’s gold color shine. Also added some enamel dots from my stash.

Here is a close up of the title created using the stamps.

Connect together

This layout was inspired by the Connect Story Stamp theme. 

I really found this stamp set very versatile. I found so many ways to use multiple stamps on this layout. 

The collection, Pink Paislee’s Switchboard, was also so very perfect for this layout! I had received the 6x6 paper pad, dies and stickers as a door prize for attending a crop ages ago and it was calling to me when I knew I wanted to tell the story.

I used this sketch to begin this layout. The I decided to create my own scallop border, shown in the sketch,   by using the dial paper and lining them up. Love that small touch!

Now this photo is not the best quality but, I went on search for the print of this and only found one original   scrapped with the background cut away, or the index print back from the negative sheet. This photo was taken on advantix film that is in the cartridges. Getting it reprinted would have required the whole being digitized and the cost and time was prohibitive for this project. The other photos on the roll were not worthy of the effort either. So I took a picture of the index sheet and printed small. Love having it on the layout, even in this state. The other photos on this layout were images of a phone I used to call him on. 

I love having this story documented. My kids seemed to be interested in how so much in technology has changed how we connect. So happy to add this to my albums!

#Quilt Love

 This layout made it to my bucket list when the Fabric Story theme was released. When I thought of stories that had to do with fabric, this quickly came to mind.

My husband’s aunt made each of my kids a homemade quilt. I love each one of them so much!

I used some of Paige Evans hexagon paper. This pattern screamed quilt with the faux stitching. I then added real stitches on the white stitches. 

I added some stamping on some of the hexagons from the Fabric Story Stamp. 

The subtitle was created with “handmade” made from the craft Story Stamp and piece by piece from the fabric set.

Title and hearts were created with Thickers.

Love these layouts that show all of my kids at about the same age. Love hahaving this bucket list story told!
