Summer Adjectives

 


This layout was inspired by a journaling prompt to describe the summer in 5 adjectives. It also works for Simple Scrapper’s Member Challenge to use text as design. 


I started with the alpha stickers in my stash in creating a kit to create this layout. From there, in working toward using more of the SCT kits in my stash, I found one that matched the color and theme to put in my kit. 

I wanted a fairly neutral background so I found a Vicki Boutin mixed media background in a grey that made the letters pop.  


The title was made from a 4x6 pocket card that I fussy cut out and the smaller letters are Thickers from Paige Evans. 

Pulled some summer themed stamps from my stash and used to make word strips and on the paper clip. 

Finished off with enamel dots and some iridescent zigzag trim from my stash.

Best Birthday Ever


The layout I am sharing today was inspired by Ali Edwards' Best Story kit and stamp. I thought the story of the "best birthday ever" was perfect for this theme. Who can beat a free day at Disney plus an evening with scrapbooking with friends!


I used Simple Stories Magical Birthday Collection Kit to create the layout and finished it off with the acrylic word from the Best Story Kit and some enamel dots. 


Was able to use a stamp to finish this one off. 

So happy to have this story captured from so many years ago!
