Crafty Time

This layout was inspired by Ali Edwards Time Story Kit and Stamp. 

The design was inspired by a sketch that I had saved on Pinterest here.

This journey at Simple Scrapper, the challenge was to have a layered title. This one used the Story Kit acrylic word and some Thickers.

The sentiment in the wood veneer circle was perfect for this story. I loved the sketch but, per my usual I had to find a creative solution for all of my words. I used vellum to print my journaling into strips and then layered them onto the bright strips of paper.

The paper including the background are from Vicki Boutin’s Color Study collection. 

It was fun to create the border of clocks at the top of the page that was inspired by how Ali Edwards used the clock stamp at the top of her page in the class content. I layered a piece of vellum with stamping at the top of the border. 

Loved how this one turned out! It was a fun one to make!

 

Make Up

This layout was inspired my the Up Story Kit by Ali Edwards. There is a stamp that says make up but I am not entirely sure if  it was intended for this meaning. 

This story felt like a 31 Things prompt and so it is no surprise that I had a lot to say on the topic. 

When I was working through Simple Scrappers’ Square One class and I was presented with a sketch that had space for a 6x12 sized photo, my brain went to the Simple Stories collections that had the 6x12 cut aparts that had journaling space. I then followed the sketch pretty closely. 

Since I started with a Simple Stories paper pad, I tried to find elements in the cut a parts and patterns that I could use to embellish. I leaned into the florals. The title I created using the Up story Stamp word using black ink and clear embossing powder on vellum as well as layering a stamp from the Make Story Stamp in black layered with red embossing powder.  

The labels came from a cut a part and I stamped with other stamps from my stash. To repeat the vellum, I pinched 2 circles and placed them in a visual triangle as a base for clusters.

Love how it turned out and that I was able to easily include all of my words in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
