Beautiful | For the Love of Pretty Paper Sketch | Simple Stories Simple Vintage Flower Shoppe

 

Here’s my take on this month’s For the Love of Pretty Paper sketch, and I had so much fun layering all those beautiful squares!

I stayed pretty close to the original sketch but decided to flip it for a little twist. I used papers from a 6x8 paper pad for the squares and I added lots of pretty florals and butterflies. I also added several words from the Sentiment Bits pack, I think they look gorgeous layered over all those patterns!

I used the @SimpleStories Simple Vintage Flower Shoppe collection, which is so pretty!

Happy scrapping!

Play! GoGo Getaway NSD Cylinder Shape Challenge | Simple Stories Family Fun

 

It’s National Scrapbooking Day, and we’re celebrating over at GoGo Getaway with a series of Shape-Tastic Challenges to get the creativity flowing!

My challenge was to use a cylinder shape — so of course, I thought of rolled paper strips right away. I used them to create a square frame on my layout, inspired by the colours and sections of the classic Monopoly board.

This page documents my son's recent adventure taking part in the Monopoly Run around London with his Scout Troop. Along with 14,000 other Scouts, his group walked 15 miles in a day, finding all the Monopoly landmarks!

I used the Family Fun collection by Simple Stories for this layout — an older favourite of mine that fit the theme perfectly. I even added the word "GO!" in the corner for a little Monopoly magic!

Hope you’re having a fantastic NSD — happy scrapping!

For my layout, I couldn’t resist using the fabulous new Crafty Babe collection — it’s absolutely perfect for capturing crafty adventures and memories! I designed a playful concentric circle layout, tucked in a few tags, and sprinkled lots of crafty icons around the circles. I’m so happy with how it turned out!

Happy scrapping
