Hey everyone! I’m sharing this super cute layout celebrating
the newest addition to our family, a brand new baby cousin 💛
I used the gorgeous Say Cheese Classic Pooh Baby collection
by @simplestories_, with a sunny yellow background, a block of three photos,
and lots of beautiful florals and those adorable Classic Pooh characters. They
are just the sweetest and were perfect for documenting such a special moment
(the baby is pretty cute too!).
Happy scrapping,

Hey everyone, here is another layout for Simple Stories
using the gorgeous Simple Vintage Junk Drawer collection. For this layout I
picked out some of the gorgeous blues. I love this shade of blue, a muted
blue-grey, what a gorgeous tone!
I had a large photo of me and my little boy on the London
Eye featuring blue skies and blue clothes so blue was definitely the way to go!
The photo is almost a panoramic, but not quite as it doesn’t go all the way
across the layout. I decided to go with this and extend the layout into a
horizontal design. I choose the pretty blue paper with flowers and butterflies
and creates a wide strip to go all the way across. I tore the top edge and layered
this with another torn piece of paper.
I mounted my photo and then sat it on the blue strip -perfect!
I then began to add some embellishments: a couple of journaling cards tucked
behind the photo at the top, and lots of Floral Bits at two corners of the
photo.
I kept adding to my large clusters with pieces from the Bits
and Pieces, Floral Bits and Foam Stickers. For my title I used the word ‘wonder’
from the Bits and Pieces pack and added a subtitle of ‘moments to treasure’
underneath it.
I added some Cardstock Stickers, lots of small hearts from
the Bits and Pieces and some Decorative Brads. I like having lots of different
textures in my clusters and Decorative Brads are great for this. I also added ‘you
and me’ from the Rub Ons above my photo.
I finished off with some handwritten journaling and some splatters
of black paint.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my two layouts made with Simple
Vintage Junk Drawer, I absolutely adored using this collection, it is so
beautiful and so easy to use!
Happy scrapping

Hey everyone, here is a new layout for Simple Stories using
the very beautiful Simple Vintage Junk Drawer, a collection full of vintage icons
and beautiful florals.
I choose to use a white sheet for my background which I
paired with the pretty pink floral paper from the collection. I trimmed it down
so I had a large panel for the middle of my layout, and then I fully cut the discarded
corner piece and added it back onto my layout.
I mounted a 6x4 photo onto more pretty pink floral paper and
tucked it inside the embellishment cluster from the paper. I cut around the
edge so I could slot my photo corner under all those lovely details – they are
too nice to cover up!
I then added some of the Junk Drawer Rub Ons behind the large
pink panel so that they showed at the edges, and then added my embellishments
in these areas. I used lots of Floral Bits and some Bits and Pieces as well as
items fussy cut from the papers.
I added my title ‘treasured memories’ from the Foam Stickers
and lots of small foam hearts from the same pack. I also added Decorative Brads
and several stickers from the Cardstock Stickers as well as more Rub Ons.
I finished off by handwriting my journaling and adding a few
splatters of black paint which contrasts brilliantly with the light pink
pastels.
Thank you so much for joining me today and happy scrapping

Here’s my layout playing along with this month’s @fortheloveofprettypaper
sketch! I loved those four squares and reached straight for a 6x8 paper pad for
those. I’ve used the very pretty Simple Vintage Flower Shoppe collection by
Simple Stories that I’ve been hoarding! This layout documents my little boy
dancing around the Maypole at school on Village Day – so adorable!
Head over to the For the Love of Pretty Paper Facebook Group
to join in and play along with this month’s challenge, have fun!
Happy scrapping
