Summer

It's time for my last project using the Simple Stories "100 Days of Summer" collection. I had a blast with this line because there are so many journaling cards and their sticker sheet is awesome! So, for this layout I wanted to incorporate those two things, because they're so much fun!


The "summer" banner was cut out of one of adorable patterned papers, I then threaded twine through a hole I created on the top two corners and then I used brads to tie the twine on to so it looked a bit more like the banner was hanging.

An Address Book

I've been wanting to create an address book for quite some time, but I haven't found the right collection to play with. That all changed when I received the Simple Stories "100 Days of Summer" collection in the mail. The papers are gorgeous and there is a cute house that's perfect for the cover! I actually cut out one of the houses from a journaling card, framed it, and then added the house sticker from the sticker sheet on top for some dimension. It kind of looks like the trees are in the background!


I created the pages for the address book in MS Word - now I just need to start filling them out!


This chipboard mini album by Maya Road came with envelopes and I knew that one would be perfect for holding stamps. I may also put my return address labels in another one! If you're using an album that didn't come with envelopes, you can always adhere one to one of the inside covers.

Let's Capture Our Memories

Sun Kissed

One thing I love about Let's Capture Our Memories is their great selection! I've worked with so many lovely manufacturers and I've even been able to play with some companies that are new to me, including this month's Simple Stories. If you like Echo Park, I guarantee you'll love Simple Stories - 100 Days of Summer. This collection has a bit of a distressed look (which I love) and tons of tags and journaling cards - perfect for someone who enjoys fussy cutting as much as I do!


Yup, you guessed it - I cut out the sun and bathing suits from a journaling tag. But, if fussy cutting makes you a little nervous, there are element stickers in this collection that have these, too!
