I love creating a grid design to showcase lots of little elements on a page. On this layout, it was a great way to incorporate many of the pretty patterns from the Beautiful collection.

I added some cut floral shapes to the corners of my grid to soften all the straight lines in the design.

Each piece of the grid is a miniature canvas that I decorated with an assortment of chipboard, journal strips, stickers, die cuts and buttons. 

I also added machine stitching to a few of the grid blocks - it adds a bit of texture and a handmade touch!

Hello everyone ! It's Mindi here with you today. I am so excited to be sharing some December pocket pages that I have created using the new collection called Very Merry. Let's get started shall we. 

This first set of pages is all about us writing Santa Letters. I really loved pairing up all the Santa themed products in the collection. 

Our wonderful Elf had surprised the kids with Frozen movie tickets one year. This set of pages is all about us going to the movie. 

Included in the album are these wonderful insert pages. I really loved this plaid December word page. I left it mostly plain and only added a few embellishments here and there. 

For my last set of pocket pages that I want to share are all about hot chocolate. Our elf had brought the kids new hot cocoa mugs. I couldn't resist using this beautiful hot cocoa mug insert page. I propped up the silly elf label with some pop dots for some dimension. 

I added a few more hot cocoa photos on the other side. That candy cane heart card was simply perfect. 

I knew the Happy Harvest Simple Set would be the perfect pairing with my pumpkin patch photos. The only problem is which cute pattern to choose! I ended up selecting a floral, a stripe, and a gingham, along with an orange paper from the Old School Simple Set.

One of the 3x4 cards made a quick and simple title for my page.

To create a page border, I punched circles from various colored cardstock and topped them with lots of the stickers from the set. A few buttons complete the whimsical accent.

So grab your fall photos and the Happy Harvest Simple Set and get creating!

Hello everyone!

I hope you all are enjoying the Fall season, and all its splendor (at least here in the Northern Hemisphere!).   Nathalie with you today bringing you a new layout created with one of the new Simple Stories "HAPPY HARVEST" collection.

All the colors and designs in the Happy Harvest Simple Set are perfect to document our Thanksgiving memories.  For this I am using a Just Nick Studio to create the background of the  page.   All those leaves are the perfect background for the picture of my kids on Thanksgiving.

All the stickers in the set, as well as the designs in the  cut apart cuts are perfect to create small clusters around the layout.  To add the title of this page, i pulled the large chipboard sentiment from the Vintage Blessings collection.

I hope that you all are inspired by the colors and designs of the new Simple Stories "HAPPY HARVEST" collection.  The collection is perfect to document all those special Thanksgiving memories.  

See you all soon!

Hi friends! Linsey with you today sharing my latest project, a home décor piece to display throughout the Fall and Thanksgiving season! I hope you enjoy! 

The Vintage Blessings collection is so beautiful and versatile! It is absolutely perfect for this time of year, as it evokes a sense of warmth, gratitude, family and home. I wanted to showcase the many different pieces of this lovely collection and found a way to do so with this vintage-style 3D shadowbox. It is filled to the brim with some of my favorites things, like the rose pattern tea set, yummy pumpkin pie and sweet birdie perched atop a tree branch. The 4x4 element "so very blessed" was chosen to center the piece because it simply says it all. 

A delicate white doily, pretty ribbons and mulberry flowers were added and they all coordinated beautifully with the papers, die cuts and stickers from this collection. A few pops of black achieved with clear stickers completes the display. 

And that's all for me! Thank you so much for stopping by and allowing me to share my vintage blessings shadowbox with you! I hope you found a bit of inspiration in it! Have a great day and happy crafting!

Hello Friends! It's Kristine Davidson here today and I'm sharing a few more cards that I created with the NEW Vintage Blessings collection.  I really enjoyed creating these cards since this has such a mixture of patterns and those colors are just perfect to mix and match with.  Do you need a quick Thank You card? Maybe a Thanks for Being You Card ? You can create those by using this collection. 

Here are 3 more cards I created - 

You can easily change the " titles " of these cards and create Birthday Cards with them. If you simply replace the current bits and pieces that have the words blessings or blessed you can change the theme of the card by adding other stamped titles or other bits & pieces you have in your stash! 

Let's see those cards !!
