Hi there, it’s Emma back with a look at the Simple Stories Crafty Girl collection. There’s nothing I enjoy more than having a crafty afternoon, filling my desk with lots of goodies to play with, and when you have a stash of goodies called ‘Crafty Girl’  there’s no better excuse than that!

Just take a look at the bright cheerful colours that the Crafty Girl collection has to offer!! I dived straight in to make the dashboard by cutting out lots of the coloured pencils which were on one of the cut a parts on a 12x12 sheet from the collection kit. I had the idea of putting them in a jar which I drew and cut out, using foam back sticky pads it gave it a 3D effect.

I used some of the chipboard pieces and the large chipboard banner to also add some dimension.

I couldn’t stop there though, I’d got my crafty head on and decided to decorate the reverse side of the dashboard too! Here I cut out some of the colourful strips with words on and used them like bunting, I love how colourful it all is, it really makes me smile!

What a fun, cheerful front page it makes in my A5 Coral Carpediem planner!

You know how I love to fill my planner pockets, well, I didn’t hold back! I knew I just had to use the fabulous crafty girl faces in my pockets and I’m a sucker for flowers so they went in there too!!

Wow! The Crafty Girl collection is everything and more that a Crafty Girl could possibly ask for! Crafty Girls are happy girls, and this collection sure makes me happy!!
