Hello Simple Stories fans!!  Have you been seeing the posts from CHA with all the fabulous collections that are being released. Wow!!!  I am so excited about so many of them and I had a blast playing with the new I AM... collection.

 

I created this layout about me - the I AM... collection is perfect for just that!   Scrapping 'me' is  something that I don't usually do because most of my layouts are about my family.  Maybe that's because I don't have enough pictures of me - something I guess I should remedy this coming year!  Anyways, here's the layout that I created.

 

 

I chose to journal about a life-changing event in my life which keeps me grateful for everything!  I printed my journaling on one of the I AM... SN@P! Cards.

 

 

I layered some patterned papers from the 6x6 I AM... paper pad onto the fabulous black striped 12x12 paper (which I absolutely adore!).

 

 

I love the new gold foil look that's in the embellishments!  It's just brings so much life to your projects!  The die cut feathers reminded of taking flight and continuing on this journey of life - so I thought that they were a perfect touch on my layout.

 

 

Oh, and how could I forget the new paper clips embellishments!  I used the flower design at the top section of my page and love it!

 

 

The second layout that I created for today is titled "My exercise today".  I used the new SNOW FUN collection for this page and it fit perfectly with some pictures I had from our big snowfall last year.

 

 

I love the colour scheme and rustic nature with the wood grain in this collection. 

I layered my title with some alpha stickers and then cut out the word 'today' with my silhouette .

 

 

I added a few more embellishments here & there - some with foam squares just for added dimension.

 

 

 

What a fun collection this is for all those winter pictures!

 

Thanks for popping by today!
