Hello! Jennifer on the blog today to share a layout I created using the new I  Am collection!  Many of us, including myself, are guilty of not documenting enough about ourselves. So, I  was excited to see another I  Am line!  The colors and prints are beautiful and I definitely have some favorites!  

For my background, I  layered the beautiful black floral print of Bold & Beautiful with the pink ledger of Living Vibrantly. I  wanted to make a list of sorts of "I  Ams" using the smaller coordinating embellishments! Here, I used the pretty black floral die cut "I    AM" from the Bits and Pieces pack for my title. I  placed pieces of foam tape underneath to add some dimension. 

How adorable are these black/white plaid and pink ledger tags? I  love that coordinating print tags are always included in the Bits and Pieces!  Here, I  layered them under my photo as well as adding bakers twine from my stash.  I  also used some of the  pieces from the 6x12 Chipboard including one of the typed "I  Am" sentiments.  

I  utilized many of the small embellishments to create my list including stickers from the 4x6 Stickers and Clear Stickers.  A few I    placed over strips of the Dreaming Big Washi Tape as well as the Butterfly Washi from the Bliss Collection. You can even spy some stamping I  did with the I  Am Roller Stamp!  

Thank you for stopping by the blog today! I  hope this inspires you to do a page or two about yourself! I  know for me, it serves as a good reminder of the many blessings in life!  Have a great day!

Who doesn't love a great travel collection? Simple Stories' has another hit with Travel Notes and today I'm sharing a layout I created documenting a fun trip to Seattle!  This line has bold colors and prints with a multitude of embellishments to choose from! Plus, many of the B side patterns can be used for just about any theme!    

The ledger print of Travelogue makes a perfect background for my page!  I  then layered contrasting prints like the navy blue/white cabana stripe of See the World behind my photos.  For my title, I  was instantly drawn to this stacked "adventure" phrase from the Bits and Pieces pack! Using a few small pop dots, I  gave my title some lift to add dimension to my layout!

​I  incorporated many of the fun patterns into my page by using a few different sizes of my circle hand punches! The small circles  found on the 4x6 Stickers were perfect to add in as accents; I  even used a pop dot on a few for added dimension! Layering some of the smaller sentiments such as the "explore" from the Bits and Pieces are a great way to add contrasting colors! And of course, the sentiment stickers are one of my favorites!

You can see more of the layered circles; a few I  added stitching around the edges with my sewing machine. The 6x12 Chipboard Sheet includes a few fun, colorful circles that were perfect to layer with my larger circles! I  also included a small journaling strip from the Bits and Pieces to stamp my date!

Hello friends! Jennifer here on the blog today! I  hope you are enjoying all of the fabulous new collections debuted at Creativation last month! I'm sharing a layout I created with the lovely Bliss!  I'm so in love with the soft colors and prints of this line!  I  had to use woodgrain print with little burst of color of Live in the Moment as my background! 

​This collection has so much beautiful goodness in the embellishments!  The black and white chipboard pieces such as the "bliss" script and butterfly are a perfect contrast to the colors! Bliss has not one, but TWO washi tapes included in the collection!  You can spy both the Butterflies and Black Speckle Dot Washi Tapes layered among the stickers and Bits and Pieces die cuts!

I  am a fan of layering my embellishments and was happy to see lots of floral clusters included in the Bits and Pieces pack! The 4x6 Stickers also have many small embellishments to accent such as the small circle stickers and the gorgeous sentiments (which have always been a long time favorite!)

Thank you for stopping by! Do you have an all time favorite Simple Stories embellishment?  Check out the entire Bliss collection by going to the Products page! Have a great day!
