Spring is popping up all around us! The Simple Vintage Botanicals collection is perfect to capture some of those moments of spring. Nicole here today to share a project that I made using this pretty collection.

First, I pulled out some of the chipboard frames from the collection and secured my photos behind both. I added some detail by running the chipboard frames through my sewing machine. I added some dimensional foam adhesive to the back of each photo to ensure they popped off the page.

Next, I diecut some larger butterflies from some patterned paper and adhered each beside both photos, adding in a journaling card to fill in the open area.

I trimmed out small pieces of the watercolour palette paper and adhered each piece along the edge of the main patterned paper in the center of the page, adding some machine stitching to hold it all in place. I truly enjoyed creating this layout and working with this new Botanicals collection and hope you love it!

Good morning Simple Stories fans! Nicole here today to share a project using the new Crafty Girl collection, released at 2018 Creativation just a few weeks ago!

I was inspired by so many things in this cheerful collection! I just love the fun mix of bright colors and had to use a lot on my project. I started with the awesome rainbow patterned paper and then added some smaller strips along each side of the page, including using some of the washi tape from the Crafty Girl collection along the right side of the page. 

I couldn't help but use the Crafty Girl as part of my title too, so I had the chance to scrap a page about some of my favorite crafty peeps that I have the priviledge of knowing! So perfect to document those relationships in our lives, right?

I absolutely love the  Live.Love.Create paper and had the urge to fussy cut out a ton of flowers and vines to embellish my project. A little bit of hard work goes a long way! I love how they brighten up the white on white diecut background I added using my digital cutter and file from Justnick.

Good morning Simple Stories fans! I am excited to share a fun project using the new Life is Ruff simple set! We got a new puppy this past year, so this simple set is perfect to document a few photos of our new addition Chase!

I was inspired by the Ruff Ruff paper in the collection - all those fun word bubbles were just meant to be fussy cut out! I decided to cut a title for my page from a design from the Silhouette store and then added in a lot of fussy cut word bubbles to finish off the page!

I tried to mix up all the different colors and direction of the word bubbles as I went along the page, popping some up with foam adhesive and adhering some just as is!

I couldn't resist adding in some of the dog icons from the cardstock sticker sheet in the simple set - they mixed so well in with the fussy cut word bubbles! I popped up some of those too along the way.
