I AM 100% Original & Awesome

I will often find selfies on my phone taken by my daughter (as I'm sure many of you can relate to).  Oh how I would love to print them all off and show the world how crazy she is! (but alas, I may be in her bad books for some time if I did so).  So, I chose a few that I wanted to scrapbook and came up with this layout using the I AM... collection [1]. She is one amazing kid and I love that she likes to be different than everyone.  

 

 

I used a few of the 3x4 journal boxes and cut up the word strips to use on my page because they fit perfectly. 

 

 

 I am so excited about the wood veneer that Simple Stories has come out with too. They add the perfect dimension and texture to a project.

 

 

In keeping with the dimension aspect I used some chipboard 'feathers' and added some foam dots to adhere a few stickers.

 

 

 

 

 

This past year has been busy with sports for our kids and I must admit that I didn't take my camera with me to the games.  Not because I didn't want to take pictures but more so because I just loved watching him play so much that I didn't want to be distracted by taking good photos.  I did, however, snap a few pics with my phone. They're not the greatest quality but they capture his determination and effort that he always put in to his playing.  I started with the Epic SN@P! Pack [2] and added some extra embellishments from a few different collections.

 

 

I used my Silhouette to cut out the 'fabulous' and 'awesome' words from Simple Stories at the Silhouette online store -  the words are available here [3]. 

 

 

I love the Photo Stickers because they add a bit of text and a punch of black colour to my layout.

 

I then printed my journaling onto a 6x4 journal card to keep things neat and streamlined.

 

 

I love adding texture (as I mentioned earlier) and did so by adding some foam dots to some of the die cut pieces.

 

 

I also used some brads for added interest along with a wood veneer arrow.

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today!
