So Very Lucky

Hello there to all you amazing Simple Stories fans! 

Cari [1] here with you sharing this layout that I created for today in honour of St. Patrick's Day. As you will notice my photos have nothing to do with St. Patty's Day. However, the theme and embellishments of the A Charmed Life [2] collection make this layout still fit so perfectly with today's fun holiday! The colour green, shamrocks and the word 'lucky' is clearly evident everywhere in this collection.

I did a fair bit of layering with the patterned papers -

This really is a fun collection and I just love how everything matches so wonderfully.

I used the 12x12 Expression Cardstock Stickers [3] & Fundamental Cardstock Stickers [4] to create my title and various phrases/words in other places on my layout. You will notice that the 3x4 journal card has a small pennant design along  the top edge. I took an x-acto knife and cut out the bottom section of the pennant so that it would overlap onto the 12x 2 title strip.

By adding small pieces of foam tape behind some of the stickers which helps to give my layouts some dimension rather than being so 'flat'-looking.

I also used some of the DIY Collection [5]. The DIY Clear Stickers (black), DIY Enamel Dots (yellow & green), and DIY Journal Layers (in Kraft).   I printed my journaling off on the kraft colored DIY journal tag and adhered a brad from the same collection (A Charmed Life) to give it a final touch.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope that I've inspired you to create with this fabulous Simple Stories [6]collection!
