Summertime By Cristina Sales!

Hi beautiful Simple Stories friends, Cristina here with you today to show you a new project I made with the fun and summery Summer Farmhouse collection. I made a mini album to make a gift to a lovely friend and this collection was perfect to make a ring album full of amazing designs.

I decided to make a mini album because I really like this collection and I wanted to be able to use it as much as possible. I chose a ring album that has a very versatile binding and that allows you to choose the structure of each page as you go ahead. Since most of the photos chose were made vertically I chose to make a vertical binding for 4 + 3/4 x 9 + 1/4 inches sizes.

This kind of binding is also very suitable to add page protectors and those chosen were obviously of a different size so I cut them out at the junction point of the pockets and sewed them to the photo inside to solve the issue of the side left open.

I also added some cut file with beautiful sentiment to sew them to the pockets, I really love how they turned out because that was the perfect mood I wanted to have.

This summer collection is really different than other because it is full of original designs suitable for creating summer pages but not necessarily sea-themed. Then all the papers have very high quality, It does not flake on the score or tear when you are wrong to attach
a sticker and you have to remove it. It has a high weight and has a wonderful smell, yeah I love to smell paper and the Simple Stories ones have a smell that I totally love.

I hope my project can inspire you in some way so thank you so much for joining me today and see you next time.
Bye.
