Simple Stories and the March Sketch

April 23, 2017 1 Comment

Hello, Connie Nichol here today with a layout inspired by the March sketch from the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine sketchy gallery and products from the beautiful Simple Stories Reset Girl line. Here’s the sketch. I know I’m a month late, but hey, sketches never expire. The Sketchy Gallery has the perfect sketch for any occasion. The layout was very easy to put together. I just took pieces of patterned paper from the Reset Girl collection, rearranged them and rotated to look sort of like the March sketch and added a few stickers to finish up. I also like applying washi tape to the top and bottom of the page, it just adds a little bit of ‘extra’. Simple and done – another memory and beautiful photograph of friends is ready for the scrapbook album. Supplies Used: Simple Stories patterned paper and stickers, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L adhesive, Sakura pen. SUBSCRIBE TODAY to…

A Ghoulish Halloween with Simple Stories and Quietfire Design

October 27, 2016 No Comments

Hello, Connie Nichol here with a Halloween project featuring the Happy Haunting Collection from Simple Stories and two stamp sets from Quietfire Design. My oldest son went through the ‘ghoul’ phase when he was 9 and 10 – he wanted only to be a scary masked ghoul with a weapon. The scarier looking the weapon, the better. Sigh. Gone were the cute animal or super hero costumes. Here’s the Simple Stories mini-kit I used: This is such a great kit! Six sheets of double sided patterned paper and a 6×12 sheet of cardstock stickers is the perfect size to create a handful of Halloween layouts and cards without being overwhelmed. Here’s the Quietfire Design stamp sets I used – there are 9 stamps in the Crows set and even more in the Halloween Wicked collection! It’s nice to have so many stamps to choose from – big and little, crows facing right…
