Layouts with Simple Stories' Posh Collection

Hello and happy Saturday!  Hope you are having a good weekend! It's beautiful here in Central Illinois...we had a high in the 70's today.  Unfortunately, I spent a good chunk of it in bed since I'm still fighting pneumonia. I started steroids  this week but it doesn't seem to be helping. Chris and I are leaving for Seattle tomorrow for his work conference so I'm praying I start to feel better. It's so frustrating being sick all of the time.  

Anyway, I'm sharing layouts I created using Simple Stories' new Posh collection. I absolutely love this line...the colors are gorgeous!!  I actually used up all of my paper and had to order more!  

My first layout "Brace Face" I used a cute photo of my niece with her new braces!  I started with a background cut file from Just Nick Studio with white card stock. I then added in different patterns from the collection! 

A new embellishment for this release is washi tape!! I am loving the thinner tapes too!  

The Bits and Pieces pack has LOTS of fun shapes to use! Here, I layered some of the flowers along with a cute bird.  

I used the navy letter stickers included in the 12x12 Sticker Sheet along with more die cuts and stickers.  

The self adhesive Bradz are adorable in the center of one of the flowers!  

For my second layout, Hazel Grace" I did a grid sort of page with cute photos of our new kitten we adopted in June.  

Again, I used the navy letter stickers for my title along with chipboard and die cut pieces!  

Another new addition are roller stamps with cute sentiments!   

I love the gold foil accents on the Journaling Cards as well as the embellishments! 

Thanks for reading!  Check out the new collections on the Simple Stories Products page!  

Have a good night!

My Scraps and More: Meet Me Under the Stars

Hello!  Yesterday I had a layout up on the My Scraps and More blog using Cocoa Vanilla's Hello Lovely collection.  I am a big fan of this great Australian company! The quality of paper is awesome!   I'm looking forward to their new collections coming later this fall! 

I love this photo my sister in law took of my daughter last month at the beach on Lake Michigan.  It's not perfect but it captures the fun moment Hailey was in with sparklers and just being a kid. Using silver foil paper, I used a fun cut file for my title from Just Nick Studio.  

Showing some of the vellum hearts that are one of the embellishments from Hello Lovely.  

I love the many prints and colors in this collection....I am a big fan of layering! I also added washi tape from my stash as well as used a stamp from Technique Tuesday. 

Using my Teresa Collins Fiskars punch, I created a banner across the top of my page. I added in brads from my stash to give some dimension.  

I had a journaling spot from an old scrapbook kit and thought it matched perfectly!  

I used one of the new flair badges from Evalicious' Photo Shoot collection.

My Scraps and More: Hello Summer

It's hard to believe July is almost over!  My kiddos go back to school in a little over two weeks. I think this is the first summer I am just not ready. In June, we had so much rain and cool weather so it really hasn't seemed like summer until recently.
Today I am sharing a layout I made for My Scraps and More using Simple Stories' Summer Vibes collection. For my background, I used a cut file from Just Nick Studios!

I love the fun embellishments from Simple Stories! I layered a few of the die cuts, as well as chipboard sentiment and frame. 

I placed different patterns in random rectangles.  At the bottom of my page, I added a fun sticker as well as the coordinating Bradz and enamel dots.

Thanks for looking!  Click here for the My Scraps and More Store to see what new collections are in stock!

My Scraps and More: Cool Dude

Hello and Happy Thursday! Today on the My Scraps and More forums I have a Thursday Throwback challenge! I love using up my old stash as I tend to hold onto my favorites!  I used Crate Paper's 

Boys Rule collection which is a classic boy line!  

For my title, I used a cute cut file from Just Nick  called "All Boy".  

I still have a lot of the chipboard ephemera from Boys Rule; I adhered two above my photo, as well as added a cute badge from {a flair for buttons} and a wooden veneer star from Studio Calico. 

Thanks for stopping by today!  Check out the challenges on Facebook as well as the forums for daily inspiration!  Have a great day!
