Layouts Share – Ali Edwards “Fun” Story Kit

I’m sharing a few more layouts that I completed in 2017, all using the Ali Edwards “Fun” Story Kit & Story Stamp. I’m ashamed to admit that I have many many as yet unused kits and stamps. One of my memory keeping goals for this year is to start making use of them and getting stories told. I’d be super proud if I could work with one kit per month, as well as the new kits that I’ll be receiving with my subscription this year. We’ll see how that goes.

The papers and extra embellishments for these layouts all came from old Studio Calico Scrapbook kits that I’ve had stockpiled for way too long and am finally starting to make use of.

 

Yes to Fun

This was a pretty quick and simple layout. I journalled by hand which is something I’m not always keen on doing. Like many people, I just don’t like the way that my handwriting looks. But I know it’s important for me to include it every now and then.

 

Am I Fun

I ummed and ahhed about the title on this. I had initially planned on it being “I Am Fun” but at the time wasn’t really feeling that particular story so I ended up switching it around. It’s good to go a bit deeper with journalling sometimes.

 

 

YAY 

I really love everything about this layout. It’s super cute to look at and a super cute story. Definitely need more like this.

I Want To Remember: Part 3

Life with Lee

I want to remember how much I truly love this wonderful man.
 
I want to remember how hard it was to be away from him for the two nights I was in hospital and how happy I was to be in his arms and be sleeping by his side again when I came home.
 
I want to remember how much my heart has swelled watching him become a father again.
 
I want to remember how wonderful he has been with Violet these last few weeks.
 
I want to remember how much he has sacrificed to be here with me, making a family together.
 
I want to remember that I feel stronger and more able to tackle life when he is by my side.
 
I want to remember all of the things that he does around the house and let go of the the things that take him a little longer to get to.
 
I want to remember that although there have been rough patches in our relationship so far, and that there will no doubt be more rough patches to come, my life is infinitely better with him in it. And that working through those rough patches will always be worth it.
 
I want to remember how happy I was when he proposed and how excited I am to be marrying him.
 
I want to remember how much he can make me laugh, and to allow myself to laugh with him more often.
 
I want to remember for us to have fun together. To not always be serious.
 
I want to remember to make time for him.
 
I want to remember to make sure that the things that I say and do show him how special he is to me and how much I value him and everything that he has bought to my life.
 
I want to remember to show him how much I love him and to make sure that he knows that he has my whole heart.

Recent(ish) Layouts Share

While tidying up my study / craft room I came across a folder of layouts that I had completed mid-2017 and not yet done anything with. One of my goals for 2018 is to work on more traditional scrapbook layouts and to use my Ali Edwards story subscriptions more consistently to get my stories told. I’m hoping that as part of that process I will also start sharing my work online so that it doesn’t spend the majority of it’s life tucked away in an album on a shelf that rarely gets looked at!

These were all put together using old Studio Calico kits that I’ve had in my stash for a very very long time and am now trying to start using.

Living It Up

I really love the way the photo grid turned out on this. I could have just created the grid in photoshop and printed the whole thing out but I wanted the added dimension of having each photo individually stuck down. The white ink under the journalling didn’t work out the way I had hoped it would. I was planning on journalling straight onto it in pen but I used the wrong kind of ink and it just wouldn’t dry enough to be able to write on so I ended up using my typewriter and going with some strip journalling instead.

 

Celebrate

This one was really clean and simple. When I first looked at the bird paper in the kit I didn’t know how I would use it so wanted to challenge myself a little bit. 

 

Surprise

This layout uses the large acrylic “Surprise” word from an Ali Edwards story kit. A good surprise of course!

I am so happy to be sharing my latest project with you today for the CUT to YOU Design Team. When I saw this graph based cut file I knew it would be perfect for documenting my son's first day at his new early learning program. I love the symbolic representation of him setting off on his journey of learning and growth.

I hope you enjoy!

I'm back with another project for #maggieholmesmonday! I'm playing with the gorgeous Marigold collection again to document a set of photos of my funny and amazing little girl.
This is actually a scraplift of one of my own previous layouts which was very boy themed. I loved the design so much I wanted to recreate it with a softer and more girly feel.

I hope you enjoy!

My latest project for the @cut_to_you Design Team My latest project for the @cut_to_you Design Team is now live over on my YouTube channel. I used the Onward and Upward cut file with some bright and bold products from Gossamer Blue that I've been hoarding to document my son's first day at his new Early Learning Program. I just love the way that the graphic cut file represents the journey of growth and learning he has started. ⠀⁠
