The Scrapbook Store | Simple Stories ...

Hello Friends!! Sorry for my absence of late.  I have been spending time with my family over the Easter School holidays.  :)  Hopefully I will be back on track soon with my creativity!!  *grin*

Today however, I have a scrappy share for the The Scrapbook Store.  In this month's kit, I have the gorgeous Simple Stories - Urban Traveler collection to work with.   

 "Canberra"
 
products used: pp - Simple Stories Urban Traveler; alpha - Simple Stories Urban Traveler; other - Simple Stories Urban Traveler sn@p pockets, decorative brads; October Afternoon sprinklers mist (twilight); tools - machine stitching, black pen (sharpie).
 
This photo is from our big camping trip holiday in 2011.  Liam had an amazing time in Canberra.  It was his favourite stop on our holiday.  Most probably because of the War Memorial.  He was really fascinated with the place.  I have used one of the Simple Stories Sn@p pockets to house a quote he gave me not long after we got home...  I simply created a tag from the ledger patterned paper to fit into the pocket and then typed his message directly onto the paper.


I also love the map patterned paper (orange stripes/map) from this collection and even though it is a map of Europe, I still like the message of traveling it relays.  The stickers on the alpha sheet (cardstock stickers - Expressions) are also a fun accessory to add interest to the page.


If you would like to get your hands on your own Simple Stories Urban Traveler collection, visit The Scrapbook Store to stock up.  :)  Thanks for visiting..x
