Life Documented with I {Heart} Summer

 

Hello Simple Stories Scrappers! It's Nichol here today sharing a recent Life Documented layout featuring mostly I {Heart} Summer with a little Sn@p Life Collection thrown in for variety!

One of my favorite things about the Simple Stories Collections is how well they mix and match with each other giving the artisit the ability to create completely customized Life Documented pages tailored for you to record your memories. I began my page with I {Heart} Summer Sn@p Cards and Elements and added in the Sn@p Life Cards that fit my specific memories, photographs and overall design.

For my Life Documented page spread today I chose to mix up the Pocket Pages I'm using and went with two different designs for the left and right sides of my layout and I really love the result. The variety of pocket designs makes customizing your pages so easy and FUN!

For the left side of my layout I used Pocket Page Design 5:

One of my favorite ways to customize the Simple Stories Cards is to add stamping using my stash of stamps and/or to add a bit of computer generated or handwritten journaling. This week was a computer journaling kind of week. ;) I love the "Sunshine & Happiness This Way" Card from the I {Heart} Summer Sn@p Cards and it made the perfect title card for this weekly page spread.

I had a lot more journaling this week than photos and this days of the week Sn@p Card was the perfect place to record all that information! I love the idea of a week in review card tucked in between the daily memories and mementos!

For the right side of the page I used Pocket Page Design 4:

I incuded a couple of 4x6 photos on this side of the layout along with a great Sn@p Card from the I {Heart} Summer Collection that has lots of fun summertime text! This is a great "filler" card that added a pop of color, helps tell the story and is just plain fun! I added a touch of dark grey stamping above and below the printed text of the card to customize it just for me. 

One of my favorite things to use are tiny tiny word and/or phrase stickers and Simple Stories has lots of fun ones in their many collections! I love adding these stickers directy to some photos for a completely new and fun look!

I'm using the Green Sn@p! Leather 12x12 Album for my 2013 Life Documented Layouts. I love the rich, vibrant colors of the Sn@p! Albums , the beautiful stitching, bookplates on the spines and reinforced corners. These are truly gorgeous albums to showcase and protect your precious memories.

I used the Sn@p! 12x12 Pocket Pages Design 4 (4x6 | 3x4) and Design 5 (2x12| 4x6 | 3x4) for my pages.

Wow - love your style...and loving all those bright summer cards. Can the general public purchase them? I didn't see any prices or "add to cart" when I looked in the store.

That's the kind of image that i really thing is super image like. If more images very real like this were out there we'd be super full of graet images in the world.
