Life Documented with Say Cheese, Smarty Pants and I Heart Summer

Hi everyone! Teri here today with a Life Documented project! I'm excited to share with you a couple pages I made recently with elements from Simple Stories' Say Cheese, Smarty Pants and I Heart Summer collections and Sn@p! Embellishments and Sn@p! Cards!

It's been a busy Summer around here so I've been really inspired to take a lot of pictures and document what I've been up to fairly quickly.

One of my favorite memories this Summer is the night I went to see John Mayer in concert!

I get teased a lot by my friends because I've been a fan of his for probably 10 years and have seen him a number of times in concert!

This time was extra exciting because I managed to score a ticket for Row D! I arrived at the concert to find that what I thought was a ticket in the fourth row was actuallly in the front row! Talk about exciting!

The Say Cheese collection was perfect for documenting this fun night! The "Smiles Ear to Ear" and "Happy" Sn@p! cards pretty much summarize how I felt about the whole experience!

I had a lot of great pictures from the concert, but I also wanted to include a few trinkets. The small pockets allowed me to save my ticket, as well as a sticker I picked up at the show!

Besides the concert, I've taken part in a couple 5K walk & runs! In fact, I completed two back-to-back just a few weeks ago.

Rather than creating two pages for each race, I decided to do one two-page spread with pictures from both events.

The left page highlights the first race, which I completed with my dog!

The pictures weren't the best so I embellished one of them by adding stickers on it and another by adding more embellishments along the side of the picture. I also included the red hankerchief the race organizers gave Marley, rather than including one more picture on the page.

The right page highlights the second race, which I completed late at night with a friend!

Once again, my pictures weren't the best so I took creative liberties and added letter stickers right on top of one of them!

I tried to bring both pages together by placing a 6x8 Pocket Page between them. It houses the race number for one race on one side, and my race number for the other on the other side.

I'll be using the 12x12 Sn@p! leather album in teal as the year goes on for many of my Life Documented projects! I love the color of the album, and that it has a ring binding system! Since I employ a free spirit philosophy when it comes to these pages, I dig that I can easily work on my pages for it out of order.

One of the things I love about Simple Stories' Sn@p! leather albums is you can mix and match different sizes of pages together. Sometimes, I don't want to include a 12x12 layout for one little piece fo memorabilia!
