Hello, everyone! Melissa here today to welcome you to the Simple Stories & 3L Blog Hop! We’re so excited to team up with 3L and use their amazing line of adhesives to share some inspiring projects with you this week. 3L is also posting projects using Simple Stories products this week, so be sure to head over to their blog and check it out!
3L produces two of my very favorite adhesive products, and one of them is key to getting the journaling printed on my cards! I'll share more on that in a minute, but first I want to start things off with a look at my Life Documented layout using the new Everyday Sn@p set.
I'm often asked how I print on my journaling cards, and I've actually filmed a video showing how if you're interested in learning more. One thing that's crucial to the process is a good temporary adhesive, and my favorite choice for that is the Repositionable Dots EZ Runner by Scrapbook Adhesives. It lets me temporarily adhere the journaling cards to a carrier sheet to run through the printer, and the adhesive is easy to simply brush off with my fingers before slipping the finished card into a Pocket Page.
I also love 3L's 3D Foam Squares, especially the thinner ones. They're great for making your own layered embellishments, and the thinner squares let you add just a bit of dimension to a Life Documented layout without having to worry about the page getting too bulky. You can see in the photo below how I used the foam squares along with stickers from the Sn@p sets and circles punched from scraps of Simple Stories paper to make a pair of fast and easy layered embellishments.
To see more projects using our SN@P! Sets, visit our SN@P! Sets Pinterest board -
The supplies for this particular Life Documented layout include my trusty 12x12 Sn@p Faux Leather Album in Teal along with Design 3 Pocket Pages (I use the same design every week just to make my life easier!), and of course stickers and journaling cards from the Everyday Sn@p Set.
Leave us a comment on what you like about 3L adhesives and we’ll draw a random lucky winner at the end of a week for a fun prize from 3L!
Thanks for joining us today for the Simple Stories & 3L Blog Hop. Check back with us tomorrow for more inspiration using 3L products!

I have to get one of these sets and get to scrapbooking. I don't usually scrapbook because I run out of ideas before I get very far into the book. I could fill these pages since I don't have to think up a lot of fussy decorations. thanks for sharing.

Awesome pages, and loved that video! I am going to try printing out my journaling like this! Love the new SNAP cards, and the 3L foam squares are my go-to for popping up items exactly for the reason you state: not too thick! Don't like bulky stuff in my albums!
Posted by: Kathy P | October 23, 2013 at 05:53 PM
What pretty Life Documented pages! I love that 3L adhesives are easy to use and I love the variety.
Posted by: Robin B. | October 23, 2013 at 06:14 PM
I do the same trick for printing computer journaling! I love how the temporary glue on the 3L temporary roller peels right off!
Posted by: Memoriesbymanda | October 23, 2013 at 06:34 PM

I too love the Repositionable Dots EZ Runner by Scrapbook Adhesives because it can be used to attach almost anything temporarily.
Posted by: justasiam | October 23, 2013 at 08:39 PM

I am making Snap Albums for my Daughter's and Daughter in law for Christmas this year. I am decorating everything and all they will have to do thru out the year is to put in their pictures and journal. I am using the Repositionable Dots Runner on these projects because they can remove the embellis from the paper I have typed place picture here and then add their picture and re-place the embellies.. This is just what I needed for this project!
