Hello Simple Stories fans, Layle here with you today :) If you haven't changed your clocks to 'spring forward', here's your reminder :)
You may remember last year back in June and then again in January when I introduced you to a super talented designer - Julie Johnson.
Well, I've invited Julie back again this month and I'm absolutely thrilled to share another one of her amazing mini albums she created for one of her March kits, this time with our A Charmed Life collection! A Charmed Life is the perfect collection to 'spring forward' with it's fresh, springy pallette!
Here are some shots of her 'springy' minibook, prepared to be WOWED!
Here are all of the inside pages -
AMAZEBALLS - am I right?!!
She also created this fun two page layout with plenty of room for LOTS of photos -
Pretty awesome, right?! Every time I see one of Julie's creations with our products, my jaw literally drops. She's one talented lady!
Julie has graciously offered one of our readers her A Charmed Life mini album kit - everything you need to put together a gorgeous mini album of your very own! Enter via the Rafflecopter widget below and on the 13th we'll be back here to announce the random lucky winner!

Posted by: Mar-Lyn | March 10, 2014 at 11:24 PM
FABULOUS mini & layouts!!!
LOVE the colours of A Charmed Life ... it makes me feel like a bit of a rebel too, because when I was growing up we were told that "blue and green should never be seen without a colour in between", so the yellow and pop of white make it PERFECT to me :)
My favourite today is the cover of the mini, it is FILLED with FUN, LOVE the pinwheel & flower and ALL of the pretty layers on top & peeking out from the pages underneath!!!
THANK YOU for the inspiration!!!
