My First Simple Stories Album

I know you all know how much I love Simple Stories. I have loved everything about them.  All of their products from binders to paper, and bradz to enamel dots.  The very first Sn@p music video I ever saw, I fell in love with the Sn@p System.  In the commercial the cute girl threw together a quick album in a snap. (Hence the name Sn@p). I was super impressed that something so simple could come together so quickly, but I had actually never made an album. 

A week ago that all changed. My daughter is away from our family for the next 18 months and wanted a photo album with pictures of family and friends. She wanted something she could have with her when she is missing us. 

I checked out the Simple Stories Sn@p 4x6 album sold by Allscrapbooksteals.com. I bought the Teal 4x6 Album and a variety package of sheet protectors, and a package of 4x6 sheet protectors.  Next, I picked out some papers and embellishments from the "So Fancy" collection.  I thought that I would only use the 4x6 sheet protectors, but I was so wrong. I used everyone of those variety package sheet protectors and the variety ones that came in the album. They really add character to your project. 

Then, I sat down on Monday Night to start putting this album together. I really expected to spend about 5 or 6 hours on it. Two hours later, I had a completed album that was absolutely darling. It turned out way better than I ever pictured it in my head. It held so many pictures. Not only that, it was so much FUN and SUPER EASY. I loved my album so much that I thought I would share it with all of you. 

In this album, I not only included pictures of the family, but inspirational quotes, and a letter from me written just to my sweet daughter Ashley. I hope that it brings her comfort and that she feels all the love that was put into making it for her. It was truly a labor of love.  Happy Crafting!!! Jacqueline

Loved the enamel dots and the gold foil on the "So Fancy" Papers

4x4 cards came in super handy. I also liked the white on the teal blue polka dots. 

The gold photo stickers were perfect to add a cute title to the pictures.

I used the Photo Crops 4064. I would place the photo crop on the picture where I wanted to cut, then just cut around. It came out perfect everytime. 

What can I say PHOTO CROPS are AMAZING!!!

I wanted to have inspirational quotes throughout the album.

Good times. :-)

Crate Paper Journey

Crate Paper always has a fun style that is all their own. Their new collection "Journey" is just as beautiful and unique as their previous lines. I love to see what ideas the designers for these manufacturers come up with.

I found this cute little bag on Crate Papers blog. It was made to store a child's precious "treasure". This cute custom "treasure bag" is so fun and stylish that I wanted to share it with all of you. This is something that I could have definitely used when my children were small. This would be great to hold all of their "treasures" that ended up in the pockets of their clothes and consequently my washer if I didn't catch them first.

Check out "Journey" and all other "crafting treasures" at Allscrapbooksteals.com!!! Happy Crafting!!! Jacqueline (photos courtesy of Crate Paper)

Back to School in Style with Doodlebug

I know we are all enjoying these relaxing days of summer. There is no fight to get the kids up and ready for school, but the first day of school will be here before we know it. Doodlebug's new line "Back to School" moves to the head of the class. This line just makes me think of new school school supplies, clean notebooks, and the anticipation of a new year filled with possibilities. I thought that it would be fun to show you some A+ projects from Doodlebug's blog. Be a star student and check out Doodlebug's "Back to School" today at Allscrapbooksteals.com. Happy Crafting!!!

Not only are they a little bit bigger to allow for a border on these 4x4 squares of paper, but there is NO SANDING needed. They are ready to go. We thought we would share one of our block kits with you. This block kit comes from one of our favorite Simple Stories lines, "Say Cheese II".  The gold foil helps make these blocks super impressive.
