Heidi Swapp Minc + Storyline Chapters

I am still working away in My Heidi Swapp Storyline Chapters notebook that captures all the memories of Covid 19. I am using the Scrapbooking insert. Today I want to share a new double page spread using elements from the Storyline Chapters collection and some of the new Minc foil- the iridescent blue. Isn't it spectacular.

The blue changes colour as it moves in the light. I love the different shades it gives.

On the left I used one of the pages from the Storyline Chapters paper pad. I ran it through my typewriter to add my journaling and then used stickers from the collection to add some embellishments.

I then took one of the Minc butterflies and ran it through my Minc machine with some of the blue Iridescent foil. I folded up the wings of the butterfly for some added dimension and shadow.

I added more of the Storyline Chapters stickers to each of my photo for extra subtle texture to my page.

You can find all the supplies for this project at JoAnn stores right now.

Heidi Swapp Toner ink in my travel album


I am still enjoying pulling together my European vacation album. It is almost 12 months since we had the trip of a life time and today I want to share the memory of our visit to the Leonardo Da Vinci museum in Venice. I have combined the Heidi Swapp Art Walk collection with the Minc for some gorgeous gold touches.

I began by creating this word art on my computer using a quote I found online by Leonardo Da Vinci.  I printed it off onto vellum using my laser printer and then ran it through my Minc machine with some Gold Minc Foil. I then trimmed it to 4x4 and placed it into the pockets of the 8x8 pocket page.

I slipped some trimmed Art Walk pattern paper behind the vellum to help the gold letters pop and then added my title using a brochure from the museum and some of the art Walk black letter stickers.

The back reveals more photos and journaling on the brochure.

I used the fun Tim Holtz Professor stamp with some of the new Heidi Swapp Toner Ink on vellum. Once dry I ran it through the Minc machine with more gold foil. Using the Toner ink with your stamps is really a game changer for me!

I added some of the Art Walk Definition Stickers on each photo for pattern and repetition. I love the it  it looks.

You can find the Heidi Swapp Art Walk collection and Minc collection at your local JoAnn store!

Mother's Day in my Storyline Chapters insert

Due to Covid 19, Mother's Day looked a little different this year. In Australia we were able to have a picnic with family so we took advantage of the beautiful weather here in Brisbane and visited a local beach and enjoyed our picnic. I wanted to commemorate the day in my Heidi Swapp Covid 19 Storyline Chapters insert. Let me share what I did.

I began with the Scrapbook insert and enlarged a photo to fill an entire page. I then trimmed a piece of the Storyline Chapters pattern paper from the 7x 9 paper pad and adhered it to the opposite page.

I inked some of the raw Chipboard letter stickers from the collection with some of the Pink Ink and adhered my title down, adding some stamping and stickers also from the collection to compete my page.

On the enlarged photo I added one of the rainbow stickers from the 6x12 sticker sheet and the who what and where from the 12 x 12 paper pad.

I created a hidden journaling pocket behind the pattern paper and used one of the tags  from the Storyline Chapters Ephemera to write my journaling.
