Heidi Swapp Old School meets my Memory Planner


When it comes to my Memory Planner I love mixing in different Heidi Swapp collections.  I have been inspired to use the new Old School collection clear stamps. I have a couple of new pages in my Memory Planner that I want to share with you.



I started by using the Leaf stamp from the Clear Acrylic Icon stamps on my page using some mint ink.



It was the perfect way to embellish my page.


I added some of the Old School Clear Alpha stamps to my left page also using some Mint ink.



Next I grabbed the Palm tree stamp from the Old School Icon stamp set and stamped using some lime green ink for a fun pop of colour!


I also stamped the Clear Enjoy the Now stamp onto my page as well using my mint ink for consistency on my pages.





I love these Old School Clear stamps. You can not only use them in your scrapbooking but in your planner as well!

I loved the bright and bold flower die cuts in the Enjoy the Ride collection thatI had to make a feature of them on my layout. Let me share it with you now!

 

I created a semi wreath at the bottom of my layout to from a base for my photo. 


I layered some over and under each die cut and popped up some with foam tape to create dimension.


I added a couple of the phrase die cuts to form a simple title for my layout. I am so happy with how my layout came out. It came together very quickly because everything coordinated beautifully.

Heidi Swapp Storyline Chapters - getting stories told!

I am sharing a new page in my Heidi Swapp Storyline Chapters notebook today. I am loving this way of storytelling. It is so quick and easy to create a page and get a story told. Let me share a little about my page .


I started with that spotty pattern paper from the Storyline Chapters paper pad and then added my photo towards the lower part of the page.


I trimmed two banner pieces from left over pieces pf pattern paper from the paper pad, added my typed journaling to one and stapled them to the top of my page.


I added some of the Storyline Chapters stickers and ephemera to my photo and added a tag under the photo for extra definition.

The Heidi Swapp Storyline Chapters collection is the perfect solution to get your stories told. I encourage to find this collection at your local Scrapbook store now.

Minc and Memory Planner fun!


One of the things I love to do in my Heidi Swapp Memory Planner is to create clear inserts using my Minc! I love the clear, shimmery and interactive nature that adds that something special to my planner pages. This year I am using the Art Walk Classic Planner.   Let me share my newest insert with you. 

Heidi Swapp Minc

I began by creating this printable using Keynote on my computer. I then printed it out onto some clear acetate using my laser printer. It is important that the printer used is a laser printer as it is the toner ink that reacts with the Minc foil. 
I then used some of the new Star Minc foil and ran it through my Minc.

I punched holes in the acetate and stapled a tab to the side and added it into my planner.

I love the shimmer and shine as the clear page is lifted. 


The  Clear page lifts up to reveal more photos and memories underneath.
What I love about this technique is how quick and easy it is to create a striking element to add into my planner. 
I hope you too try this technique out in your Heidi Swapp Planner too!
