Storyline Chapters - telling stories about Covid 19

I am back today sharing  a new spread in my Heidi Swapp Storyline Chapters notebook that I am telling stories about Covid 19. Today I am telling the story of my husband working from home. He has been home since February, having meetings on teams, working in casual gear and running around with our kids, saving me from doing it! I am also sharing a funny story about my  sewing machine that I use for my scrapbooking... my husband  sits in his virtual meetings with the sewing machine in the background... he often gets teased about this so I had to use that as my title! Let me share a bit more about my spread.

I began by printing off my photo 7.5 x 9, rounding the corner and adhering to the left page in my Heidi Swapp Storyline Chapters insert. I then trimmed the ledger paper pattern paper form the paper pad to fit my page. I placed the paper into my typewriter and added in my journaling.  

I added stickers directly onto my photo from the Storyline Chapters sticker booklets.

I then added letter stickers, washi and stickers all from the Storyline Chapters collection to embellish my page. I love the way it turned out.

My Storyline Chapters notebook about Covid is definitely filling up with the the many stories of this year. It will be amazing to look back in years to come to remember all the little stories that made up the big story of 2020!

You can find this collection at your local JoAnn store now!

                                                               

Hello its Art Walk

I am adding to my travel album today using the perfect vintage paper collection - Art Walk from Heidi Swapp.  It is the perfect way to add some colour and sophistication to any project as well as a touch of sparkle with some Minc shine in there as well.

I started by printing off that 9x12 photo and used the Hello die and pattern paper from the Art Walk collection as my title.

I added a couple of 6x12 pocket pages. The 4x6 pocket was filled with pattern paper from the 6x8 Art Walk paper pad and then the Chipboard Thickers also from the collection form part of my title.

I love filling the pockets with photos and then adding stickers from the Art Walk Sticker sheet on top of the photos for simple embellishments.

I added my journaling to another 4x6 piece of pattern paper taken from the 6x8 paper pad.

To create the clear pocket I used one of the Art Walk stencils and some white Minc texture paste on a transparency. I then ran it through my Minc with some of the Gold Minc Honeycomb foil. I love the effect it created.

The Windmills with Old School

I don't think I have loved a collection more in a long time than the Heidi Swapp Old School collection. It is the perfect combination of old school glamour, grunge and beach all rolled into one. It was begging to be used in these photos of our time in Mykonos visiting the Old Windmills. 

I especially loved the soft pink pops of color that I have spread through my pages. The Ephemera pack and sticker sheet has  an eclectic group of images and phrases that can be used for a variety of stories.

I printed this photo at 9 x 12 and added one of the Definition stickers and a few stickers straight on to the photo.

I then added in a piece of transparency that I used as my title. I added the Old School Thickers and a few more stickers above and below the title for embelishments.

For  my pocket page I used some of the pattern paper to create my bases. I then added on stickers and Ephemera to embellish. 

 

I typed up my journaling onto the 3 x 4 piece of pattern paper and added another piece of Ephemera.

I am love with this vacation spread anda I can't wait to create my next project with the Old School collection.
