Inspiration du Jour | Mom & Me

I chose Mom & Me by Mary Ann Jenkins because of the recent celebration of Mother’s Day, and also because I am a sucker for butterflies on a page! I love the retro photo too, and it’s quite fitting for Throwback Thursday

Tidbits about Mary Ann:

How long have you been scrapping? Since 1987, so 27 years

Paper or digi? (or both?) Paper

What is your favourite scrapboooking supply? My favorite scrapbooking supply would be patterned papers, I love them, and you can never have too many 😉

Where do you find inspiration? I find inspiration many places, from scrapbooking websites to a commercial on TV. A certain color combo or pattern can give me an idea for a new layout.

If you love Mary Ann’s style you can see more on her blog.

Andrea used the Fun Times collection from Simple Stories to create this fabulous mini Travel Tag album. She even found a cute tiny plastic suitcase to fit it inside of, decorating the outside with a few chipboard elements and a scalloped border.

The album itself has different siezd and shaped pages, some rectangle, some tag shaped, some with scalloped edges but all stitched around the edges. It’s held together at the top with a metal “O” ring.

The pages have 3″ x 2 1/2″ photos that are accented with metal buttons, vintage cameras, floral and map papers, chipboard embellishments, tabs, labels and travel related designs in fun retro color combinations.

She’s even included some fun interactive pages too for a really cool tiny but mighty album design.

Learn more and check out the entire project over at the Simple Stories blog.
