Inspiration du Jour | Spring Chalk

I chose to feature Spring Chalk by Stephanie Buice because of the soft colors and the vertical layout of the page. And also because my son and I love sidewalk chalk!

Tidbits about Stephanie:

How long have you been scrapping? I’ve been scrapping forever in some way or another, even as a little girl I would get into trouble for cutting up my parents pictures. However I got seriously into it in 2001 when I got a kit to document my senior year of high school.

Paper or digi? (or both?) I’m a traditional scrappy but I will incorporate a print and cut here and there onto my page.

What is your favourite scrapboooking supply? My favorite scrapbooking supply right now would have to be my paints and mists. I have been giving my Distress Stain Daubers lots of love lately, they make it so easy to add that painted look without all the extra mess.

Where do you find inspiration? I find most of my inspiration by watching TV, so many times I’ll find myself saying “Ooo look at that font” or “That would be awesome for title placement”. My husband laughs, but he has now started pointing them out on his own haha.

If you love Stephanie’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.
