This coming Saturday is National Scrapbook Day. I have not been the best at EVER even getting one scrapbook completed BUT I do love doing it. What I have found to be a great solution is to scrapbook cards and mini books as gifts and memories from events. I had the pleasure of meeting the folks from Simple Stories when I was at Disney Land after CHA in January. When I received a package from Tombow last week with products from Simple Stories, I flipped out. It was the highlight of the day for sure. To kick off the week in preparation for National Scrapbook Day on Saturday, I created these darling projects with the items that were in that package and some of my favorite things from Tombow too. Being an ambassador for Tombow rocks!!! I used the Carpe Diem Collection and you can grab it HERE on Amazon.
I used the scrapbook papers and cut them up to create a new cover for my binder. I keep EVERYTHING in my binder…schedules, calendars, recipes, notes to self, etc. To get the papers to stick together, I used Tombow’s MONO Permanent Adhesive Runner.
If you are wondering about that dariling flower die-cut, I made it with my Sizzix die that I designed!!! I love being a Sizzix designer and get so happy when I use the ones I created in projects.
The stickers are so darling that I decided to make a set of notes to send to my friends with them. I took a TON of photographs at SNAP Conference so plan to print some and send them with these darlings to my blogging buddies.
This one is my fave and I am writing it FIRST! I am so thankful that the snow melted, the sun came out and it is warm enough to sit outside on the patio and write letters. I love to write letters with my MonoTwin black marker because it has two awesome tips and I love to add hand lettering fun to what I do.
I love that I can keep it all in the bag that they gave me in January when I visited them at the show!
YAY!!!!
Cheers to Creating with Paper and Adhesives,
Laura
