Happy Campers | Storyteller Collection | Michelle Stokes
Hello Hello! It’s Michelle here today with another instalment of our current story telling feature. I’ve used our beautiful Storyteller Collection for this layout that documents a big step in Leila’s school life – School Camp. Even though she might have been super anxious in the lead up to going away, Leila and her mates certainly enjoyed themselves while there.
I started off by cutting out some large clip boards from CUT to YOU to use as a place to ‘clip’ my photos. I used both sides of the DITSY DAISY paper to cut both the outline and the background of the boards and adhered the pieces together, leaving the ‘clip’ piece free to tuck in all the pieces they’re holding.
I added all 3 clipboards to a piece of the CROSS IT OFF paper, using pieces of foam sheets to give them a little pop off the page before adding all the other elements that I’ll share below.
I used 2 photos from the campers send off, both featuring friends that Leila’s had since Prep and even Kinder.
On the left side clip board I’ve layered the photo with a pocket page card, pieces cut from the cut apart sheet STORY TIME plus some fussy cut florals from the SPRING FLING paper in both 12×12 and A5 size
Over on the right I’ve added the 2nd photo layered on top of a folded card that’s hiding the written journalling. It’s not hidden for any other reason other than I wrote more than I expected and I couldn’t make it work tucked into the other clipboard. I added more of the same elements over this side as I did on the left clip board to keep things cohesive across the entire layout.
I used a simple piece of notepaper ripped from a book to write the journalling, adhered it between 2 pocket page cards then machine stitched top and bottom for a little extra detail.
On the middle clipboard I’ve added the title using another CUT to YOU cutfile cut out of the green A5 version of LITTLE LOVE, layered over the journalling spot from the cut apart paper STORY TIME with the addition of an accessory sticker from an older collection.
Along the tops of the clip boards I added some WOODEN BUTTONS to act as thought the boards are ‘pinned’ to the woodgrain background (CROSS IT OFF)
I added the twine along the tops and glued it into place using some tacky glue that dries clear. Theres also a sprinkling of both gold and white inks around the layout to finish it all off.
Here’s another look at the entire layout..
Well friends, thats all from me today. Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing my version of our story telling theme, it’s certainly been a fun one to create. Please be sure to share your own versions within our facebook community group HERE
Until next time, Happy Scrapping!
