Hello friends! I hope you're having a great week. Today, I'm sharing a layout I created using the Essentials Collection and a few Just Lovely Stickers I had in my stash. I'm always trying to find new and fun ways to use up my stickers.

I used a metal die tag to create a tag from a journaling card. I wanted to pull some of that blue into the layout from the "Be Happy" sticker. Next, I placed the favorite photo sticker from the Essentials Words below the hole.

The width fits perfectly across the square photo. I used a piece of string from new clothing. Never throw them out! They work great for tags and they are free. :) Stretch those supplies.

I got creative with my stickers and created the fun photo corners for the photo. I cut the ends of the sticker frames off using scissors.

It's cute, right!? I love making my stickers work for me.

To add dimension to some of the Just Lovely Stickers, I used foam squares to pop them up off the photos. 

I really like the design of this layout. It's a little different for me. I don't normally cut my photos this way, but it totally works for the theme of this layout!

I added a few sticker dots, too. Love these little guys!

Hello, friends! I'm excited to share my adventures with you! I finally got out to Colorado to visit my sister  and we saw all the things! Edward and I had such a great time and we took lots of photos!

I used a collage of photos for the cover of the album and added the summer "travel" sticker to the center. The "sightseeing" label was cut from a patterned paper.

Before I started putting together this mini, I fussy cut a variety of elements from the Essentials Summer paper to save myself some time. I used the "Road Trip" transparent Sticker from the Be Ready Stickers to fill in the white space.

I didn't do much with this journaling card... I just wanted to leave it as is. I guess I'm not too busy after all. LOL

I printed a collage of photos to mount on the journaling card and added a few stickers from the Summer Sweet Essentials Summer stickers.

I love the transparent stickers because it looks like the sentiment was stamped on the photo...and it's not. I'm always afraid to stamp directly over my photos because if I make a mistake, the photo is ruined soooo, transparent stickers are a must for me!

I really love the print on this journaling card. It looks so pretty with the red rock from the picture. It just pops!

I kept this page simple... I used the mountain transparent sticker from the Summer Stories stickers and added the color sticker. 

I used a lot of stickers throughout this mini which makes me happy! I love being able to use up my stash and they make great mini albums!

I had fun with this journaling card. I added a variety of die cuts and stickers to help tell my story.

You see, sometimes...a little goes a long way! 

What do you think? Aren't the pictures beautiful? It was an amazing trip and I enjoyed making this little mini album for my sister. It's small, but mighty! Don't forget to check out the Essentials Summer Collection and used coupon code nicole10 to save 10% on your order.
