I placed on the tag the amazing leaf wreath from the Every Day Story Paper Die Cuts. I stuck my photo behind the frame with 3D Foam and glued both into the frame with double-sided tape. A few Paper Die Cuts, Stickers and also again 3D Stickers Dots. 

Hello, friends! It's Jen today with two spreads in my Studio Forty travelers notebook that document my daughter's recent move to college.

For these projects, I used the following Everyday Story supplies:
• Journaling Cards

• Chipboard Stickers

• Die Cuts

• Travelers Notebook

• About Me Stickers

• Patterned Papers

• On My Desk Stamp Set

For these layouts, I decided to use the Everyday Story collection, which ended up being perfect. The papers and embellishments were a great match to my story.

The first spread features a single photo of my daughter unpacking here things in the dorm room with my journaling on the opposite page. The picture isn't the greatest, but framing her with a die cut helped put the focus on her.

The second set of pages features black and white photos that showed our trips to Target and TJ Maxx. Since we flew to Las Vegas, we had to purchase many of the larger items once we got there.

These pages use scraps of patterned papers from my stash, stickers, die cuts, and chipboard.

The paper along the bottom half of the page is great in that it features many of the items she has in her dorm.

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have been inspired to get your stories documented. If your pressed for time like I am, these are projects came together quickly and allowed me to have a bit of creative time in a very busy day.

Hello Studio Forty friends! It's Jen today with a quick spread in my Everyday Stories Journey Notebook. Sometimes I just need to be creative without worrying about creating an elaborate project, and today's layouts are just that. My schedule has been pretty hectic lately, and I haven't had as much time to craft as usual, so this one came together very quickly.

Let's take a look at what I created using elements from Everyday Stories and Herbarium.

First is this project featuring a large-print photo of a bouquet of peonies (my favorite).

After printing the large photo and fussy cutting around the edges, I cut it along the middle of the page, and adhered it over a patterned paper from the Notebook Edition Pad that I stamped with the Hello Beautiful Stamp Set.

To finish, I added journaling to the left side of the page and another stamped image and chipboard to the right corner of the photo using the Love and Relax Stamp Set and Chipboard Sticker Set.

Next is another spread featuring photos of flowers from my backyard. Again, this was a quick and simple project with minimal embellishments.

Again, I used elements from the Everyday Story collection as well as chipboard from Herbarium (found here).

Thank you for visiting today, and I hope you've been inspired to create. Remember that every project doesn't need to be time-consuming or intricate. It is important to set aside even a few minutes to craft if and when you can.
