In the spring, we went to Disney World (it was a very generous Christmas present from my in-laws). While I've traditionally scrapbooked several layouts from our trip (you can see a few of them here), I still had quite a few photos left over (some of which will probably never make it to a 12 x 12 page). I decided to use a Simple Stories Snap album to scrapbook the rest of these pictures. I purchased most of the Say Cheese line of products to use in this album - and aside from a couple sheets of older Jenni Bowlin alphabet stickers, that is all I'm using for this project.
This is the album:
It's the faux leather finish (I actually bought this half-price during an after-Christmas sale), and it reminds me of the We R Memory Keepers albums.
For the first page, I used one of the die-cut pages from the line:
For this page, I backed the die-cut card with a second 3 x 4 card for the first space. The second space on top is another 3 x 4 card. I backed my photo with a 4 x 6 card to fill the bottom (you'll see this throughout the album as I had most of my photos printed at the digital size).
For this spread, I added a few stickers on the left. The bottom photo on the right-hand page has a transparency (from the Say Cheese line) on top of the photo.
The card with the 'H" has a small brad in the middle for a bit of dimension.
On the left-hand side of this spread, I used several stickers (the alpha on top is from Jenni Bowlin). On the right, I used a die-cut page from the collection and added the white doodling.
Here you can see the back of the die-cut page. The opposite side has space for 4 x 4 photos (I trimmed mine, but this would be perfect for Instagram pics).
The blank page on the right will eventually hold a pocket with some tickets and receipts from our trip.
On the left, I adhered the photo to the page and doodled a small border around it. The right-hand side has a few more stickers from the line.
In the top-left corner, I added a brad to the middle of a 3 x 4 card. I kept the rest of this spread pretty simple.
And here's my last spread (for now!):
As you can see, I'm really trying to keep things simple here. We're going back to Disney in September, so my goal is to get this finished before then.
I also filmed a short video walking through the album. The narration on the video is how I would talk through this album to a friend, so you get a slightly different perspective on the pages. (And please excuse my voice - my allergies are acting up.)
