Simple Stories Fun in the Sun!

Hi bloggers! Happy Saturday to you! I'm pleased to bring you a sweet & fun scrapbook layout by Ashley Stephens featuring Simple Stories products! Below, Ashley tells us a bit more about her inspiration behind the page and how she made it. Enjoy!


The die cut trend is still going strong, and, while I still love my Cameo, you can't beat when someone does the work for you! That's why I love these Simple Stories die cut Sn@p! pages- they're cute and they require zero extra work! 

I started with the die cut sheet and layered my photos directly on top. Then, I chose my favorite pieces from the I {Heart} Summer line and tucked them here and there. The Bingo card, the 'b' side of a journaling card- it's just a matter of picking out what you like and balancing the pieces evenly. Layering is a great way to use papers, patterns, and elements you love and adds a lot of cute little details.

I also fussy cut a few things from the 3x4 Journaling Card Elements sheet, like the glasses and the journaling spot. 

I used various stickers and brads from the line. I really love the small sayings that come in the collection kit, like this "bike rides" sticker. It's tiny (which, in itself, is enough to make it cute) and it fits in almost anywhere.

The colors in I {Heart} Summer are adorable and work well with just about any subject. I'm already dreaming up invitations to a barbeque!

Check out some close up detail shots:
