Life Documented using Simple Stories The Simple Life by Kerryn Fry

Hi everyone!
Today I am sharing my second page created with the 
beautiful collection, Simple Stories The Simple Life.
Love the subtle colour palette in these papers.

The photo is a rare selfie I took on a 
weekend away while researching my ancestry.
This town has a great significance for me
as the name is the same as my daughter's.


The background is a clean 12x12
I've only one main piece of patterned paper,
love the stripes from Happy Together paper.
Under the photo I have layered is two 
4x6 Element mats, slightly angled 
to show each pattern, but hiding any words.
I have added a stitched border to each 
layer with a gold pen and the two tags 
are from the Journal Bits Die Cuts.


In the top right corner of the page I have 
used the barcode strip of Happy Together
and added a journal bit with a hand cut flower
from the Beautiful Chaos paper.
Both the journal bit and flower have been 
lifted with foam tape for dimension.
I have also added a highlight to the 
centre of the flower with a gold pen.


On the right side of the photo I have used the 
'Today' journal card from the Journal Elements paper.
I have raised the card with foam tape and
embellished it with hand cut butterflies 
from Our Story paper and one of the 
hand cut 'Houses' from a 4x6 Journal card.


The left side of the photo is embellished with
layers of pieces from the Journal Bits Die Cuts.
I have added 3 different sizes of jounaling pieces,
raising two of the with foam tape.
I added highlight details using the gold pen
and added more hand cut butterflies.


Just under the journal elements I have add more 
hand cut flowers from the Beautiful Chaos paper,
raising them with foam tape and adding gold details.


Across the base of the page I have made use 
of the barcode strips from Our Story and Beautiful Chaos 
to create the base for this smaller embellishment cluster.

I've then added the remaining hand cut houses
 from the 4x6 Elements, a journal bit for the date 
and another hand cut flower all lifted with foam tape.
I've used the gold pen to highlight each house
and the centre of the flower.


At the base of the photo I have added 
two more of the barcode strips, punched with a scallop edge,
from Beautiful Chaos and the 4x6 Elements papers.

The 2 Crafty title Life Documented has been covered 
with black ink and added to the page with some glue.


Thank you for visiting our blog today,
I hope you have enjoyed the process of creating this page.
Have a happy, crafty weekend and
please join us again on Monday.
