#LittleSummerJOY 2016: Lesson 3 - Get Into Your Story

Get Into Your Story is this week's prompt!

I am so happy with this week's ideas posted over at 

LittlePaperProjects.com !

 For #LittleSummerJOY2016 Lesson 3, we are to focus on the story. This was the perfect solution for our summer trip to Magic Mountain, where we were so focused on experiencing the moments together and quickly getting to the next ride on our "Big Thrills" list! I took so few photos, but was uber immersed in the joy of the experience.

When I got home and started to put together the rest of my traveler's notebook (started on the trip), I got stuck at the Magic Mountain day that we spent from open to park close riding big rides! #LittleSummerJOy prompt to the rescue! The journaling on the left was all completed at the hotel room during our trip. I simply added the Pinkfresh Studio Life Noted paper from the July Clique Kits at the bottom to make a pocket for the couple photos I do have from that day.

 Here are the three tags that fit in the pocket. Two have photos and the journaling on the back.  The Six Flags park map ride descriptions were a perfect way to include the info and a checkmark for each ride we experienced, on the third tag.

The tag fronts: check marked all the rides we went on so that we can always remember how much fun we had together!!




This traveler's notebook spread has a lot of the story, and now I feel at peace with that, and able to find joy in the moments we did capture.

There is a happy little process video below on this layout as well.

All papers punched from the October Clique Kit Funfetti #Pinkfresh Studio papers: A good way to use up small pieces you have left over.

This is based on the Studio Calico October 18th Sunday Sketch, they have a free one every Sunday!!

Clique Kits "I Love This Girl" Layout Using Exclusive Cut Files

 Hello Friends! Leigh here, to highlight the exclusive digital cut files

from Clique Kits October Funfetti Kit.

This 8.5x11 layout's main focal point is the geometric cut file, an exclusive cut file that's included in your kit at Clique Kits. Love that!

This is the cut file I used, it's one of the many cut files you get each month.

Here's a close up the embellishments at the top of the page. Pinkfresh Studio wood veneer, and puffy stickers,  love these.

The #PinkfreshStudio wood veneer is perfect for bringing attention to the photos. The glassine bags from your kit, are used here to hold confetti, punched pieces, and the title.

Layout made with the Clique Kits October Funfetti kit.

Thank you for visiting, 

hugs,

Loving this paper from Pinkfresh Studio (#PFRC200115F-Dream Big / Geo Stripe) so wanted to showcase it by repeating the circles and triangles from this awesome modern geometric! 

Stitched down the acetate pieces with my sewing machine.

The puffy stickers, flat sequins, and flair from the October Funfetti Kit from Clique Kits add variety and interest to the embellishment cluster here.

Here's a little something about Leigh: 

Leigh is a wife and blessed Mom, with a degree in Design. She has  been an artist her whole life, and since finding Project Life® in 2013, has become an avid Project Lifer. Her perfect world would have time for painting, paper crafting, movie marathons with her family, beach picnics, and running: all in between cups of coffee and tea! This year, Leigh has completed courses in Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator. She loves to encourage everyone she meets to be the photographer, and author of their own family story. She is completely excited and honored to be a part of Clique Kits Varsity Team for 2015-2016! She can't wait to see what you create with your Clique Kits!

I created this free sketch for you! Download here

I created these for you to download free! [Here] The ones you download don't have the watermark, but please remember they are for personal use only.  These are 6"x4" so you can easily print them on 4x6 matte photo paper, matte presentation paper or textured card stock. Just make sure its actually 6 inches wide, because I found out the hard way that if your paper is shorter, it will cut off the first white card and your fall leaves and hexi won't be in the center--- HA!

Here's the hop line up in case you get lost along the way:)
