"Story Teller" Creations

 Good Monday morning! It's the post- Easter, post-Spring Break "hang-over" for most people today!! I made a few layouts using the Crate Paper "Story Teller" line that I'm going to share today. I've never been a fan of primary colors when scrapbooking- but "Story Teller" is made up of the most beautiful shades of primary colors. They are vintage and modern at the same time. I've loved school and office supplies ever since I can remember, so this line was just plan fun to create with.

When I first looked at this picture of my kids in my sister's car, the old VCR  ">>FF>>" popped into my mind. And the red, green and yellow just so happened to work perfectly, mimicking a traffic light.
For "Wish" I used stickers from both the border and label sheet. To make my title, I cut the letters I needed from the "Chapter" paper. I used a border punch for the torn-out spiral notebook look. The jar is a stamp that I cut out.
This is my favorite of the my "Story Teller" pages. I love pictures with sunlight streaks. The sun was right behind Cohen in this picture and I think it looks pretty neat. I knew I wanted my journaling to say "You shine brighter than the sun." This led to my title and also led to the sunburst idea made with PP and a paper doily cut into triangles.I sew 4 or 5 circles around the whole thing; it reminds me of an old quilt.
And just because I was having fun, I made a very quick 4X6 layered picture to put in a glass-less frame. I used book paper and vellum among my layers and the chipboard typewriter. How cute would a bit of journaling be that said "You're just my Type!" ?!

Well, go have some fun creating with the "Story Teller" line- it's incredibly versatile and totally adorable.
