Just in case you didn't get a chance to see my pages on the Taylored Expressions Blog yesterday, I thought I'd share them here as well. This week Taylored Expressions teamed up with Simple Stories for a fabulously fun product swap and amazing giveaways! I was more than a little thrilled to be part of the swap!!!
Each time there is an important event, my daughter and her two best friends are always up for having a photo or two taken. These precious girls are amazing together and it’s been fun to watch them grow into beautiful young women. When I saw the Simple Stories “A Charmed Life” collection, I immediately thought of gathering photos of this special trio.

Page 1: All of the SN@P elements that come in this collection
makes it easy to put pocket pages together.
Included on this page are some SN@P Pockets, SN@P Cards, Bits &
Pieces, Expressions Cardstock Stickers, and pattern papers from the 6”x 6”
paper pack that are all from the collection.
Then I added several dies from Taylored Expressions that coordinated
perfectly to make this page go together very quickly.
Bottom Panel: Using a SN@P card as my base, I used the Pages &
Pockets Fab Frames set for the “Smile” frame.
Then added a quick border to the photo using the Small Scallop Border
die. I always like to add a date of some
kind for my photos, so I used the Pockets & Pages Calendar stamp set to add
the month and used letter stickers from the Expressions Cardstock Sticker sheet
for the title and year.
Top Left: Inside the little pocket, I cut out the “Sweet” from the Pockets & Pages Circle Words die and added it to a tag from the Simple Stories Bits & Pieces pack.
Top Right: Scraps of paper from the paper pack make a perfect photo border & then an added sticker brings it all together.
Page 2: For this page, I hit highlights from the Homecoming Football game, the Marching Band Banquet and the Marching Band trip to NYC to march in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Bottom: I love this little insert! The base is from the SN@P cards. Then I added the title using a combination of TE Chunky Alpha dies and Simple Stories letter stickers. The arrow is from the Pockets & Pages 3x4 Essentials & I added another Small Scallop Border edge to my photo. They all work so perfectly together!
Top Left: Pattern papers from the collection make a great mat and border. Then trimmed I used a few other patterns and solids with the TE Chevron Boarders & the Label It Dies to add some additional embellishments.
Top Right: As the base, I used a SN@P card and attached the photo with a tab from the Pockets & Pages 4x6 Essentials & a few little flower stickers and Kaiser Silver Gems to finish off the pocket piece.
Page 3: Highlights from the year end Band Banquet when Megan was named Drum Major.
I started with one of the preprinted pages in the SN@P
Pages. Then when I saw the big
“ampersand” on the Fundamentals Cardstock Sticker sheet, I knew I wanted to use
it. I added the girls names around
it.
The photo is framed with the Pockets & Pages 3x4
Essentials Die and the “Love” is the Pockets & Pages Circle Word trimmed
out from pattern papers in the collection.
I also added the date with the P&P Calendar stamp set on a TE Simple
Tabs die cut.
I really enjoyed how well the Simple Stories & Taylored Expressions products coordinated and worked so easily together. I plan on making several more pages with this collection!
