This is my story

This month’s assignment from Simple Scrapper is to scrap using phone-photos. As an avid Instagrammer I knew I had photos. The trouble was deciding which photos to use, and which story I wanted to scrap.

I chose a sketch from Simple Scrapper Premium Member’s May-gallery, which simply held the title “This is my story”. I chose this sketch because it held a lot of photos, arranged in a grid (and if you’ve followed me for a while, you know I love grids!). I decided to go with the title from the sketch and chose recent photos that tell some of my story. I use Instagram to share my life, my world, and it seemed appropriate to do the same for this assignment, adding another layer to the assignment.





I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the background (“Circles with stars” is made by April Lewis) and added back some of the cut-out stars. I used a doily as a journaling spot and added some tape and a bit of Heidi Swapp Opanble to add layers to the layout.
