Memories Layout by Dedra Long

Hey there everyone! It's Thursday, looking forward to the weekend. The chalkboard trend is so hot right now and when I saw the Memorabilia Collection from Teresa it was the first thing I wanted to work with. From the sequins to the layered stickers, stamps and everything in between I love every piece of it.

The geo-number stamps (that's what I call them) where so cute I decided to stamp them onto mini paper clips with Staz.On ink. The added dimension was exactly what I was looking for.

Sometimes in a stamp set you can have stamps that are one piece but you only want to stamp a part of the image. Most of the time I cut the stamp apart instead of only inking the piece I want. That's what I did to the stamp I used on the yellow border piece. Originally the stamp was one piece that said together with the space and arrows.

I cut the stamp apart so I could use the space and arrows by themselves. I don't always cut my stamps but in this case it was better for me.

The file folders are always something I look forward to, especially the smallest one in each collection that opens up like an accordion. I added a chipboard sticker onto the ribbon closure and used the non-pocket side to add journaling as well as a couple of the layered stickers (that silhouette sticker caught my eye immediately.)

The side of the file folder with pockets is perfect for events or stories that have a lot of photos, print all of them, slide them in and you're all set.

Thanks for stopping by today and taking a look!
