Storytelling With Stamps | April Stuff With Anna

Today's Storytelling With Stamps project features another story in my everyday life notebook and uses our new Woodblock Alpha Stamp Set. 

Let's dive into the video: 

Here is a look at how this project turned out in my notebook: 

Creating background patterns with stamps is definitely one of my favorite ways to use my stamps. For this project where I was detailing some one on one time I got to spend with Anna in April I decided to create a stamped background using the Woodblock Alpha Stamps and the Catch Phrases 4x6 Stamp Set ("with"). 

I used both our Willamette and McKenzie crafters inks for stamping on a piece of white cardstock which was then cut to fit into the notebook. 

In Photoshop I created a collage of recent photos with Anna (sized to 4.25 inches x 8.25 inches). On top of the photo collage I added a fun puffy ampersand sticker along with two small foam alpha stickers. I also added a half-circle paper die cut along the bottom. 

In between my stamped phrases I added puffy hearts from past releases. On top of my stamped background I added a "this happened" card from the April Stories By The Month Kit and added a sticker tab along the top from the May Stories By The Month kit.
