Story Play Foodie | Special Guest Jen Wong

Hi friends! When I first saw the Story Play Foodie kit, my head started thinking about all of the stories I could tell with it. I grew up in a family of food lovers and we are people who definitely love to eat. As a young adult though, I transitioned to a more plant-based diet, and I wanted to tell a bit about the story of missing certain childhood favorites, but eventually discovering I could replicate them.

I am one of those people who also loves to take photos of my food. I wanted to highlight that and started with a full-page photo of a noodle dish I had made. This photo is sized to 7" x 8.25" (outside of a page protector).

For my story, I used the "eating" 3" x 4" card. I typed up my journaling in Photoshop, printed it out on clear sticker paper, and adhered it on top.

I loved the transparency sheet that came with the kit and thought it would be perfect for adding my story to it. I created a pocket to hold the journaling card, cutting down a leftover page protector. On the front of the pocket, I adhered one of the chipboard tags and attached some baker's twine to the top for an additional texture. The entire pocket was attached to the middle of the transparency using double-sided adhesive tape.

I didn't want the pocket to show on the other side, so on the back of the transparency, where the pocket card shows through, I added an additional 3" x 4" photo of my food.

I love how these pages turned out! This is a reminder that it doesn't have to be complicated! I'm happy I was able to get another story in the books and I can't wait to see what kind of stories you tell with this kit.
