Storyteller Kit 01 | Special Guest Jen Wong

Hi, friends! I’m thrilled to share my first project using the new Fun Storyteller Kit. When I first heard that the theme of the kit was “fun,” I immediately thought about all the fun I have while traveling. I love traveling and have quite a backlog of trips to document. I’m starting a traveler’s notebook to document a trip taken to Hawaii last summer and thought the Fun Storyteller Kit would be perfect for making my first page in the notebook.

Since the kit comes with 7 numbered 3” x 4” journaling cards and this trip was 1 week long, I thought I could tell a story of something fun everyday we were on the trip. I’m starting right in the middle of the trip, on our fourth day where my family and I did a fun hike.

I always take a lot of photos on my travels and one way I like to include multiple photos is through photo collages. I created one on the left side of the page and created a fold-out page on the right, to highlight a large landscape photo.

The left page photo collage is embellished simply with a couple of the die cuts and an orange word phrase sticker from the January SBTM kit.

On the right, I created a pocket where the 3” x 4” journaling card resides. I wanted to tie more of the orange from the card onto my page, so I used the digital version of the beige die cut flower to recolor it orange and adhere it over the pocket.

I digitally created a tab for the top of the page using one of the labels from the kit and “the story” text from one of the story cards.

On the inside of the right page is a large photo which is embellished with one more label and a speech bubble from last year’s June SBTM kit.

You can hear me talk about my decisions and see how I put these pages together in the video below.

I’m excited to continue working with the kit and I can’t see what projects you make with it!
