Storyteller Kit 01 | Special Guest Jen Wong

Hi, friends! I’m happy to be back on the blog to share another project using the Fun Storyteller Kit! I’m still working on pages in the Hawaii TN I started a couple of months back using pieces from this kit, but I thought I’d make a different set of pages this time just to show how great the kit is for telling all kinds of stories.

My daughter and I recently went on a quick trip to Mammoth with my brother’s family and since I am not sure I will document it anywhere else, I wanted to at least tell a few fun stories from the trip in a 6” x 8” layout.

I started with the 6” x 8” paper with the numbered “The Story” titles on it. It’s a perfect starting point for telling a few stories! Instead of adding writing to the rectangles, I decided to print photos and put those on top. These photos are sized to slightly larger than the rectangles on the page at 1 1/2” H x 2 5/8" W.

I still wanted to include journaling about the photos though, so I decided to make some fun tags using the top portions of the 3” x 4” “This was fun” cards. I cut these into tag shapes and added my journaling on the back of the tags. This also gave me a chance to try out the new Borders 4x6 stamp, which I used to decorate the tags!

For the left side of the page, I constructed a page using a 3.5” x 8.25” photo (half of an outside-the-page-protector paper) and the same size piece of the rainbow “fun” vellum paper. These are stitched together using a zig-zag stitch on my sewing machine.

I added one of the pocket tags on top of the vellum paper to include some extra journaling about the overall trip.

You can see all the steps and how I put these pages together in the video below.
