Storytelling With Stamps | Everyday Life In A Notebook

Storytelling With Stamps continues with a short story in a new notebook I started for some everyday life stories.

Let's dive into the video:

Here's a look at the beginnings of this notebook:

Sometimes I've got everyday life stories I want to document but don't want to create a full layout. Some of these stories are ones I would have added to my Project Life album in the past (I've missed having a place for some of these over the last few years but am currently not interested in starting that project again). Enter an everyday life stories notebook.

I added a recent puffy circle add on from the Currently Story Kit to the outside of the notebook.

The first stamp I wanted to play with for this project is the Written Numbers 6x8 Stamp Set. I paired it with our restocked Lined Alpha 6x8 Stamp to create a title on vellum for the first story in this notebook.

Bring on the stacked dates and numbers (think birthday projects)! Along with the stamped numbers I also added a word/phrase sticker and a chipboard piece from a past project release. I added all this on vellum and added it into the notebook by adhering some of the vellum behind my full page photo.

On the back of the vellum I added another word/phrase sticker (clear) on the same location as the one on the other side. I also added another chipboard of the same shape.

I used the Catch Phrases 4x6 Stamp Set to create a stamped pattern and cut it to fit inside the space at the top of the notebook page. On top of that I added a pleather tag from a past project release.

As a title I used the phrase "abundance is a mindset" from the Ali Phrases 4x6 Stamp Set before handwriting my journaling about the plethora of shoes all over the floor in our house these days.

Bring on the small stories!
