Hey everyone! I'm coming out of the woodworks to share some scrapbooking inspriation on National Scrapbook Day! I've been working behind the scenes for Sunny Studio Stamps for quite a few years now, so I was excited when Mendi asked me if I could some projects using her new dies (and I couldn't help but mix in a few older dies as well!). 

When I think of Sunny Studio's stamps, I automatically think of card making. But when I think of Sunny Studio's dies – specifically her standalone dies – I can see so many ways to work them into scrapbooking projects, whether it's traditional layouts, smaller sized travelers notebook pages, or pocket pages. I've switched over to the smaller sized "layouts" and pocket page style of scrapbooking over the last few years, so I was excited to create some projects focusing on these fun dies. 

For this travelers notebook sized spread (pages are 4"x8.25"), I started by die-cutting the white cardstock base of the second page using the Staggered Circle dies.

I backed it with some black and white polka dot patterned paper, and then added some borders along the top and bottom using the Ribbon & Lace Border dies. 

I used the Notebook Photo Corner dies to die-cut two banners and added alphabet stickers to each to hold my title. I also die-cut three notebook pages from white cardstock, using the same die set, adhered my photos to each of them, and then tore the cardstock directly under the photo.

I used the Notebook Tab dies to create a tab for each photo, writing my "chore" (aka, where you'll find me on my days off work) in the center piece of each tab.

Sunny Studio Supplies: (Ribbon & Lace Border Dies, Staggered Circle Dies, Notebook Photo Corner Dies, Notebook Tabs Dies, Classic Gingham Paper, Polka-dot Parade Paper, Amazing Argyle Paper, Heroic Halftones Paper)

I'll be sharing the rest of my projects next week, but you can see them all now over on the Sunny Studio blog.
