SIMPLE STORIES THAT IS! Welcome everybody and TGIF! Simple Stories did a creative thing & let some fun fans (me and some others) join up with their creative Design Team to bring you their first 2012 blog hop filled with Friday inspiration, some CHA sneak peeks and some really cool creations... R U READY ????
The HOP actually starts at the SIMPLE STORIES blog (hey Amber!) and so if you started there, you are on the money! You should be popping here via way of DT member Allison Landy's blog; I know she gave you some great inspiration! If you didn't start at the beginning, click on my Simple Stories Blog Hop tab at the top and you'll see all the participants start to finish!
Rather than do a regular layout, I decided to ALSO do an altered project. The house looked bare after all the Christmas decorations got put away yesterday (don't laugh)! I had these "junk" pieces that I found at the Goodwill for $ 1 each just sitting in my closet and I finally decided to turn "trash to treasure."
BEFORE: (ADDED SOME BLACK ACRYLIC PAINT AND MIST)
I wanted to showcase the Destinations stickers to show that even though it is travel themed, you aren't limited to using them just for travel layouts!

| I added in stickers under the tape measure :):) |

| and tucked some more in the corners |
The next diva on the HOP is somebody you should already know...and ADORE...girl is super talented, gorgeous, smart, got mad minibook skillz and talent (Oops I said that twice didn't I )-up next .. it's WENDY "how you doing" Morris !!! Hop over to her blog Scrapnspire for more Friday hop fun!
And you know I couldn't REALLY say bye-bye without a SIMPLE STORIES layout right ???!!!
