"Smile Big" Travelers Notebook Spread | Nicole Kerr

Hello crafty friends! Nicole here and today I'm using the fresh and new Phoenix add on kit that features the beautiful Simple Stories Quarantine papers and Hello Today ephemera.  I'm also using the brand new Succulent Potted Plants cut file. I love how Gia set the cut file up! You're able to mix and match the different succulents with the different pots!

Today I'm documenting a proud moment in my travelers notebook. About a year ago, I tried to root a little leaf that had fallen off of my succulent. Ten months later, this little guy is rooted, healthy and still growing! Here's a look at my completed spread:

The left page, I used my photo of my succulent as my focal point.  I printed it large enough to cut it from the rest of the photo, letting it stand out even more.  I used a 3x4 journaling card from the kit along with a few pieces of ephemera to embellish the page.  I used my tab punch and stamped "Hello Today" with the Studio Forty Stemple clear stamp set.

For the right side of my spread, I used the succulent cut file as my main focus. I also added a few bits of the Simple Stories ephemera and some stamping from the same Stemple stamp set.  How cute is that little sun, cloud and rain?! I just love that added little touch!  To finish off my layout, I used enamel dots from my stash to add a few pops of color.
