Hiya, it’s Jamie! Aside from scrapbooking, reading is my No. 2 favorite hobby. I love getting lost in other places and times, stepping into other worlds and character’s lives. Which was why I was so excited about the new Read products, especially that stamp set! I knew they would be perfect for updating my 2016 album with more of the books that I’ve read this year. I documented the first half of the year in past spreads and this one covers my summer reads.
Products Used: Read Stamp, Read Journaling Tags, Read Wood Veneers, Sunny Days Puffy Stickers, and May 2016 Monthly Kit.
I used the stamp set to embellish the 3×4 journaling tags, adding glasses and the “Read This” circle stamp. I also added a label and included the “I love a good story” sentiment. One of the books I read over the summer isn’t one I’d recommend. I didn’t want to highlight it, so slipped a 3×4 piece of vellum into the pocket and stamped “favorite” over it. I hand wrote “not my” on top.
The rest of the embellishing was really minimal. I added one of the wood veneer labels on top of the page protector and finished it with an acrylic star. I also added two tiny puffy stars—one to the label and the other to the “Eat, Read, Sleep, Repeat” card.
I know I’ll be using these products until they run out! Because documenting my book lists have become one of my favorite type of projects. We’d love to see how you’re document your favorite books – make sure you use the hashtag #EllesStudio when sharing on Instagram!
