Little Things Story Theme

I continue to love Ali Edward's monthly story themes.  I subscribe to her story kit, which always includes such amazing products, but what I find myself loving even more are the story prompts.  Ali has a way of making me dig deep in order to tell my stories.  May's story theme was "little things".  I am a bit late keeping up with the prompts, but I always enjoy creating these layouts.

Earlier this year, I decided that I am using these story theme prompts to tell my story.  While I enjoy documenting our family story, and my own stories and memories often get overlooked.  

Using one of Ali's layouts as inspiration, I decided to document 36 little things that I am grateful for.  36 little things - one for each year of my life.

In Photoshop, I cropped a 8.5 x 11 inch photo of myself.  I added 36 little things that I am grateful for right now. I printed at home and added a chipboard sticker from the kit to the top of the layout.  The '3' and '6' were from my stash - and I layered the plastic "little things" right over the numbers.  Super simple, and most importantly, done!

And here is how it looks in my album.

I am using a We R Memory Keepers 8.5x11 Classic Leather Album to hold all of my story layouts.  I slipped the completed layout in a  8x5 x 11 inch page protector.
