I was so excited to start my Sn@p Binder from Simple Stores with some pages of our recent cruise on Allure of the Seas. I was SO glad to have the AWESOME NEW Laina Lamb Journal It - Graph Paper Notes, Document it - Captured Memories, Accent it - Cute Cameras Die-namics and the InstaFrame Die-namics to help me tell the story and capture the FUN memories of our recent cruise vacation on Allure of the Seas.  So, I made 2, 6x8 pages of Kieran concurring the Rock Climbing Wall and 2, 6X8 pages of Hannah having a zippy time on the The Zip Line!

 

Oh, this is definitely, my fave pic of Kieran! He loved the Rock Climbing Wall and mastered the difficult course...the red grips. He makes it look SO easy! 

For this page, I used the Insert it 3X4 Insert Die-namics and cut Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock with it, then stamped the NEW Graph Paper stamp from the NEW Journal It - Graph Paper Notes Stamp Set on it and tucked it under the pic of Kieran. I added a little hand written journaling along the edge of it. I used MFT Nightshift Blue, Sweet Tooth and Kraft Heavyweight Card Stock. I also used the NEW Looped Border Die-namics and several stamps from the NEW Journal it - Graph Paper Notes Stamp set and Document It - Captured Memories Stamp set.

I used the High-Rise Alphabet Uppercase and High-Rise Alphabet Lowercase Die-namics for the title and I added one of the cute Cameras from the NEW Accent It - Cute Cameras Die-namics. I stamped the 'Documented" sentiment from the NEW Journal It- Graph Paper Notes Stamp set on Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock and then added a little journaling...Kieran reached the top of the Rock Climbing Wall and rang the bell proudly.

I love that the "Say Cheese" speech bubble stamp from the NEW Document It - Captured Memories Stamp set fits perfectly in the large Say What? Die-namics. 

Allure of the Seas has a Zip Line and Hannah had a blast on it! We lost count of how many times both of the kids zipped along it.

For this page, again, I used the High-Rise Alphabet Uppercase and High-Rise Alphabet lowercase for the page title. I used MFT Wild Cherry, Blue Raspberry and Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock.  I used the NEW InstaFrame Die-namics and cut it from Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock and stamped a sentiment from the NEW Document It - Captured Memories Stamp set on it with MFT Wild Cherry Premium Dye Ink. Then I stamped it a second time and cut out the "Thousand Words" portion with my scissors and pop-dotted it up on the sentiment for a little added dimension. I also cut a tag with the Howdy Die-namics and add a Wild Cherry heavyweight card stock heart cut with the Accent It- Calendar Components.

Hannah was excited to see that I added a little red "Instagram" camera icon...she is totally addicted to Instagram and LOOOVVEED the sentiment that I added to the little embellishment cluster on the corrugated cardboard circle. The NEW Accent It - Cute Cameras Die-namics are a must-have item from this release...they are SO cute! I stamped the sentiment on the rounded Sentiment Strip from the Sentiments Strip Die-namics. The arrows are cut from Wild Cherry Heavyweight Card Stock Cut with the Lead the Way Die-namics.

I snapped this pic of Hannah after she had just finished zipping down the Zip line. She was making her way back to have another go at it...I LOVE the big smile on her face...evidence of a good time!!!

 I stamped the "Captured" and "Take By:" sentiment stamps from the NEW Document It - Captured Memories Stamp set directly on the pattern paper with Wild Cherry Premium Dye Ink and added some had written journaling. I used the NEW Mini Double Dots Border Die-namics and cut it from Wild Cherry Heavyweight Card Stock and added some red gems to it.

I also stamped the "Way To Go" sentiment from the NEW Gift Card Greetings II Stamp set and the "I Heart You" sentiment is from the NEW Triple Scoop Set this month...Lovey Dovey Sentiments Stamp Set. I cut the Hexagons Die-namics from Sweet Tooth Heavyweight Card Stock and stamped the cute sentiment that fits it perfectly "our Life in Photos" with Wild Cherry Premium Dye Ink and layered it over the pinked circle cut with the Accent It - Tags and Flag Die-namics. 

Well, thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my Sn@p Binder pages using the NEW Journal It - Graph Paper Notes Stamp Set, Document It - Captured Memories Stamp set and Accent It - Cute Cameras Die-namics and InstaFrame Die-namics.
