Using the Let's Go Documenter Kit with Kelly Noel

Hello, SC friends! The "Let's Go" Kits are so much fun—I love the bright, bold colors and fun embellishments in all of the kits. This month's Documenter Kit has a great variety of cards, and my favorite parts of the kit are the chipboard embellishments and the adorable emojis! We recently took a trip to visit family in Indiana (a long 16-hour drive from Florida!), and I loved the travel vibe of the stamp set in this month's kit, so I thought it would be perfect to help document our trip.

One of my favorite cards in this month's kit was this "Q & A" card. I love to record the funny things my kids say, so it was perfect! When we returned from our trip, my mom asked our four-year-old what his favorite part of the trip was. His reply had us cracking up: "the hotels we lived in." We only stayed two nights in a hotel and that was on the way up and on the way down. They definitely weren't the highlight of our trip at all. Kids say the funniest things! I added two puffy emoji stickers—one in each text box—to add some detail to the card.

I love chipboard accents—they are perfect for adding just the right amount of detail and dimension to any page. I'm always mindful when I take photos to keep some negative space in the frame. Negative space allows for adding additional journaling and/or embellishments. I used the negative space on my ice cream photo and fire pit photo to add some chipboard embellishments, which adds a fun detail to them.

While I love stamping, I'm sometimes scared of messing up a photo or journaling card, fearing I won't be able to stamp straight or that I won't get a clear, crisp image. I did pretty well on the "travel notes" journaling card on this page, but I was too afraid to stamp directly onto the 4" x 6" photo. So, I used the digital version of the stamp instead, which also allowed me to add a bit of text that serves as somewhat of a title for this page.

I hope I've inspired you to break out your "Let's Go" Documenter Kit and document your summer memories!
