May Arts:: Xyron and Simple Stories


May Arts has the best collaborations and this week we are teaming up with Simple Stories and Xyron for a ton of inspiration! My two favorite past-times during the summer are baseball and reading and was happy to be able to combine these two into one project featuring amazing products from all three companies!


I started the bookmarks by adhering journaling cards from the Simple Stories Good Day Sunshine Kit to a cardstock base with Xyron's Adhesive Runner. I then added the photos of my boys' in their baseball uniforms and embellished with stickers from the kit. I was able to laminate the bookmarks with Xyron's Glossy Laminate Sheets for durability and finished them by adding a tassle of May Arts Ribbon consisting of 1/4" Silk Ribbon in Yellow (SK27) and one of the new colors, Mint Green (SK98), as well as Burlap String in Parrot Green (SM46).

As usual, there are prizes up for grabs by hopping along and commenting on the designer's pages as well as the May Arts Blog. THREE prize packs consist of: Simple Stories' Good Day Sunshine Kit, a spool of May Arts ribbon (winners choice), and a 2.5" create a sticker from Xyron.

And the order of the hop is as follows:
Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday
