Simple Stories & Tombow Adhesives Swap

Hi All! Rebecca here! The Simple Stories team had the pleasure of swapping goodies with the Tombow adhesives team this month.I received an assortment of Tombow adhesives and a set of Dual Tip Markers. For my first project I created an altered notebook. I bought a composition book from the Dollar Store, pulled out my Simple Stories We Are...Family collection and the several Tombow adhesives. I got to work changing it from a plain old black and white notebook into this...

I used the Tombow Mono Liquid Glue to cover the front and back with patterned paper.

I used Tombow Xtreme to apply cards and smaller pieces of paper.

I added layers to the front, back...

and inside.

I love how quick and easy it is to turn a plain composition book into a personalized gift with some pretty Simple Stories paper and stickers and some good adhesive.

I also created a layout this time using both the Tombow adhesives and markers.

I stamped the hot air balloons and colored them in with the Dual Tip Markers.

I used the Tombow Stamp Runner to adhere elements to my page. I used it as a roller on the larger pieces like the one on the right and as the Stamper to stamp out a square adhesive on the smaller elements like the small cloud.

For some extra dimension I used Tombow 3D Foam Tabs.

I like how they come in two sizes for different size embellishments or die cuts.
