September Story Starter Challenge

Storytelling Ideas

For the past four years I’ve been releasing new storytelling prompts to members every month. This year, we’re celebrating each month’s theme with a Story Starter™ Challenge. You’re invited to create a layout and submit it for a chance to win a 3-month Simple Scrapper membership pass.

Three Ideas from the Creative Team

Each of these layouts from our creative team uses a sketch or layered template from the membership along with one of this month’s twelve new Story Starters.

You can get instant access to a library of more than 400 Story Starter™ prompts when you become a member at Simple Scrapper.

    Here is a page I created of my son dressed up as his favourite Storybook character, Puss in Boots. He loved this outfit so much that he wanted to wear it all the time! Puss in Boots is still one of our favourite books to read together.
