September Layout of Choice: PinkFresh “Ordinary Joys”

We made it to September! Wahooo! I am thrilled to be back to the start of a new school year and solidly back in a routine — Hallelujah!

Today, I get to share an adorable fall-kissed, double-page layout! I was given “Ordinary Joys” by PinkFresh to design with this month and it was so fun! I especially fell in love with the “Nature Walk” paper that had an ombre leaf design.

I fussy cut out different shades of the leaves and arranged them in a swirl, ombre shape. I hope it triggers the viewer’s memory of floating fall leaves.

If you haven’t checked into becoming a monthly subscriber at The Scraproom, you 100% should! I love getting my fun white package each month and seeing what trending goodies are inside!

I hope you were inspired to create a floating leaf swirl of your own this month! Thanks for peeking at my work!

Simple Stories “Timeless Harmony”

Wedding layouts are always something special. A few years ago, my sweet baby girl was invited to be a flower girl at my cousins wedding. She did an amazing job and was so brave walking down the aisle.

When I was given the Simple Stories “Timeless Harmony” collection, I knew that I thankfully could incorporate some of the flower petals that she had tossed onto the aisle. Like a proud mama, I had snatched a few up to save them for a layout. 😉

Can you spot them in the above “Beautiful Moments” layout? They’re navy blue and tucked behind a few elements.

Secondly, we of course need a layout featuring the bride and groom. I sneakily stole a few of their wedding photos off their Facebook page and scrapped them. I added their wedding invitation, program and “Save the Date” to the back of this page, so I would have them to look back on in future years too.

Out of the entire collection, this green and white gingham paper is my absolute favorite. I’m a sucker for gingham in any color, but the sage and white color just tied in so well for a formal occasion.

Alright, that’s all the layouts I have to show for now! Thanks for swinging by my little spot in the universe and sharing the joy of scrapbooking!

Pinkfresh “Fresh Start” Single-Page Layout

How gorgeous is this green gingham floral paper? I fell in love with it immediately! I dug through my daughter’s baby photos and found one with some matching color tones to compliment the paper. There is nothing sweeter than photos of my girls and I want to remember these precious moments forever.

I received this “Fresh Start” collection from The Scraproom’s monthly subscription kit. You guys, I absolutely love this subscription — I get four of the newest collections & a mini Ziploc bag with coffee ground for me to enjoy while I scrapbook. It’s THE BEST.

I hope you check out all that The Scraproom has to offer and find some time to scrapbook this week! Happy Scrapping!

“Adventure Awaits” by Bella Blvd

Are you ready for a fun new challenge? I was this month! I love looking at quilts for paper piecing inspiration, and since this was an outdoor collection with many fun patterned papers, a quilt- like page seemed like a great way to showcase them!

Take a peek at half of my double page layout here (only Scraproom subscribers get to view the whole layout & see the full recipe on how to create it! It’s worth subscribing!).

Have you ever tried to scrapbook based off a quilt pattern? If not, give it a try! They have amazing geometric shapes that are fun to copy with paper.

Thanks for taking a peek at my work! Have a happy, scrappy day!

“My Girls Are My Favorite” using “Crafted Moments” by Pink Fresh

These are the moments I never want to forget — my little girls playing dress up, as happy as can be!

This month, I was given the Pink Fresh “Crafted Moments” collection and as soon as I saw this gorgeous blue floral paper, I knew these photos would be perfect for it! I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut a large heart shape and backed it with white cardstock. Before backing it, I trimmed off about an inch from each side of the blue floral paper.

Then, I tucked the photos into the heart shape and embellished around the heart outline to frame the photos.

Now, I get to enjoy this layout of my girls forever 🙂

“Happiest 1st Birthday” using Simple Stories “Say Cheese — Happiest Place”

Here’s my adorable little peanut on her 1st birthday! Her party happened to be a “Minnie Mouse” theme which blended perfectly with this new Simple Stories collection called “Say Cheese — Happiest Place.”

This is technically a two page layout however my photo is only showing the left hand page due to my role as a kit designer at The Scraproom. If you would like to see scripted, double-page recipes each month — subscribe to their amazing monthly kits! I love opening my box each month and finding the latest and greatest collection releases!

Thanks for taking a peek at my work! Happy Scrapping!

Simple Stories “Color Me Happy” Double-Page-Layout

Ok. This collection has to be in my top favorites. It’s vibrant, fun and just makes you smile. As soon as I saw it in my monthly kit from The Scraproom, I knew it was going to help me create something amazing.

To start, I cut out 18 circles for each page. I ended up replacing a few of the circles with photos or embellishments, but relied heavily on them for the background. I then added a few scallops at the top to tone down the busyness of the patterns. The black background also helped make the page feel grounded and not too hard on the eyes.

I added a few rectangular photos, a fun title and lots of flower embellishments to really make the page pop! Didn’t it turn out so FUN?! I just love it!

This “Color Me Happy” collection is one of my favorite collections! It’s just so easy and fun to play with! Hope you enjoy it too! 🙂

Carta Bella “French Girl” Double-Page Layout

Bonjour! Welcome to my scrappy place in the world. Today, I get to showcase a layout featuring Carta Bella’s “French Girl” collection. Many years ago I visited Paris and came home with an iconic red French beret. My little girls found it around Valentine’s Day one year and I couldn’t help but snap these photos of them. 

I created my ode to the Eiffel Tower by paper piecing some shapes together and then adding some of the adorable stickers from the included sticker sheet. Voila!

This was such a fun page to create! I hope you get a chance to create something amazing today too!!

Echo Park “Craft Room” — Making Life More Colorful

“Making Life More Colorful” seemed like the appropriate title to document my daughters — who make my life colorful. 😉

 I loved the bright colors and creative elements in this collection. I chose to blend some patterns by cutting some papers diagonally and matching up the longest sides. Then, I embellished along that diagonal line. It added some fun vibrancy and movement to the page!

I created a coordinating page with some of the other patterned papers in the collection. I followed the same diagonal theme but I had more photos for this page, so it turned out slightly different. Still cute though!

Thanks for taking a peek at my work! I hope you feel inspired and that you can find “Craft Room” by Echo Park at a scrapbook store near you! 🙂

Happy Scrapping!

Echo Park “In Full Bloom” Double-Page Layout

I’m convinced there’s nothing as cute as sisters. My two girls are just adorable and love each other so much. This layout using Echo Park’s “In Full Bloom” showcases them on Easter of 2024. I had so many pictures of this Easter that I felt like a grid design might help me show off the photos and fun patterned papers!

This grid design is such a fun and easy technique. I simply cut 5×5 squares and added a photo to each one. Then I embellished away!

Thanks for swinging by my blog! I hope you get a chance to use Echo Park’s “In Full Bloom” collection and maybe try out this grid technique!

Happy Scrapping! 🙂
