Cherries, Butterflies, and Kittens, Oh My!

 Hey, scrapbookers!

This month's kit from My Creative Scrapbook is a dream to work with. The papers and embellishments have a beautiful, distressed, and romantic feel.

Creating a Layered Background

To start this project, the base paper has a rich, multi-layered background with the look of torn and layered paper. This faux-distressed paper adds depth and character. The pink floral and blue butterfly papers were overlapped to create a unique base. Black paint splatters were then added for a touch of mixed-media contrast.

Building the Story

The photo of the kitten was the perfect centerpiece. It was layered over distressed paper for a cozy feel. The die-cut cherries and pink frame were placed on the left, forming a cluster with the sentiment, "here is everywhere I want to be." Butterflies were tucked in to tie the different elements together.

The Final Details

The kit's embellishments—from butterflies to dimensional flowers and word strips like "parcel post"—added the finishing touches. The arrows were used to guide the eye across the page. This kit makes it easy to create a stunning, layered layout.  Check out Nicole's process here https://youtu.be/R6jUFKjaAqQ

Homework Helper Scrapbook Page Ideas

Back to school can be a whirlwind, but it's also a great opportunity to get creative! This scrapbook layout captures a classic back-to-school moment and is full of fun ideas you can use on your own projects. Let's break down some of the elements that make this page pop.

Layering for Depth and Interest

The foundation of this layout is the layered background. Strips of patterned paper in soft pink and cool teal are arranged behind the photo, giving the page a rich, dimensional feel. Notice how the different textures, like the leopard print and the raised dots on the teal paper, add visual interest. Layering isn't just for the background—it's also used to frame the photo itself. The picture is matted on a tag, which is then layered over the paper strips, creating a focal point that draws your eye right to the subject.

Thematic Embellishments

The embellishments on this page are perfectly on-theme for a "homework" layout. Die-cuts of pencils, scissors, and a ruler are clustered together, looking like they've just spilled out of a pencil holder. A cute owl wearing glasses and reading a book adds a touch of personality and whimsy. The "Homework" title is bold and stands out, while a small, old-fashioned typewriter with a tiny heart on the paper adds another charming detail. These smaller pieces all work together to tell a complete story.

Color and Texture

The color palette is soft and harmonious, combining pastel pinks and blues with pops of yellow and green. This keeps the page from feeling too busy. Beyond just color, the texture is what truly makes the page special. Besides the embossed paper strips, there are delicate die-cut flowers and leaves that give a sense of lightness and contrast with the bolder patterns. Even the simple string tied to the tag adds a bit of texture and a homemade feel.

This layout is a perfect example of how combining layers, themed embellishments, and a thoughtful color scheme can create a beautiful and meaningful scrapbook page. You can watch this layout come together here https://youtu.be/1QOIzFK0W8s?si=6A8GAvNuV5sFLbBj

Magical Moments: Scrapbook Layout Inspiration

 

Welcome, creative friends! This month, we're thrilled to share a stunning and whimsical project by our talented design team member, Joanne Bartell. Joanne has created a magical layout that captures the enchanting spirit of a childhood moment.

The layout is a beautiful symphony of soft pastels, vintage ephemera, and intricate details. Joanne's use of layered papers, including a charming print with a bunny and delicate pink roses, provides a dreamy backdrop for her sweet photo. The focal point is a lovely picture of a young girl sitting on a hay bale, her pink dress echoing the colors of the scrapbook paper.

What truly makes this project shine are the thoughtful embellishments. Joanne has artfully arranged die-cut butterflies, delicate paper flowers in shades of blush and robin's egg blue, and shimmering red rhinestones that add a touch of sparkle. A vintage-inspired hot air balloon and a beautiful framed quote that reads, “Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature” complete the fairytale scene.

Joanne’s layout is a perfect example of how to combine a variety of elements—from patterned paper and die-cuts to gems and dimensional flowers—to create a cohesive and deeply personal work of art. Her design not only showcases a precious memory but transforms it into a magical story on the page.  You can watch how this layout comes together https://youtu.be/AuV8PmfzzmQ?si=gzinzHTlzrccRGi9

We hope this beautiful project inspires you to find the magic in your own photos and bring them to life with your unique creative touch. Happy scrapping!
