Round & Round the Garden: Creating a Pinwheel Layout with the New LE Kit!

Welcome back to the blog! The creative inspiration is in full bloom today, and there is a gorgeous new project to share featuring the latest Limited Edition Kit from My Creative Scrapbook. This month's kit is packed with soft pastels, lush florals, and garden-inspired textures that are perfect for capturing favorite outdoor memories.

Layout designer Michele Schmidt put together a stunning, dynamic pinwheel design for this page. By layering together patterned wedges of striped, floral, and vintage-distressed papers, Michele created a striking circular backdrop that draws the eye right to the center. Nestled in a rustic white frame is a sweet photo of a furry friend enjoying the grass, beautifully surrounded by layered dimensional blooms, a charming wildflower seed packet embellishment, and a "Come Find Me in the Garden" title piece. It is the perfect inspiration for anyone looking to play with geometric paper piecing and floral layering. Get ready to gather some new ideas for the next scrapbooking session, and check out the full process video here to see exactly how this whimsical garden page came together piece by piece!












Happiness with Jinny

 Welcome back, My Creative Scrapbook friends!  It’s Jinny here today to showcase a new project inspired by the June Creative Kit.  This month’s kit is absolutely filled to the brim with the bold, bright, happy colors of Simple Stories’ Color Me Happy Collection.  It also includes a fun, Vicki Boutin, splotch stencil; bold, black, letter stickers; and Vicki Boutin Happy Day Stamps.  The latter inspired me so much that you’ll find every last one of them, in some form or another, throughout my compiled pages, beginning with the very first one I put together, before the May chaos began.  Why does May have to be so packed full of activity?!  Fortunately, I survived to finish all four of my designs and be fully prepared for the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer ahead.  Enjoy!


I started this page by strategically stamping, in Jet Black ink, a couple of the images from the stamp set throughout the ruled background paper.  I then smudged Stampin’ Up’s Pumpkin Pie, Lucky Limeade, Coastal Cabana, and Melon Mambo inks through a portion of the stencil in the same way, before splattering everything with those same watered-down shades of ink, as well as Pure Black and Titanium White acrylic paints.  A bunch of printed paper circles were die-cut with my Big Shot; scattered amidst the stamped and stenciled circles; and anchored, at their color changes, with black-threaded, straight, machine stitching.  That set the stage for my photo, which, too, was cut in the shape of a circle and matted with white cardstock.



A large “FUN” ephemera phrase was popped up, with foam tape, alongside the photo itself…



surrounded by lots of ephemera and cardstock sticker circles…



and grounded with a trio of tags, popped up with foam tape and laced with white string, tied in bows and a knot respectively.



A stamped, in Jet Black in, “happy day” phrase receives prominent placement for just such a captured moment.



The “you’re the best” circle was die-cut from a printed paper design.



A trio of cardstock sticker and ephemera phrase bits anchored the left side of my page…



and bring us full circle to the journaling spot above the photo, back where this journey began.  A number of ephemera and cardstock sticker buttons were then anchored with black embroidery thread, throughout my design, to complete the look of my circle play.



Here are a few more of the projects that I created using the June Creative Kit.  I’d love for y’all to stop by my instagram @loftydesignsbyjinny for a closer look!



Thanks so much for visiting today!  As always, I cannot wait to see what y’all cook up this month!  Be sure to stop by the blog, as well as our Design Team Gallery, for lots more fabulous inspiration with every last one of the June kits.  Until next month, y’all, happy scrapping!

Shabby Chic Garden Vibes: Memory Making with Sneha Apte’s June Layout

 There is nothing quite like the magic of a fresh, blooming garden—except, perhaps, capturing that magic forever on a scrapbook page.

For crafters who love soft textures, vintage charm, and layers upon layers of floral beauty, this month's kit is an absolute dream.

In this project, Sneha beautifully frames a darling photo of a sweet, bright-eyed girl holding a bouquet of blooms, echoing that innocent garden charm throughout the entire design. Using the kit's lush patterned papers as a base, she dove deep into the embellishments to build a rich, tactile world around the central distressed photo frame.
