Timeless Moments: Layering with Joanne and the February Limited Edition Kit

 Capturing Forever: Soft Florals Meet Vintage Industrial with our February LE Kit

There is something truly magical about the way a memory comes to life when you find the perfect balance of textures and tones. This month, we are swooning over this breathtaking layout by the talented Joanne Bartell, featuring our February Limited Edition Kit.

Joanne has perfectly captured a "Moment Like These," using a sophisticated palette of dusty lavender, cream, and sage. What makes this piece stand out is her expert use of contrast; she seamlessly tucks delicate, fussy-cut roses alongside vintage gears, ticket stubs, and industrial piping. The result is a page that feels both romantic and wonderfully grounded.

By playing with torn paper edges, 3D foam for depth, and scattered crystal drops, Joanne invites us into a scene that feels as timeless as the photo it holds. Whether you’re documenting a wedding, an anniversary, or a quiet moment of joy, this layout proves that you don't have to choose between "shabby chic" and "vintage industrial"—you can have the best of both worlds.

Hello, Real Life! With Melissa and the Main Kit

 Whether you’re documenting the daily grind or those spontaneous moments with friends, the February Main Kit is here to help you tell your story with style. Today, we’re featuring a fabulous layout by Design Team member Melissa Minor, who perfectly captures the energy of "Real Life" using the kit’s retro-inspired elements and playful patterns.

Melissa’s project, "Hostess Life," showcases how to balance bold black-and-white camera prints with soft pastels and whimsical embellishments. From the torn paper edges to the perfectly placed splatters, this layout is a masterclass in adding texture and personality to your pages.

Design Tip from Melissa’s Layout

Notice how Melissa used the "Hello" puffy title to bridge the gap between her photo and the journaling. By overlapping the title onto the photo slightly, she creates a cohesive focal point that draws the eye straight to the fun selfie!  Follow along with Melissa as she shows you her process here.
