My Creative Scrapbook: A Layout with Heart - with Michele and the LE Kit

My Creative Scrapbook is excited to feature this beautiful layout by Michele Schmidt, created with our latest Limited Edition (LE) Kit. This project is a stunning example of how to build a layered and whimsical design that celebrates a beloved pet.

The layout begins with a charming, soft pink patterned paper that sets a gentle, romantic tone. A larger, lighter frame created with this months cut file is used to create a central focus, drawing the eye inward. Within this frame, Michele masterfully layers different elements, including a smaller, light blue mat that makes the central photo of a fluffy, black and white dog pop.

Michele uses the included ephemera to bring a touch of nostalgia and sweetness to the design. A die-cut with a sweet dog illustration is a focal point, with a tag that reads, "and suddenly you made my heart smile," perfectly capturing the sentiment of the page. The use of soft pinks, light blues, and hints of mint green creates a cohesive and dreamy color palette.

The mixed media elements are subtle yet impactful. Splatters of black and pink ink create a sense of movement and texture across the background.  Stencil work and layered stamping add to the handcrafted feel. The layout is further adorned with lovely floral clusters, a sweet cherry cluster and bow, and die-cut elements like a fox and a dancing girl, which add a magical, fairytale-like quality to the page.

This project is a perfect showcase of the My Creative Scrapbook Limited Edition Kit. It demonstrates how to combine various papers, embellishments, and mixed media techniques to create a heartfelt and intricate layout that is both personal and visually captivating.  You can watch the process here https://youtu.be/Ul8kpJQgIXA
