Timeless Textures & Floral Flourishes: Joanne Bartell’s Latest LE Creation

 Welcome back to the My Creative Scrapbook blog!

There is something profoundly moving about working with vintage photographs. They carry a weight of history and a quiet beauty that demands a special kind of storytelling. This month, designer Joanne Bartell has taken our January Limited Edition kit and created a masterpiece that perfectly balances nostalgia with intricate, modern artistry.

In her latest layout, titled "Forever," Joanne showcases how to use the kit’s rich textures and romantic embellishments to frame the faces of those who came before us. By layering delicate fussy-cut butterflies, dimensional paper blooms, and vintage-inspired ephemera like clock faces and admission tickets, she creates a sense of "time standing still." The soft blue and deep burgundy tones of the kit provide a sophisticated backdrop for the black-and-white portraits, proving that while moments may fade, the memories we preserve in our albums truly do last forever.

Join Joanne here as she shows us her process - the stunning details, clever clusters, and heartfelt design choices that make this project a standout feature of the January LE kit.
