Focus on the Happy: A Retro-Floral Layout with Melissa and the February Main Kit

 Welcome back to the My Creative Scrapbook blog! We are so excited to continue sharing the incredible versatility of our February Main Kit. If you’ve been looking for a way to blend soft, feminine florals with a trendy, retro aesthetic, today’s featured layout by designer Melissa Minor is going to be your new favorite reference.

In this project, Melissa perfectly captures a "bestie gym session" moment, proving that our kits can handle everything from soft memories to high-energy lifestyle shots. By utilizing a clean white background anchored by a hand-stitched circular frame, she creates a focal point that feels both modern and handmade.

What we love about this layout:

  • The Layering: Notice how Melissa stacks the "Happy" speech bubble and the oversized camera ephemera to give the page amazing physical depth.

  • The Textures: Between the glittery camera lens and the torn-edge teal paper, there is a tactile element that makes you want to reach out and touch the page.

  • The Color Balance: The pops of mustard yellow in the "Dream Big" sentiment and the banner perfectly offset the vibrant pinks, creating a balanced, sunny palette.

Whether you’re documenting a personal milestone or just a "happy" Tuesday, this layout is packed with techniques to try. Grab your February Main Kit, and let’s get inspired to create! Be sure to check out Melissa's process here.
