Good Things (Umbrella Cut File) Layout by Paige Evans

Here is layout I made with the Take Note collection by Simple Stories and my Umbrella Cut File!

Instead of traditionally backing each segment of the Umbrella with a different patterned paper, I opted to back the majority with one colorful striped paper - this made the backing process soooo much quicker than usual! I backed the handle with a yellow paper and the bow with a red paper.

I flipped the backed Umbrella upside down onto a light blue cardstock background and then "filled" it with photos and lots of floral and butterfly embellishments. A little spritzing of white acrylic paint ties everything together and mimics rain. Thanks for stopping by!

Love This Lake Life Layout by Valerie Bisson

Hi friends! Valerie Bisson here today and I’m so happy to share a summer layout with you featuring Paige’s Love This Lake Life cut file and her Crafted Moments collection.

I started with the green leafy side of the Crafted Moments Paper for the background and added a little white paint splattered down the middle, trying to avoid it going all the way to the left and right edges. With the Made of Sunlight Paper I took a wavy border punch with stitching holes and punched two strips trimming them each to a 0.5x12". Then I hand stitched along each piece using a back stitch. Next I cut the Love This Lake Life from white cardstock and backed the "LOVE" and "LAKE" with purple paper and popped up the "THIS" and "LIFE" with blue papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad. Since I had printed out two copies of my photo I decided to use both of them layered up and stapled for a casual feel. When layering your photos like this and you’re not sure what kind of angle to place them, my suggestion would be to make sure the top one is straight. I chose to add a subtitle at the bottom of the photo with the navy Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers. Pieces from the Cardstock Stickers, Chipboard Stickers, Ephemera Die Cuts, Rub-On Transfers (for the sunshine rub-on I added it to a piece of vellum then onto the center of the "O") and Enamel Shapes scattered throughout the layout. Lastly some punched butterflies in three spots to carry the eye all around. Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you’re enjoying your summer and finding time for a little creativity.

A Tiny Piece of Happiness Layout by Sophie Delorme

Hello scrapbook friends! It’s Sophie Delorme on Paige’s blog today and I'm so excited to share a new layout with you! For this page I used the Crafted Moments collection along with a beautiful cut file from Paige called Petals Background.

I edited the Petals Background cut file to erase the bottom portion then cut it out of white cardstock. I trimmed the cardstock in half and created a lovely floral border using one of my border punches. I backed the cut file with several patterned papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad then hand stitched around the edge of every petal with matching thread for a little extra texture. I placed this white cardstock piece on the upper part of a gorgeous blue 12x12 cardstock that ties in perfectly with the collection. My colored photo sits a bit crooked on the right side of the page, surrounded by beautiful Floral Die Cuts cascading down the blue background. On the left of the photo, I added a floral sentiment heart from the Ephemera Die Cuts that serves as my title. To finish things off, I included two labels from the Ephemera Die Cuts for my journaling, stamped the date, and created a sweet little flower cluster at the very bottom of the page. I absolutely adore how this one turned out! Have an amazing crafty day!

Captured Joy Layout by Rochi Villegas

Hello crafty friends! Rochi Villegas here and today I’m sharing a bright and cheerful summer layout I’ve made with Paige's Crafted Moments collection paired with her Tropical Drinks Cut File.

I began with the yellow Beauty Ahead Paper as my background and layered it over a soft blue cardstock to create a subtle frame. Then I added white cardstock in the center to give the Tropical Drinks room to stand out. I backed each section of the Tropical Drinks with different patterned papers. Once the cut file was in place, I added my photo toward the upper right side of the page, layering it with blue cardstock. Next came my favorite part - decorating! I fussy cut florals and fruits from the Worth Remembering Paper and Inner Glow Paper and I tucked them around the tropical drinks. The fruit accents and tropical florals really helped reinforce the sunny summer theme. To finish the layout, I added my title "Captured Joy" from the Rub-On Transfers which perfectly describes this happy memory. As always, I like to keep my journaling hidden - I tucked it behind the photo on the right side of the layout and added a cute lemon as a pull tab so it slides out just like a tag. I love adding these little interactive details to my scrapbook pages! Thank you so much for stopping by and happy crafting!

Birthday Cake Layout by Nicole Santos

Hey all! Nicole Santos here with my newest creation using Paige's Crafted Moments collection.

I started this layout with a mixed media background that I created with blue Shimmerz paints. I then added several torn layers of Crafted Moments papers across the middle of the page then put my row of photos on top. For the title I used the pink Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers. I then added some frame Chipboard Stickers and a heart. I also added Cardstock Stickers, Rub-On Transfers, Floral Die Cuts, and Enamel Shapes to make it complete! I hope this gives you some ideas on how to use your Crafted Moments collection! Thanks for popping in!

Stitched Hearts Background Layout by Paige Evans

The satin stitch is my current favorite stitch! This layout features my Heart Background for Stitching Cut File and the Take Note collection by Simple Stories.

I used 9 different DMC embroidery threads to stitch the hearts: 353, 580, 676, 922, 993, 3689, 3712, 3806, and 3811. It takes about 5 minutes to stitch each heart and there are 48 hearts which equals about 4 hours of stitching time. I love this quick & easy technique of stitching to fill in lots of space!

I didn't want to cover much of the stitched background so I created a photo cluster on the middle right side with a 3x4" photo, chipboard title, die cuts, and a few stickers. I also topped most of the stitched hearts with a tiny tone-on-tone embellishment.

Disneyland (Chipboard Frames) Layout by Paige Evans

Happy Saturday scrappy friends! Here is a layout I made featuring the Chipboard Stickers from my Crafted Moments collection with Pinkfresh Studio!

I started with a dark blue textured cardstock background and then drew a border with a white pen. I backed 9 of the chipboard frames with photos of Fox & Jane at Disneyland and then placed them onto the background along with a few more chipboard stickers.

I embellished with a heart Rub-On Transfer, Cardstock Stickers, Ephemera Die Cuts, Floral Die Cuts, and heart Enamel Shapes.
Simple & sweet!!

Dream Big (Stitched Scallops Borders) Layout by Paige Evans

Yes yes, another stitching page :) For this layout I used my Scalloped Borders for Stitching Cut File paired with both my Crafted Moments collection and the Take Note collection from Simple Stories.

First I cut the Scalloped Borders for Stitching from light purple cardstock (called Morning Glory) and then I used 12 DMC thread colors to match Crafted Moments to backstitch through: dark purple #33, light pink #3689, yellow #727, light blue #3753, dark pink #961, mint green #164, periwinkle #156, orange #977, green #166, bubblegum pink #3608, aque #3811, and green #367. It takes about an hour to stitch each scalloped border so about 12 hours of time to hand stitch this entire background. It’s a labor of love but so worth the results! This would also look really cool with a chain stitch.

I layered two 3x4" photos of me & Chris on our 19th anniversary at Disney World and embellished with a few bits & pieces from Crafted Moments and Take Note. Thanks for taking a look and have a happy scrappy weekend!

Wild At Heart Layout by Monique Lowe

Hello creative friends! Monique Lowe here sharing my final DT layout using Paige's Crafted Moments collection from Pinkfresh Studio!

I started off with the beautiful Worth Remembering Paper - the printed floral wreath does so much of the work for you, making it perfect when you're short on time! Next, I carefully lifted some of the petals with a craft knife before tucking in my two photos which I backed with distressed papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad. Then, I embellished with fussy-cut yellow butterflies from the Full of Hope Paper and the coordinating paper from the 6x8 Paper Pad, adding a few Floral Die Cuts around my photos. I finished the layout with a postage stamp Ephemera Die Cut, a title using the pink Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers, and a sprinkle of sequins from my stash for a little sparkle.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope this layout inspires you to get creative with the Crafted Moments collection. Papers like the floral wreath Worth Remembering Paper make creating beautiful layouts so quick and easy!

The Harry Potter Tree Layout by Jackie Ashton

Hello! Jackie Ashton here sharing a layout using Paige's Crafted Moments collection.

I recently had the chance to document a lovely visit to Blenheim Palace, including a visit to the Harry Potter Tree, so I couldn’t resist creating a scrapbook page to capture the memories. The Crafted Moments collection was perfect for this layout with its pretty colors and fun patterns. I started with the patterned hexagons Crafted Moments Paper and cut a central strip away, leaving the lovely hexagon design on either side of my layout. To add a little extra texture, I hand stitched around a few of the hexagons, adding an additional detail to the background. I added some stenciling to my white cardstock before placing the patterned paper over the top, giving the background extra interest without making it too busy. I then backed my photographs with papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad, layering them together to create a fun photo cluster. For my title, I used the navy Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers and finished everything off with Chipboard Stickers, Enamel Shapes, Ephemera Die Cuts, and Rub-On Transfers around the page. These little finishing touches helped to bring the whole page together. I love how this layout turned out and how it captures such a special day! Visiting Blenheim Palace and seeing the Harry Potter Tree was such a fun experience and now I have a colorful page to remind me of our visit!

Disneyland Paris Layout by Inessa Persekian

Hey friends, Inessa Persekian here and there is nothing better than finding the perfect cut file and patterned papers to complement a special photo - especially when that photo was taken at Disneyland Paris! In this case it's Paige's Castle Cut File paired with her Crafted Moments collection.

The Castle is detailed and intricate, making it an ideal centerpiece for this layout. I backed each section with a variety of patterns and prints from Crafted Moments. This process took a few hours to complete, but I truly enjoyed selecting the papers and watching the castle slowly come to life. Once the entire cut file was backed, I used foam adhesive to pop it up from the background paper - this created even more depth and helped the detailed castle stand out. I then added my photo, layered in a few beautiful Floral Die Cuts, and finished the layout with a title made with the pink Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers layered over label Ephemera Die Cuts. Although backing an intricate cut file can take a little extra time, the final result is always worth it! I hope this layout inspires you to grab a favorite cut file, choose some beautiful patterned papers, and start crafting!
