Surfboards Layout by Valerie Bisson

Hi friends! Valerie Bisson here and I’m so happy to share my iNSD 2026 challenge layout with you featuring Paige’s Crafted Moments collection and her Surfboards Cut File which you can find for free in her Happy Scrappy Place Facebook Group for iNSD 2026.

I started with the Made of Sunlight Paper for my background and added in torn strips of cardstock to represent the beach along the bottom, also adding a bit of white paint splatter. Next I used a natural colored paper from my stash to cut the surfboards and backed them with various papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad and the Dream In Color Paper. Next I added some hand stitching, outlining each of the surfboards. To define the edges of the surfboards even more I brushed on some distress ink. I lined up my surfboards, adhering them flat on one edge and using foam squares along the other edge. After this I added my photos which I made in 2 different sizes matted with cardstock. For my title I used the Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers along the top edge of the surfboards making it fun and whimsical. For embellishing I added three clusters with Floral Die Cuts and the Metallic Enamel Dots. I also tucked in a couple of tabs at the top photo and a tag for journaling from the Cardstock Stickers, topping off the tag with a blue dot from the Enamel Shapes. I hope you have fun using all 12 free cut files from iNSD 2026 (as well as previous years!) available from Paige in her Happy Scrappy Place Facebook Group!

Non Stop Crop Layout by Stephanie Draleau

Hey crafty friends! Stephanie Draleau here and I’m so excited to be here with you today showing you how to work with different kinds of mixed media using the Crafted Moments from Paige as well as her NON STOP CROP cut file.

I started with the NON STOP CROP cut file and backed it with all the beautiful papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad. Then I layered Ranger crackle paste through a star stencil. After that dried I ink blended 3 colors of Distress Oxides and I used 3 similar colors of Shimmerz Paints on top of that to peek out from behind my circle but over top of my crackle stars. I embellished with Floral Die Cuts and finished off with some Pops of Color! I hope I have inspired you to try some mixed media on your next layout!

I’ve got a process video over on my channel for you to see details: https://youtu.be/byJAjm5jXHg

Captured Joy Layout by Sophie Delorme

Hello friends! It’s Sophie Delorme on Paige’s blog today sharing a brand new layout. I used Paige’s new Crafted Moments collection and had so much fun playing with my border punches!

I selected several patterned papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad and punched border strips using a few of my border punches. I aligned them in rainbow order along the right side of my black & white photo on a 12x12 white cardstock background. I cut a ¾" mat around my page and mounted the layout on the gorgeous Stay Present Paper. I added a delicate scalloped border around the white cardstock and machine stitched all around it. I finished with a few Floral Die Cuts, Cardstock Stickers, labels from the Ephemera Die Cuts, and stamped the date. I love how it all came together! Border punches truly never go out of style!

She Loves Snacks Layout with Process Video by Paige Evans

Last night I went live for the Create with SCT series on YouTube to make this 12x12 layout using my Crafted Moments collection with Pinkfresh Studio! I call this a patchwork paper background :)

Watch the process video here:

Here is the cutting guide if you want to cut your papers to the exact same dimensions:

I started with a light blue textured cardstock background and then cut all the paper pieces from the 6x8 Paper Pad. After gluing the papers across the lower 2/3rds of the background I curled up the edges to create texture & dimension. Across the top I added a strip of the pastel plaid Inner Glow Paper.

A 3x4" photo of Jane eating her airplane snacks sits on the top left corner and then I created the title with the navy Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers. I added just a few embellishments to let the pretty patterned papers shine: Rub-Ons-turned-die cuts, a little sentiment pennant from the Cardstock Stickers, a couple Ephemera Die Cuts, a blue label where I still need to stamp the date from the Puffy Stickers, a frame from the Chipboard Stickers that I cut in half to top the photo, and finished with a sprinkling of hearts from the Enamel Shapes. Love how it turned out and hope you're inspired to scraplift!

Together Layout by Rochi Villegas

Hello crafty friends! Rochi Villegas here sharing the layout I created for iNSD 2026 in Paige’s Happy Scrappy Place Facebook Group using the beautiful Crafted Moments collection and featuring photos of me and my daughters hiking by the beach.

My challenge is called THREES and it’s all about using elements in groups of three to create a balanced and cohesive layout. I started with white cardstock as my background and here’s how I used THREES:  three strips of patterned paper on the top and bottom of the page. Then I arranged my three photos in a horizontal design for balance. Next, I added three Floral Die Cuts to guide the eye across the page and included three sentiments to enhance the storytelling. Lastly, I placed three single Floral Die Cuts in the middle of the page. As always, I added my journaling on the back of the tag. Using THREES was such a fun way to create and I hope it inspires you to create your own version. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Book Club Fun Layout by Nicole Santos

Hey all! Nicole Santos here and today I'm sharing this beautiful layout using Crafted Moments and one of the awesome Layered Flower cut files from Paige!

I used the 12x12 Paper Pack and the Layered Flower cut file to make this big dramatic flower in the middle of the purple Worth Remembering Paper background. I grabbed a journaling spot from the Ephemera Die Cuts to write down all the important details of this layout. I then added three flowers from the Floral Die Cuts. The title was made with a mix of the blue Puffy Alpha Stickers from LEGENDARY and the gold Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers from Lovely Lane. I finished off this layout with some splatters of gold paint from my stash. I hope it gets you into a crafty mood with the Crafted Moments collection!

Mix It Up Layout by Monique Lowe

Hello creative friends! Monique Lowe here with a new layout to share. I created this page as part of the fun over in Paige’s Happy Scrappy Facebook Group for iNSD - specifically Challenge 7: Mix It Up! The idea was to use two or more collections on one layout and I may have taken that as a gentle nudge to dive into three of my favorites!

For this page, I combined pieces from Crafted Moments, Lovely Lane, and a little touch of Legendary. Mixing collections can sometimes feel a bit daunting, but I found that sticking to a cohesive color palette made everything come together beautifully. I started with a plain sheet of lilac cardstock as my background and layered a 9x9" piece of white cardstock on top. Before adhering it down, I added a soft touch of watercolor using the packaging technique on the bottom right and top left corners - this creates a subtle diagonal flow that helps guide the eye across the page. Once dry, I centered it onto the lilac background. Next came the fun part - patterned papers! With help from my daughter (since this layout is all about her), we picked out a selection from the 6x8 paper pads across all three collections. She chose her favorite colors which made the process even more special. I cut the papers into strips and played around with layering them, adjusting lengths and combinations until it felt just right. Once happy, I adhered them in a vertical design with the strips running horizontally. I then added machine stitching down the center of each strip for texture and detail.

For the photo, I used a black & white image and backed it with tissue paper and Enjoy the Pause Paper. I placed the photo towards the bottom right of the layout to anchor the design. The title was added using Rub-On Transfer - simple but effective! Then I moved on to embellishing which is always my favorite part. I tucked Floral Die Cuts into the layered strips, added some fussy-cut butterflies, and included word phrase strips from the Ephemera Die Cuts. I also incorporated Chipboard Stickers and Cardstock Stickers to build dimension and interest. To finish it all off, I added three small clusters of Enamel Shapes and a touch of sparkle to the center of each flower - because a little shimmer always makes a page feel complete. Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope this layout inspires you to mix things up, combine collections, and most importantly, document the memories that matter most.

Circles Layout by Jackie Ashton

Hello! Jackie Ashton here with a scrapbook layout using Paige's Crafted Moments collection featuring circles!

I love to create a layout that involve a shape, so for this one I chose circles. I had so much fun selecting the various patterned papers from Crafted Moments and used circle dies and punches to make the shapes. I cascaded the circles down the center of my layout and also adding a few hand stitched circles and stamped circle images. To embellish I adhered Floral Die Cuts and used the navy Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers to make the title. I just love how this layout came together!

Floral Wreath Layout by Inessa Persekian

Hi friends! Inessa Persekian here and today I’m so excited to share my iNSD 2026 challenge layout using Paige's Crafted Moments collection!

I started with the Worth Remembering Paper featuring that beautiful large wreath as my background. It was the perfect base to really let the details shine. I added my 3x4 photos and then layered Floral & Butterfly Die Cuts around the wreath for dimension. I also cut out a bow from the Beauty Ahead Paper and added it at the top. To bring the layout to life, I went all in with Metallic Enamel Dots, Enamel Shapes, and lots of sequins from my stash. I scattered them throughout the wreath to add texture, sparkle, and a fun pop of dimension. It’s such an easy way to elevate your page and make it feel extra special!

Special Moments Layout by Audrey Mutschall

Hello friends! Audrey Mutschall here sharing the layout I created for International Scrapbook Day 2026 in Paige's Happy Scrappy Place Facebook Group! My challenge was to create a wreath layout. Wreath layouts are some of my favorite to make because there are so many possibilities: you can use flowers, leaves, a cut file, or simply arrange die cuts and ephemera into a wreath shape.

For this layout I cut out lots of heart-shaped rosettes using various patterned papers from Paige’s new Crafted Moments collection. I arranged the rosettes into a wreath shape on a piece of white cardstock and then embellished them with Puffy Stickers, Chipboard Stickers, fussy cut elements, and Ephemera Die Cuts. I placed a family photo taken at my grandma’s 90th birthday party in the center of the wreath and then added a few Ephemera Die Cuts around it. I cut a strip off the bottom of my page and added a piece of the Stay Curious Paper behind my white background. Lastly, I added a border of stitching in blue and pink embroidery floss at the bottom of the page for a whimsical, homemade touch. I hope this inspires you to check out Paige’s beautiful new collection called Crafted Moments and to pop on over to her Happy Scrappy Place Facebook Group to see all the fun layouts made for iNSD 2026!

Quilt Heart for Stitching Layout by Paige Evans

Here is a layout that I created earlier this year for our Take Note Virtual Weekend using the Take Note collection by Simple Stories and featuring my Quilt Heart for Stitching Cut File!

I cut the Quilt Heart for Stitching Cut File from white textured cardstock and then stitched the vertical lines of connecting dots for each of the 20 triangles. Each triangle takes about 5 minutes to stitch so about 2 hours of stitching time. Totally worth it :)

A 3x4” selfie on the lower left side and a smattering of little flowers, butterflies, hearts, and self-adhesive brads adorn the heart. I created a title cluster and wrote a bit of journaling on a label die cut to finish up this fun page!
