Happy Days Layout by Audrey Mutschall

Thursday, April 17, 2025

Hello friends! Audrey Mutschall here with a new layout featuring Paige’s beautiful Adventurous collection. I had so much fun imagining a little scene and then bringing it to life with some of the adorable elements included in Adventurous.

I started by cutting ‘hills’ out of Paper 3, Paper 21, and Paper 22. I added a border of stitching in coordinating embroidery floss and then layered the hills on top of one another over a sheet of white cardstock. I also used blue patterned paper from the 12x12 Project Pad to create a little section of ‘ocean’ in the background. Next, I cut clouds from Paper 2, stitched around them with white embroidery floss, and added them to the sky. I used a chipboard frame from the Chipboard Shapes to frame a photo of my daughter and placed this in the foreground. Lastly, I embellished the scene using fussy cut elements from Paper 6, more Chipboard Shapes, Floral Die Cuts, fussy cut butterflies from Paper 19, Mini Thickers, and Cardstock Stickers.

SUPPLIES: Patterned papers, die cuts, washi tape, stickers: ADVENTUROUS; white cardstock

Flower Frame Layout by Valerie Bisson

Tuesday, April 15, 2025

Hi crafty friends! Valerie Bisson here today and I’m so happy to share a new layout with you. My page features Paige's Flower Frame Cut File paired with several of her collections.

To begin I chose Bazzill Jetstream cardstock for my background - I love this pale shade of blue, it works perfectly for so many pages. Then for the Flower Frame Cut File I used paper 22 from Garden Shoppe and backed it simply in white, green and yellow. Next I matted my photo and placed it in the center popped up with dimensional foam adhesive. The technique for embellishing my page is such a fun one that I have done several times before by adding in various stickers and die cuts to fill in the empty space. The best way to achieve this look is by starting with your photo and title, then the biggest embellishments next and working your way down to the tiniest of embellishments filling in the space. I used a variety of stickers, die cuts, and charms including cardstock stickers, chipboard, puffy stickers and phrases, layered embellishments, foam stickers, pieces from sticker books and thickers. Collections represented are Adventurous, Blooming Wild, Garden Shoppe, and Splendid. I also added in enamel dots and tiny punched flowers & butterflies from my stash. Lastly I splattered white paint around the edges. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have some fun with Paige’s Cut Files and collections!

Turning Nine Layout by Sophie Delorme

Monday, April 14, 2025

Hello scrappy friends! It's Sophie Delorme here with you today using a cut file from Paige called Nine paired with her Bloom Street collection which is retired but can still be found digitally for printing at home.

I created a mixed media background in different shades of green. I cut the Nine from white cardstock and popped the inner pieces that were fussy cut out of several patterned papers from the Bloom Street collection. I centered the cut file on the page and hand stitched the white border with white thread. I printed my photo in black & white. It is a photo celebrating the 9th birthday of my sweet dog. I scattered beautiful florals and leaves on the page, around my photo and title, and stamped the date. I hope that you like this page! Thank you for stopping by and happy crafting!

Stitched Background Layout by Paige Evans

Sunday, April 13, 2025

Hello scrappy friends! Here is one of the four layouts that I made with the Whatevs collection by American Crafts and you can find the instructions in my Whatevs Layouts Class PDF.

This funky paper was just begging to be stitched! After piercing the holes by hand I backstitched with coordinating thread and used all 6 strands of DMC embroidery floss for the ultimate thickness.

The photos are of Fox & Jane after a torrential downpour at the pineapple plantation so the title seemed appropriate :) I created the photo and title cluster in the center so not a whole lot of time consuming stitching was covered.

Let me know if you have any questions, be sure to check out my Whatevs Layouts Class PDF, and have a happy scrappy day!

Camera-Shaped Mini Album Class

Saturday, April 12, 2025

I love a shaped album! And cute storage solutions! Combine them together and in my new virtual class we learn how to create a fun camera-shaped mini album in a cute camera-shaped storage box!

PLEASE NOTE: AN ELECTRONIC CUTTING MACHINE SUCH AS A CRICUT OR CAMEO IS REQUIRED FOR THIS CLASS TO MAKE THE CAMERA BOX PIECES AND PAGES.

CAMERA MINI ALBUM CLASS

The Whatevs Collection by American Crafts is a funny & sarcastic line perfect for documenting all those eye-roll, not-so-happy, “meh” moments. Since my two kids are both basically teenagers (Fox is 14 and Jane will be 13 in a few months - my how time flies!) this collection is absolutely perfect for highlighting their typical teenage angst over the past year. Or you can feature many other themes and occasions since “Whatevs” is very versatile and the colors are peppy & bright!

The camera-shaped mini album features 14 spreads / 28 pages front & back, a 4 hour start-to-finish video tutorial, and it holds 24+ photos of various sizes. Techniques include hand stitching, embellishment clusters, fun layering, and a 3D box. This project is so fun to put together and holds lots of precious memories!

After purchasing my Camera-Shaped Mini Album Virtual Class, Ecwid will email you the PDF that contains a list of supplies to have on hand, photo sizes, templates, cut files, written instructions, and the YouTube video tutorial link on the first page.

The class is pre-recorded so you can go at your own pace and the video is saved for watching whenever you have time.

I had so much fun putting this class together and hope you'll love creating it!!

Let me know if you have any questions, thank you so much, and have a happy scrappy day!
