Lovely Layout by Paige Evans

Hello scrappy friends, happy Wednesday! This is the 4th layout that I taught how to create at Frank Garcia Studio recently using my Lovely Lane collection and you can purchase the class PDF which includes all instructions and templates/cut files needed to make all 4 layouts for $10 HERE, OR, this class PDF as well as two others are free with the purchase of my Lovely Lane & Legendary collections bundle.

This layout features a hand stitched grid on a white cardstock background then filled in tic-tac-toe style with round patterned papers and square photos. Layered embellishments on top add interest, pops of color, and tie in with the florals on Jane's shirt. 

To create more depth and dimension, I popped the circles up with foam squares and gently bent up the petals and leaves of the floral die cuts. I wrote a bit of journaling with a light blue pen under the bottom right photo.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to pick up my Lovely Lane & Legendary collections to get the class PDF for this layout plus 3 more and 2 mini albums!

Friends Layout by Jackie Ashton

Hello everyone! Jackie Ashton here sharing my new Design Team layout featuring Paige's Lovely Lane collection!

For this layout I used a selection of the papers from 6x8 Paper Pad, adding them in blocks vertically down the middle of a white cardstock background. I did a punched border on one of the patterned papers and added pom pom trim to add texture. I love that this collection has Rub-Ons which I’ve added around my layout. To embellish I added two of the hexagons from the Chipboard Stickers which I cut in half and added to each side of the patterned paper. More Chipboard Stickers, Layered Stickers, and Cardstock Stickers were added around my page. For the small cluster at the top right, I added two stars from the Hearts & Stars Die Cuts, overlapping with a phrase from the Cardstock Stickers. For my title I used a mix of the Puffy Alpha Stickers & Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers. I finished with clusters of Enamel Dots. I hope you have found some inspiration from this layout!

Hello Fall Layout by Inessa Persekian

Inessa Persekian here today with a new layout using Paige's Tricks & Treats collection!

For this fall-inspired layout, I started with a textured white cardstock base layered with a Floral Transparency. I cut out the center to create an 11x11" opening and stitched it down with my sewing machine for some added detail. The star of this page is the embroidered pumpkins from the Embroidery Kit. I built my floral cluster around them, popping up the pumpkins and a few florals for dimension. I tucked in extra pieces from the Floral Die Cuts to bring it all together. For the photo, I added a handmade tag using the barcode strip from Paper 1, finishing it with three different baker's twine colors tied at the top. To balance the design, I created a banner focal point using a mix of Ephemera Die Cut banners, popping up the pumpkin banner for extra dimension. My title, “HELLO FALL” is spelled out with the Mini Foam Thickers layered over a journaling spot from the Ephemera Die Cuts. A few Enamel Dots scattered across the page finish it off perfectly. I love how this layout turned out and hope it inspires your next fall project. See you next time!

Dipped Leaves Layout by Audrey Mutschall

Hello friends! Audrey Mutschall here with an autumn layout featuring Paige’s Dipped Leaves cut file and her amazing Tricks & Treats collection! Though it’s technically a Halloween collection, there are lots of pretty papers and elements that can easily be used to make a fall-themed layout. I had so much fun putting this one together.

I started by cutting lots of Dipped Leaves from plaid Paper 7, orange Paper 9, turquoise Paper 11, and plain white cardstock. I placed a few of the leaves onto vellum and cut around them to make translucent leaves to add to the mix. I chose textured white cardstock for the background and added watercolor paint splatters in a circular shape. Next I arranged the leaves into a wreath shape, adhering them with tiny pieces of foam tape. I used a frame from the Foam Stickers around my photo and then embellished with fussy cut flowers from Paper 1, pumpkins from the Floral Die Cuts, and sentiment stickers from both the Adventurous and Happy Haven collections. Lastly, I added torn strips from Paper 1 at the top and bottom of the layout and glued sequins in a few places for some extra sparkle!

Farmstead Harvest 6x8 Scrapbook by Paige Evans

Last fall I made a 6x8 scrapbook using the Farmstead Harvest collection by American Crafts along with a 3-hour virtual class which you can check out HERE!

Here is a flip through of this scrapbook:

There are 26 spreads/52 pages front & back and it holds 56+ photos of various sizes. Techniques include hand stitching, backing cut files, a leaf wreath, interactive flips & flaps, 23 ribbons attached to the edges for the most beautiFALL finishing touch, and so much more!

When I saw this leaves paper I could envision them embroidered and so that's exactly what I did for the cover. Labor of love for sure but I absolutely think it was worth it!

After class I clipped on a fun tassel charm. 

The opening page is a large sequin pocket.

Can't have a scrapbook without a backed cut file! :)

I filled this scrapbook with photos from our annual family photoshoot in a sunflower field from fall 2023.

Love this sunflower tab cut file for a fun flip element.

Hidden pockets are a great place for journaling.

I had the entire family get involved and write things they're thankful for.

Pocket pages with little bits for the win.

Quilts and hand stitching go hand-in-hand.

A fall wreath made of punched patterned paper leaves.

Take a look at some of the additional pages and spread throughout this album:
