You and Me Layout by Jackie Ashton

Wednesday, February 4, 2026

Hello everyone! Jackie Ashton here with my next Design Team layout using Paige's Lovely Lane collection with Pinkfresh Studio.

I started with various strips of patterned papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad added down the left side and across the length of my white cardstock background. I slightly distressed the edges to give them some definition. I matted two 3x4" photos with papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad and added it to the layout. In each cluster, which I added around my photographs, I included a Layered Sticker, a heart from the Hearts & Stars Die Cuts, Enamel Dots, and Chipboard Stickers. I also added a mini cluster to the top right using patterned papers and a Chipboard Sticker. For my title I combined Puffy Alpha Stickers and Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers to the right of my photographs. I love how this came together and hope it inspires you to use the 6x8 Paper Pad!

Flower & Heart Wreath Layout by Inessa Persekian

Tuesday, February 3, 2026

Hey friends! Inessa Persekian here and this layout just makes my heart so happy! I used Paige's Lovely Lane collection from Pinkfresh Studio to document one of my favorite recent moments - our new pup Paisley taking a nap in my arms.

For this page, I really leaned into the Floral Die Cuts and Hearts Die Cuts to create a soft wreath design that frames the 3x4" photos perfectly. I love how the mix of florals and hearts feels cozy, sweet, and full of love - which felt exactly right for a brand-new puppy page. I used the Puffy Alpha Stickers for the title, added a few Layered Stickers and Cardstock Stickers for subtle detail, and finished it off with small Puffy Stickers and Enamel Dots for just the right amount of dimension and shine. The Brave Heart Paper was the perfect grounding base to let all those pretty details stand out. This page is such a sweet reminder that the everyday moments - especially the furry ones - deserve to be documented too!

Stitched Books Layout by Audrey Mutschall

Monday, February 2, 2026

Hello friends! Audrey Mutschall here with a school-themed layout featuring Paige’s amazing Legendary collection.

My son Dylan absolutely loves reading so I made a page with lots of books to document his grade eight school portrait. I started by gathering the yellow, blue, and green patterned papers from the 12x12 Paper Pack and chose six of them for my books. The specific papers I used are Creative Energy, Life in Progress, On Repeat (both sides), Next Level Content, and Real Life. To make the books I cut out rectangles in various sizes, rounded the corners just a little, and then added hand-stitched borders in coordinating embroidery floss colors. The stitching isn’t necessary, but I love the texture it creates! I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out a brick pattern on white cardstock for my background and then arranged the books on the page. I added my photo on top of a stack of books, and embellished around it with patterned papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad, Ephemera Die Cuts, Journaling Die Cuts, and a Cardstock Sticker. I added titles to my books using the Fabric Borders and Chipboard Phrase Stickers. I had so much fun creating this school-themed page and I hope it inspires you to check out Paige’s Legendary collection!

January 2026 Highlights

Sunday, February 1, 2026

Here's what we were up to the first month of 2026!

This is the life. Watching baking shows with my kids with one of my kitties on my lap.

Amy loooooooves Jane. Especially her hair.

Amy also loooooooves Fox! She's such a sweetie peatie.

It snowed quite a bit one night but very surprisingly they didn't cancel school the next morning!

This is where Fox does virtual piano lessons with Aunt Bethany. He does NOT like all the little bugs that are on the plants... Sorry Foxy.

Margi came over so I could help her create "mystery books" for her events. I'm sure I've confessed this before, but I do NOT enjoy wrapping presents, I leave all that to Chris. I want my creations to last a lifetime not ripped right open and tossed in the trash!

I was toying with the idea of getting mini tattoos on my fingers and bought temporary ones to test out my vision. It's not exactly how I envisioned so no tattoos for me.

I've been trying for YEARS to figure out why I always feel sick and have headaches. Thankfully I've gotten my headaches mostly under control with hormone replacement therapy. But I still always feel sick. I'm doing testing through Function Health and had to give 12 vials of blood three times!! When all three different phlebotomists were drawing blood I told them I felt like I was being exsanguinated. They had no idea what that meant. I learned the reference on the X-Files. How do they not know that term, it's directly related to draining of blood lol.

We read a book about how to feel better and have been focusing on better/clean eating. Chris is an amazing cook.

Always love getting my hair done, my stylist curls my hair to perfection which I can never replicated.

Chris is my fitness coach and helps me heavy lift every Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday and I'm super proud of the progress & gains I've made. We're swolemates!

Love this mantra.

The girls (me, my mom, my sister Allie, and my sister-in-la Tanya) are planning to run in the 5k Rock'n'Roll in Las Vegas next month. I've never run in anything in my life. So I've been doing some prep and pre-ran my first 5k at home on the treadmill. It was hard.

**********************************************************************************
Of course the kitty cats are what I take the most pictures of because I'm always home and they're always with me! Sandy rarely sleeps up on the bed so I take a picture when it does happen.

Top left: making sure I do my exercises. Top right: making sure I get dressed safely and properly. Bottom left: making sure I watch enough TV. Bottom right: su"purr"visors sleeping on the job.

Sweet Sandy-Sue throughout the month.

Amy-Wamy throughout the month.

Poor Phoebe has stopped eating again. Not this whole ordeal again!! I'm taking her back to the vet next week.

Amy is a Broncos fan :)

Speaking of the Broncos! I have been such a huge fan of our Broncos for two years now. I manifested on their very first kick-off that we'd win the Super Bowl! We have done sooooooo well this season! #1 in the NFL through week 18!!

I've got tons of merch to show my pride!

LIX rhymes with NIX (as in, our quarterback Bo Nix) so it was meant to be!

We beat the Buffalo Bills with THE Josh Allen! Yeah we did! Onto the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP BABY!

Bo Nix gave some interviews and all seemed well and good.

And then. This. Bo Nix broke his ankle (even in the above photo during his interviews, his ankle was broken!). I LITERALLY did not sleep that night, I was soooooo upset! Isn't that silly? Who am I?!

Time to STIDDY-UP Jarrett Stidham!

Things were looking pretty good! And then it snowed and everything fell apart at the stupid Patriots won. It was such a sad end to a very promising season.

I wanted it to be Broncos vs Seahawks in the Super Bowl. The Seahawks are my parent's/brother's team because they live in Seattle and I lived in Seattle for 8 years and that's where we'd go to visit my parents up until recently when they moved to Spokane which is still in Washington state. So the Seahawks are like my #2 team. Alas. Not this year. Maybe next season!!

This made me giggle.
