Sweet & Spooky Layout by Paige Evans

2026-09-30T05:00:00.000-06:00

Hello scrappy friends! Here is a grid based layout that I made with BooVille!

I used my Grid for Stitching Cut File on a light pink textured cardstock base and did a chain stitch through the holes with light pink thread. In each segment I added a cluster of embellishments with a small square black & white photo in the center. Notice the spiderweb rub-ons in the corners - too cute to spook! I loved making this layout!

Spooktacular at Disneyland Layout by Paige Evans

2026-09-20T05:00:00.000-06:00

How fitting to share a Disneyland-themed layout when we are currently at Disneyland for our annual dose of Halloween magic!! I love to utilize the cover sheet from my Pinkfresh Studio 12x12 paper packs and so that's exactly what this layout features: the cover sheet from my BooVille collection 12x12 Paper Pack!

I started by trimming 1/4" from both the top and bottom edges to make the cover sheet 12x12". Then I used my sewing machine to zig zag stitch between all of the patterns. Across the center informational strip I placed a large 12x4" photo of Fox & Jane in front of the spookified gates at Disneyland last October.

Because the background is busy enough, I didn't need to add tons of embellishing. I clustered tag Ephemera Die Cuts, a pumpkin from the Floral Die Cuts, Cardstock Stickers, Title Puffy Stickers, Mini Puffy Stickers, and Enamel Shapes around the photo and spelled "DISNEYLAND" with the colorful Alpha Puffy Stickers. The only embellishment I didn't use were the Rub-On Transfers which now I feel the need to go back and add just one to say I used all the SKUs :)

I love highlighting the cover sheet because it looks like I spent a long time meticulously piecing the background together when in reality, it comes like that! All the work is done for me! Thanks for stopping by and have a happy day filled with "witch" crafts!

Batty for You Layout by Paige Evans

2026-09-19T05:00:00.000-06:00

Hi scrappy friends! Here is a new layout I made with BooVille featuring my Bat Border from the 13 Halloween Cut Files Bundle!

I started with a purple textured cardstock background and did a bit of mixed media including swiping a layer of white gesso in the shape of the Bat Border from the top left to the bottom right corners. Then I used the packaging technique to press gray watercolors over the gesso. As a final layer I splattered black watercolors and white acrylic paint on top. I cut the Bat Border from dark gray cardstock and backed the bats with patterned papers from the 12x12 Paper Pack as well as the 6x6 Paper Pad. I popped the bats off the background with foam squares for dimension & shadows and then tucked two 3x4" photos into the top.

To embellish I placed three pennant Cardstock Stickers on the top right corner and sprinkled colorful star Puffy Stickers, star Enamel Shapes, and silver Enamel Dots in between the bats. I wrote journaling on a tag and made the title "batty for you" with the Title Puffy Stickers. I had so much fun making this layout and am a sucker for all things Halloween :) Thanks for stopping by and have a happy scrappy weekend!

Hocus Pocus Layout by Valerie Bisson

2026-09-17T05:00:00.000-06:00

Hi crafty friends! Valerie Bisson back on the blog today and I’m so happy to share a new scrapbook layout with you featuring Paige’s Hocus Pocus title from her 20 Halloween Cut Files and her BooVille collection with Pinkfresh Studio!

I love a good starting point for a layout so I went through Paige’s library of cut files and found the Hocus Pocus cut file from one of her past bundles, the 20 Halloween Cut Files. It paired nicely with the photos I chose to scrapbook - a couple snapchat photos of my daughter and our kitty. So with white cardstock I cut out the Hocus Pocus design and backed it with several different patterns from the 12x12 Paper Pack. For the sparkles and stars on the cut file I used glitter cardstock and for the broom some neutral tones found in my stash. Then I placed it on the lower half of the page with photos above on the black starry background paper. I wanted to jazz up the background a bit more so I added a lace edge punched border strip from the gray spiderweb paper and placed it on the left and right sides. Followed by a quarter inch strip of the pink patterned paper. For added texture I hand stitched the lace border edge and machine stitched the pink strips. I incorporated pieces from all the different embellishments including pieces from the Ephemera Die Cuts, Mini Puffy Stickers, Cardstock Stickers, Chipboard Stickers, Rub-On Transfers, and Enamel Shapes. That completes my layout! I hope you have a chance to create with the awesome BooVille collection!

Wickedly Cute Layout by Sophie Delorme

2026-09-16T05:00:00.000-06:00

Hello friends! It’s Sophie Delorme on Paige’s blog today sharing a new layout made with her BooVille collection and her Spiderweb Cut File used as a stencil!

I cut the Spiderweb from scratch cardstock then used it as a stencil to create a fun & colorful mixed media element on a white cardstock background - such an easy way to add texture and dimension to a page! I placed the cutest photo on the left side of the layout and lined up a few houses from the Ephemera Die Cuts along the base to anchor the composition. I used a Title Puffy Sticker and added clusters of Floral Die Cuts, along with fussy cut buildings, leaves, and pumpkins tucked around the photo for a cozy autumn feel. To finish it off, I hand wrote my journaling and added a sprinkle of spiders and Enamel Shapes as the final touches. I hope my layout inspired you and gave you some fresh ideas for using a cut file as a stencil on your next project with BooVille!

Coffee Time Matcha Time Layout by Rochi Villegas

2026-09-15T05:00:00.000-06:00

Hello crafty friends! Rochi Villegas here. Today I’m sharing a colorful layout featuring some sweet memories of my daughters enjoying coffee and matcha together using a mix of Paige's Crafted Moments and Lovely Lane collections with Pinkfresh Studio.

I started this layout with papers from Lovely Lane. For my background I used the Happy Together Paper and then I added the Full of Love Paper on top, leaving the Happy Together paper visible around the edges to create a beautiful layered frame. Then I cut several strips from the Stay Present Paper from Crafted Moments and arranged them vertically across the Full of Love paper to add color, pattern, and dimension to my layout. I also cut three strips from the Made of Sunlight Paper and placed them behind my titles, “Coffee Time” and “Matcha Time,” made with the pink Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers, creating a fun background that helps the titles stand out. I loved the way all the patterns work together while still allowing the photos and embellishments to stand out. Next, I added the three photos and arranged them in a way that creates a visual triangle, with one photo at the top right, another in the center, and the third toward the bottom left. Once my photos were in place, I started adding the embellishments. I created a large floral cluster in the center of the layout using a tea cup from the Ephemera Die Cuts and filled it with Floral Die Cuts which became one of my favorite details on the layout! I layered the pieces together using foam adhesive to add dimension and make the cluster really stand out. To balance the page, I created another floral cluster on the left side. I love creating embellishment clusters because they help bring all the elements of a page together and guide the eye from one photo to the next. I also added a few sentiment strips from the Legendary collection for more interest and to help tell the story behind these photos. I hope this project inspires you to mix and match different collections to document the little moments that make life special. Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun Layout by Nicole Santos

2026-09-14T05:00:00.000-06:00

Hey all! Nicole Santos here with a fun new Halloween layout and of course I’m using Paige's BooVille collection as well as her Branch Wreath Cut File.

I used the turquoise blue skull paper to make the Branch Wreath since I thought that it would really pop on the colorful striped paper from the 12x12 Paper Pack. After gluing the wreath down (only in the center) I added my photos and the title then I bent up the little branches on the wreath to give it dimension. The title "Ghouls just wanna have Fun" is from the Title Puffy Stickers. I then added lots of little fussy cut leaves, pumpkins, and flowers that I cut from the Floral Die Cuts packaging! I also added stars from the Title Puffy Stickers and Enamel Shapes. I finished the page with journaling and white paint splatters. Thanks for popping on to read all about my layout and I hope it has inspired you to get crafting with all your BooVille goodies!

Ghostly Greetings Layout by Paige Evans

2026-09-12T05:00:00.000-06:00

Happy Saturday scrappy friends! I have a new layout that I made for Scrapbook & Cards Today using BooVille scraps! Be sure to visit the SCT Blog to download this free Ghost for Stitching Cut File so you can scraplift this page :)

When I first received samples of my BooVille collection I grabbed one of everything and made 6 layouts for the reveal that took place on July 24th! Since then I've been trying to use that same "kit" so that if you purchased 1 of everything you can re-create everything I've been making with BooVille so far! This excludes projects for classes & events ;)

To create this page I cut the Ghost for Stitching from textured white cardstock and then loosely traced the inner part of the ghost on a scrap piece of smooth white cardstock. I punched about (4) 1" squares from each of the papers in the 6x6 paper pad along with a few mint and orange patterns from the 12x12 paper that has the patterned squares. I pieced the punched squares in slightly angled rows across the traced ghost. To add tons of texture & interest I used my sewing machine & white thread to zigzag stitch horizontally and vertically across the squares to create a patchwork/quilted look.

I was going to stitch the ghost in black or white thread, but when I brought in each of my family members to cast their vote, I went with Jane's suggestion of purple! She has an eye for design :) After backstitching with purple thread around the ghost I adhered the page on top of the quilted ghost. I hand cut a pair of eyes from black cardstock and then added my two 3x4" photos on opposite sides of the ghost. I embellished with lots of little things from BooVille such as die cuts, rub-ons, enamel shapes, puffy stickers, cardstock stickers, and chipboard stickers.

I love how this page turned out and hope you're inspired to scraplift it with my BooVille collection and Ghost for Stitching Cut File!
Have a happy scrappy weekend!

Let's Do This Layout by Jackie Ashton

2026-09-10T05:00:00.000-06:00

Hello! Jackie Ashton here sharing a layout using Paige's Crafted Moments and Happy Haven collections. I wanted to document my crafting friend coming to my city for a quick catch up and to see the Snoopy Trail over the summer.

I started with a sheet of white cardstock as my background and added some subtle stencil details using yellow ink. I kept the stenciling quite light. Next, I selected five different pieces of patterned paper from Crafted Moments and trimmed them into strips measuring approximately 1.5" x 1". I arranged these down the center of the cardstock, overlapping the strips slightly to create lots of layers and movement across the page. To add a little extra texture, I added hand stitching along two of the paper strips to help give those paper layers more definition. I backed my photographs using papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad. I then added 3D foam behind the photographs before placing them onto the layout, giving some dimension and helping them stand out amongst all those lovely layers. To finish the page, I tucked a selection of floral embellishments from Happy Haven around the page, creating little clusters without making the layout feel too busy. A scattering of enamel dots and a few mini puffy stickers added those final little details. I love how this came out and hope that it has provided you with some inspiration in using these collections!

October 31 Layout by Inessa Persekian

2026-09-09T05:00:00.000-06:00

Hey friends, Inessa Persekian here and today I’m sharing a new layout using Paige's BooVille collection!

I started with a sheet of white cardstock and let the colorful striped paper from the 12x12 Paper Pack do most of the work. I cut the striped paper apart into individual strips then distressed the edges of each one, setting the purple stripes aside. I adhered the strips across the white cardstock to create a bold and colorful background. I added three 3x4" photos and backed each one with the pumpkins and leaves patterned paper. I arranged the photos in a staggered design across the page which adds a little movement while still keeping the layout balanced. I added my title from the Title Puffy Stickers directly onto the orange stripe so it would stand out against the background without needing another layer. From there, it was all about embellishing! I created clusters around the photos using a mix of Ephemera Die Cuts, Chipboard Stickers, and Floral Die Cuts. I love mixing different textures and dimensions in my embellishment clusters, it gives the page so much more interest without making it feel too busy. To finish everything off, I scattered a few Enamel Shapes throughout the layout and added just a touch of glitter glue to the flowers for some extra sparkle. I love how this page came together! Cutting apart the striped paper was such an easy way to create a completely custom background and the fall colors and embellishments make the whole layout feel warm, layered, and fun!

Crafted Moments Rainbow Layout by Audrey Mutschall

2026-09-07T05:00:00.000-06:00

Hello friends! Audrey Mutschall here with a new layout featuring Paige's Crafted Moments collection and a hand-stitched rainbow. I’ve always wanted to create a whimsical looking rainbow made with patterned papers rather than solid colored cardstock, and the Crafted Moments collection inspired me to finally get around to it!

I started by drawing a rainbow and clouds on scratch paper. I decided on only five colors for my rainbow because I wanted fairly thick strips and I was worried that seven patterns might become overwhelming. I cut out each strip, traced it onto patterned paper, and then cut out the patterned paper strips. I made sure to add about 1/8” extra to each strip so I could overlap them when I glued them together - this makes for an easier time when stitching between the colors. The specific papers I chose for my rainbow were the Stay Curious Paper, Create Your Way Paper, One Good Thing Paper, Beauty Ahead Paper, and Full of Hope Paper. Once the rainbow pieces were glued together I poked holes between each paper and did a chain stitch using embroidery floss in coordinating colors. I love the dimension this adds to the rainbow as well as an extra pop of color. I cut clouds out of white cardstock and stitched borders around them using a backstitch. I alternated between white embroidery floss and colored embroidery floss for a little extra flair! When the rainbow was complete I arranged it onto a white cardstock background and added two photos above the left cloud. I embellished with Floral Die Cuts, Ephemera Die Cuts, Puffy Stickers, and Chipboard Stickers. Then I made a title using a chipboard piece from my stash and some pink Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers. Lastly, I added some adorable little Heart Enamel Stickers in a few places to tie everything together. I hope this inspires you to make your own hand-stitched rainbow for your next project!

Beware Layout by Paige Evans

2026-09-06T05:00:00.000-06:00

Hello scrappy friends! Here is a layout I made with my BooVille collection and Spiderweb Frame Cut File!

I cut the Spiderweb Frame from black cardstock and placed it, unbacked, over the gray spiderwebs paper from the 12x12 Paper Pack. Next I placed a 3x4" black & white and color photo of Fox & Jane in front of Halloween decor at Disneyland in the middle. I embellished around the photos with die cuts, chipboard stickers, and puffy stickers. On the corners of the Spiderweb Frame I added candy corn puffy stickers and star mini puffy stickers.

A cut file is such an easy way to fill up a page quickly and create a ton of interest! I have a new bundle of 31 Halloween Cut Files releasing on September 29th so stay tuned!! Check out my 13 Halloween Cut Files Bundle HERE and my 20 Halloween Cut Files Bundle HERE! Have a happy scrappy day!

Tricks & Treats Layout by Paige Evans

2026-09-05T05:00:00.000-06:00

Here is the very first layout I made with BooVille! I've semi-shared it already, but it deserves its own post :)

I used my Tricks & Treats for Stitching Cut File, cut the letters from the 6x6 papers, and did a backstitch with tone-on-tone colors of DMC embroidery floss.

On the white cardstock background I did a bit of mixed media using watercolors and pooled matching colors underneath where the letters would go - purple under purple, yellow under yellow, pink under pink, etc.

I added a 3x4" photo of me and Jane with her pumpkin drink and then embellished with bits & pieces from BooVille such as mini puffy stickers, cardstock stickers, chipboard stickers, enamel shapes, and die cuts. I had so much fun making this too-cute-to-spook layout and hope it inspires you to check out my BooVille collection before it's going, going, gone!

Happy Halloween Embroidered Layout by Paige Evans

2026-09-04T05:00:00.000-06:00

Sometimes I see a paper and immediately get the itch to stitch it! Such was the case with the frames paper in the 12x12 Paper Pack from my Halloween-themed BooVille collection with Pinkfresh Studio! It took about a month to stitch this entire page, a little bit here & a little bit there - slow & steady wins the race!

First I carefully cut out the icons inside of all of the frames, all except the two inside the leafy frames. Then I hand poked holes around all of the frames, spiderwebs, and candles.

I did a chainstitch around all of the frames and a backstitch through the webs and candles, using tone-on-tone colors of DMC embroidery threads:

The stitching took probably 24 hours in total. Worth every second to me :)

After finishing the stitching I added Glossy Accents to all of the stars to make them shiny! Next I backed three of the open frames with photos of Fox from way back in October of 2013 when he was only 3 years old. It was our first fall living in Germany and we wanted to visit a pumpkin patch so we drove about an hour away to the closest one and all of the pumpkins were still green lol! So funny. But memories were made and here I am 16 years later documenting it. I just love the skeleton hoodie Fox was wearing - perfectly coordinates with BooVille!

After backing three of the frames with photos I backed the rest of the layout with a sheet of smooth white cardstock. Then I fussy cut most of the icons from the inner frame pieces (along with a skeleton trick-or-treater and a few bats from other papers) and popped them into the open frames. I decorated with tiny embellishments like the Enamel Shapes and star and burst Rub-On Transfers.

The title "happy Halloween" is from the Title Puffy Stickers and I cut it into a couple pieces to fit into one of the bigger frames on the right side. I journaled below the title with an aqua pen and finished with an aqua "hey, pumpkin!" Cardstock Sticker.

This might be my favorite Halloween layout of all time :) Thanks for stopping by and have a spooktacular day!

Create Your Way Layout by Antonia Sherlock

2026-09-03T05:00:00.000-06:00

Hello crafty friends! Antonia Sherlock here and today I’m sharing a layout inspired by the beautiful Floral Die Cuts from Paige's Crafted Moments collection!

My favorite embellishments are Floral Die Cuts and I usually include these on every scrapbook layout I make! The florals in this collection are just stunning – so feminine, and the color combination is absolutely amazing! I decided to use white cardstock for my background as I wanted to add some mixed media details. I decided to cluster the Floral Die Cuts at the top and bottom of the layout in a semicircle design. I started by adding gold ink to the page then layered the floral clusters on top. I added my photo and Cardstock Stickers in the cluster at the bottom. I added the title using the pink Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers and heart Enamel Shapes. I liked the overall look of the layout, but something was missing. I trimmed down the sides and layered it onto the Worth Remembering Paper – this vibrant, deep purple frame was just the right finishing touch. I hope you find my layout inspiring! This was such a special celebration to document and the Floral Die Cuts make the layout just as special as the event itself.

Squad Ghouls Layout by Ali Skifton

Boo to you! It’s Ali Skifton on Paige’s blog today and I’m so excited to share my first layout using Paige’s new BooVille collection!

Of course I had to document these fun photos of my Squad Ghouls from Paige’s Trick & Treat event a few years ago! What a fun weekend we had together with all my ghoulfriends. The colors in this collection are absolutely perfect for my photos and matched all of those bootiful Halloween decorations so well. For my background, I chose the fun, multicolored stripe paper from the 12x12 Paper Pack. I also used the back side of that same paper in the center of my layout to help make my photos stand out. I added a bat border punched from the pink paper to highlight the black starry paper underneath and bring even more Halloween fun to the page. I found the perfect title for my photos with all of my ghoulfriends in the Title Puffy Stickers. I just love how cute and playful they are! Next, I embellished my photo collage with the adorable Mini Puffy Stickers and Ephemera Die Cuts. I added 3D foam squares behind the not-so-scary ghosts, bats, spiders, and witches to give them a little extra dimension and make them pop off the page. And seriously… how cute is that little witch?! To finish everything off, I sprinkled Enamel Shapes around my photo collage for the perfect finishing touch. I had so much fun creating this spooky, silly, and totally bootiful layout with BooVille! I can’t wait to create more Halloween memories with this collection. Cheers to a frightfully fun start to the Halloween season!

Post Game Fireworks Layout by Valerie Bisson

2026-09-01T05:00:00.000-06:00

Hi crafty friends! Valerie Bisson on the blog today and I’m so happy to share a new scrapbook layout with you featuring Paige’s Fireworks Cut File and her Legendary collection with Pinkfresh Studio.

I started with white cardstock to cut the Fireworks followed by adding gold and blue metallic watercolor paint across the background. To back the cut file I used the Creative Energy Paper, Next-Level Content Paper, On Repeat Paper, and Scenes from Today Paper. To add more interest and texture to the fireworks I added hand stitching including backstitches and French knots; I also punched out some smaller stars and adhered them with foam squares over top of the stars in the cut file. I created a grounding spot for my photos by adding a 2” strip of the Trending Now Paper along the bottom of the page. Next I placed the title to the right of my photos with the Puffy Alpha Stickers and for balance I placed a Cardstock Sticker to the left. From the Legendary Moments Paper I cut out a couple of the sentiment patches clustered above the photos with Journaling Die Cuts. Lastly I added a few Enamel Dots in three spots surrounding the photos and journaling.

August 2026 Highlights

Here's what we were up to throughout August 2026!

Jane got a haircut the day before she went back to in-person school. She was homeschooled for both middle school years and now she's officially in HIGH SCHOOL!

Jane on her first day of 9th grade & Fox on his first day of 10th grade so we have a freshman and sophomore. Oh my days!

Off they go, two huge pieces of my heart. AAAAND Jane started her first year of seminary and Fox started his second. Good thing Chris and I are both early risers to get them out the door in time! Lucky kids though, they only have to go 4 days a week.

Jane's artistic skills never cease to amaze me. I take all the credit ;) ;) ;)

After being gone so much this summer, Sandy was very needy.

Amy too! She missed me.

GO BRONCOS!!! On the first pre-season game I of course sported Broncos gear and loved when Stidham got a touchdown on the opening drive. We're gonna win the Super Bowl this year :)

I changed my tragus earring to something more substantial and I straightened my hair for the first time in like a year.

We saw one movie in the theater - Spider-Man. Listen, I like a LOT of things. But Marvel movies ain't one of them. Sorry folks!

I was asked to switch up the ward bulletin board. Three months ago. LOL. It was a crazy summer okay?! But finally I took down all the old photos, made a banner and pom pom garland, printed pics, outlined the board with ribbon, and pinned on stickers. Chris helped me put it all together - can you even tell which side he did?! He's the best :) If you're new here, did you know he proposed to me with a scrapbook that he made? KEEPER!

We have a bird feeder in the backyard and it makes my heart giddy seeing all the different kinds of wildlife that visits. From bears (see June 2026 highlights), to squirrels, bunnies, pigeons, and many different kinds of birds, it's always fun to look out and see who's hungry.

Go Wyndam!! He's from Denver so we're fans of his.

Chris made me a DELICIOUS dinner with chicken, rice, cherry tomatoes, beans, corn, peppers, and limes. Mmmmmmmm.

I had one day between projects so I built the new X-Files Lego. Teehee!

I have been completely obsessed with the Lindsay Clancy trial and have been watching it live for weeks on end. As I write this the jury is still in deliberation and I'm anxiously awaiting their verdict. I can see it going ANY way.

Soaking up the last few weeks of summer.

We went to the Old Town Dental annual summer party at Mike's house, always a fun time.

Mike's dog is so cute.

Our kitties are cuter ;) I kid I kid. One afternoon I found them snoozing on the dining room chairs.

The girls throughout the month. 1. On/under our coffee table. 2. "Ammmyyyy pleeeeaaaaase play with meeeee!"
3. How much are those kitties in the window? 4. Both girls sitting in drawers where I exercise. Why tho?

My super snuggler.

Sandy is something else.

I take more photos of my kitties than anything else. Can you blame me?! :)

Finishing with scrappy things! I shared (9) 12x12 layouts here on my blog in August. Projects are linked below if you want more details:

Stitched Scalloped Borders Layout // Umbrella Layout // Triangles Layout
Butterflies Wreath Layout // Frames Layout // Stitched Flower Wreath Layout
Stitched Hearts Background Layout // Flower Bouquets Layout // Birthday Layout

I also shared a mini album made with Crafted Moments.

I released a new Class PDF in my shop with photos and instructions for creating (14) 12x12 layouts and a mini album with a mix of my Crafted Moments collection and the Take Note collection by Simple Stories. Purchase the Class PDF HERE.

The day after we got back from the Alaskan Cruise, I started working on my 3 Spooky Little Craft Fest projects using BooVille. I finished them in the nick of time and the workshops released at the end of the month - details below!

Some albums from Simple Stories arrived and of course Amy climbed up to the top and Sandy wished she could climb to the top.

I met up with Valorie and Tasha at The Tilted Brick in Longmont so we could scrapbook together.

I worked on handstitching the spooky frames paper from BooVille. Still a work in progress.

I spy Very Merry Christmas.

So fun to spend time with my crafty friends.

My big BooVille order was delivered. 700 pounds of Halloween goodies to use in my upcoming kits & classes!

I did an unboxing of BooVille!

A little late but hopefully worth the wait :)

Screenshots from the live:

You can watch the full unboxing video below:

PUMPKIN SQUASH MINI ALBUM WORKSHOP

HALLOWEEN TRAVELER'S JOURNAL WORKSHOP

HALLOWEEN MICRO SEQUIN MINI ALBUM WORKSHOP

And then a few hours after registration opened, I joined a Zoom with my scrappy friends in Brazil to make a special announcement....

I'M GOING TO BRAZIL TO TEACH!!! August 28th & 29th 2027, I'm heading to Goiânia Brazil to teach alongside these talented teachers at Cor & Amor. More info can be found HERE. I cannot wait to meet Gi DeMello in real life after making so many collaborations together over the past few years!

A sample of the ghost charm from Emily arrived - every haunted house needs a ghost in the attic right?!

For my December Daily this year I'll be using this Peppermint Candy Sequin Album (handmade by Gi DeMello in Brazil of course!) along with the older Holiday Magic Christmas collection from Pinkfresh Studio - tentatively releasing mid-to-end of November. Please email me or comment below to be on the first-to-know when this kit is ready list.

Here's to an amazing September! We usually go to Disneyland or Disney World in October when it's spooky time, but I will be gone every single weekend in October so we decided to go in September instead when Halloween decorations are already up! Looking forward to that!

Paw Print Layout by Sophie Delorme

2026-08-31T05:00:00.000-06:00

Hello scrapbook friends! It’s Sophie Delorme with you on Paige’s blog today, sharing a cute layout made with her Crafted Moments collection and Paw Print Cut File!

I cut the Paw Print from 12x12 white cardstock and it became the main design element on my page. I printed my photo in black & white and placed it in the main paw pad. Then I added a chain stitch in white thread around each section of the paw print, along with a backstitch in matching thread on the edge of each toe pad for a little extra texture. Each toe pad is backed with a different patterned paper from Crafted Moments and I finished it off with a few Floral Die Cuts, Enamel Shapes, fussy cut butterflies, and clouds scattered around the page. My title combines Rub-On Transfers and pink Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers for some fun dimension. To pull it all together, I trimmed my 12x12 white cardstock down to 11x11 and mounted it on the gorgeous Stay Curious Paper. I’m so happy with how this one turned out, and I hope it inspires your next layout too!

Special Moments Together Double-Page Spread by Paige Evans

2026-08-30T05:00:00.000-06:00

Hi there! Here is a double-page I taught how to make during the 2026 Crop & Create Delivered Papercrafting Event with Scrapbook & Cards Today using my Crafted Moments collection with Pinkfresh Studio and my Kite for Stitching Cut File!

I must confess we've never flown kites together as a family, but I had a vision in my head of hand stitched colorful kites dancing across the pages and thus this project was born!

I chose 7 patterned papers from Crafted Moments to create kites and did tone-on-tone hand stitching to spruce them up and add texture & interest. After scattering the kites across the spread I placed all my Easter Sunday family photos across the bottom and adhered Floral Die Cuts and buildings next to the pics to anchor the scene.

Then came decorating! I mostly added Floral & Butterfly Die Cuts tone-on-tone on the kites and then added a few more things to make it look more like a "sky" such as clouds punched from white cardstock scattered between the kites, a sun and hot air balloon from the Ephemera Die Cuts, and butterfly & bee Puffy Stickers flying around.

To finish I glued white string "kite tales" and wrote journaling on an Ephemera Die Cut. I loved putting this spread together and teaching it virtually during the event! Be sure to check out my "FIND ME HERE" page to see all the upcoming goings-ons in my scrappy corner of the world!
