Stitched Hot Air Balloons Layout by Paige Evans
Friday, July 17, 2026
Hello scrappy friends & happy Friday! This is probably my current favorite layout :) What's not to love about floral patterns, pastel colors, a fun photo of friends, a paper pieced scene, and of course, hand stitching!! I used my Crafted Moments collection with Pinkfresh Studio and featured my Hot Air Balloons for Stitching Cut File.
Here are some detail shots:
I loved making this and I love the way it turned out! Have a happy scrappy weekend!

Summer in Paris Layout by Inessa Persekian
Thursday, July 16, 2026
Hey friends, Inessa Persekian here and I just returned from a fabulous trip to Paris and couldn't wait to start documenting! Crafted Moments has the perfect vibe for Paris.
This layout started with a sheet of the Beauty Ahead Paper. To create a soft layered design, I tore a piece of white cardstock to approximately 7" tall and adhered it about 1½" up from the bottom of the page. I tucked a neutral trim along the torn edge and stitched across it with metallic thread. Not only does the stitching add wonderful texture, but it also helps secure the trim in place. I wanted the photos to feel like they were hanging from the top of the page, so I reached into my stash for a variety of neutral trims and ribbons. Using different textures and widths helped carry the trim from the bottom of the layout all the way to the top, creating a cohesive design. For my photos, I used frames from the Chipboard Stickers and tucked 2x2 and 2x3 photos behind them. After attaching the trims to the backs of the framed photos, I adhered them to the white cardstock to create the hanging effect. I also tied a few small bows with the same trims for a feminine touch. To finish the page, I tucked Floral Die Cuts, Ephemera Die Cuts, additional frame Chipboard Stickers, and other embellishments throughout the layout to create balance and fill in the design. The title was created using the Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers and I completed everything with a few strands of metallic thread at the top, Metallic Enamel Dots, and a light splatter of gold shimmer for the perfect finishing touch. I love how all of the layers, textures, and metallic details work together to create a layout that's both elegant and full of dimension. I hope this inspires you to mix trims, stitching, and layered embellishments on your next scrapbook page! Have a fabulous day and à bientôt!

Fun Day at Disneyland (Heart Wreath for Stitching) Layout by Paige Evans
Wednesday, July 15, 2026
I had so much fun hand stitching these hearts in colors of thread to match my Crafted Moments collection with Pinkfresh Studio! I do have a cut file called Heart Wreath for Stitching in my shop HERE.
I splattered a rainbow of watercolors over the background and then embellished tone-on-tone.
The photo in the center is round in shape to fit the space and is of Fox & Jane in front of the castle at Disneyland!
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a happy scrappy day!

City and Clouds Layout by Audrey Mutschall
Hello friends and happy summer! Audrey Mutschall here sharing a new layout made with Paige's Crafted Moments collection. There are so many adorable elements in this collection that I wanted to use on a page, so I put together a scene that includes a hot air balloon die cut, a fussy cut sun and butterfly, and the colorful building die cuts and stickers.
I started by cutting three large cloud shapes from white cardstock and stitched borders around them with white embroidery floss. Next I cut some hills from the leafy green side of the Crafted Moments Paper and added a border of stitching along those. I arranged the clouds and hills onto a lilac colored cardstock background and then fussy cut a sun from the Made of Sunlight Paper for the top left corner of the layout. Next I matted my photo with a piece of the Beauty Ahead Paper from the 6x8 Paper Pad, and tucked it between the hills and clouds. I added building Ephemera Die Cuts, Cardstock Stickers, and Puffy Stickers onto the page, as well as an adorable hot air balloon Ephemera Die Cut. A fussy cut butterfly from the Full of Hope Paper and an origami kite made from the Stay Curious Paper also added some whimsical touches to the page. Lastly, I embellished with Floral Die Cuts, more Cardstock Stickers, and Chipboard Stickers. I had so much fun creating this whimsical page and I hope it inspires you to check out Paige’s Crafted Moments collection!

Then and Now Layout by Antonia Sherlock
Tuesday, July 14, 2026
Hello crafty friends! Antonia Sherlock here and today I’m sharing a quick and easy layout I created with Paige's Crafted Moments collection.
I couldn’t stop myself making another layout with a full patterned paper background! These papers are so beautiful and the variety of colors allow so many different combinations to create different moods. This time I went with a pastel background using the Inner Glow Paper and layered the more striking Beauty Ahead Paper on top. I had to cut the latter carefully so that the bouquet pattern is positioned centrally. I layered my photos on colored cardstock and I positioned them towards the top of the page. Rather than creating my usual layered embellishment clusters, I arranged the embellishments in a linear way from the top to the bottom of the page. I used the three large butterflies from the Floral Die Cuts and a few Cardstock Stickers for this. I added the title, using the pink and blue Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers and I completed the layout using the tiny flowers from the Puffy Stickers and some Enamel Shapes. This layout came together so easily and I loved experimenting with the placement of the embellishments. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cake Bake Shop Layout by Ali Skifton
Monday, July 13, 2026
Hi friends! It's Ali Skifton here today sharing a "Two for Tea" layout featuring Paige's Crafted Moments collection. My friend Anne and I enjoyed the most wonderful afternoon tea at the Cake Bake Shop during our trip to Disney World and this collection was absolutely perfect for documenting these sweet photos from our special day.
For the background, I stamped a few areas with soft pink ink to add a bit of texture behind the pretty pink Stay Curious Paper. Then I cut a banner from the fun Enjoy the Pause Paper to add another playful layer to the design. I couldn't resist using the adorable teacup from the Ephemera Die Cuts and I added foam tape behind the Floral Die Cuts so they rise above the page like steam floating from a warm cup of tea. I also tucked more Floral Die Cuts beneath the unicorn photo and finished the layout by sprinkling Enamel Shapes around the floral clusters for a little extra detail and dimension. To complete my page, I used the beautiful Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers to create my title. One of my favorite things about Crafted Moments is how versatile it is - whether you're documenting everyday moments, special celebrations, or memorable adventures like this one, it's filled with beautiful papers and embellishments that make preserving your memories so much fun! Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope this layout inspires you to create with the Crafted Moments collection!

Sun Kissed Layout by Valerie Bisson
Saturday, July 11, 2026
Hi friends! Valerie Bisson here and I’m so happy to share a new project with you featuring Paige’s Butterfly from her 20 Spring Cut Files and her beautiful Crafted Moments collection.
I cut the Butterfly at 10” across from black cardstock then I backed it with Crafted Moments Paper and also matted the layout with Crafted Moments Paper. This paper has lots of pretty patterns and colors which can pop through all the little cut outs in the cut file and make a pretty border around the page. Next, with a piece of white cardstock cut to 11”square, I added stenciling in the corners with black ink - you might have this old stencil in your stash from Paige called Flower Garden Background! This makes a nice base to place the butterfly and photo. A frame from the Chipboard Stickers cut in half diagonally works great to accent the photo along with a couple of fussy cut butterflies from the 6x8 Paper Pad. I used the Puffy Alpha Stickers from Lovely Lane for my curved title below the cut file. I finished with a few embellishments including pieces from the Cardstock Stickers, Floral Die Cuts, Rub-On Transfers, and Enamel Shapes. I can’t forget the hand stitched antenna on the butterfly to make it complete! Have a wonderful creative day!

SUMMER Layout by Paige Evans
Friday, July 10, 2026
Hello scrappy friends! Here is a layout that I made for a virtual papercrafting event last year with Scrapbook & Cards Today using the Have a Great Summer collection by Echo Park and it features a large patterned paper title!
I used my Cricut to cut out the SUMMER letters from 6 different patterned papers and then instead of hand stitching like I am prone to do, I simply machine stitched around the letters for a little bit of added texture and dimension.
Two photos of Jane in Hawaii top the letters and then I sprinkled small fussy cut flowers as well as mini puffy stickers, heart chipboard stickers, and cardstock stickers around the page to finish it up. I loved making this bonus layout for the SCT Papercrafting Event!

Zoo Day Layout by Stephanie Draleau
Thursday, July 9, 2026
Hi friends! Stephanie Draleau here today with another layout using Paige's Crafted Moments collection!
I used several patterns from the 12x12 Paper Pack to stack layers behind my picture of my little guy watching the zoo animals. I used a variety of Cardstock Stickers and Chipboard Stickers to embellish and created a title with the navy Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers. I then matted my layout with the One Good Thing Paper. I hope I’ve inspired you to try some layering with your patterned papers today!

My World Layout by Sophie Delorme
Wednesday, July 8, 2026
Hello friends! It’s Sophie Delorme here on Paige’s blog today and I’m so excited to share this new layout created with her gorgeous Crafted Moments collection paired with her Flower Corner Cut File.
I backed the Flower Corner cut file with beautiful patterned papers from the 6x8 Paper Pad and nestled it into the upper left corner of the page. I centered my black & white photo on my 12x12 white cardstock, framed the whole layout on the One Good Thing Paper, and let a butterfly from the Floral Die Cuts flutter freely right next to my photo - a little touch I just love! For the title, I used the Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers and added a Chipboard Sticker as a subtitle. A bit of stitching, Puffy Stickers, and some handwritten journaling finished everything off beautifully. I hope you find this page inspiring!

Vitamin Sea Layout by Rochi Villegas
Tuesday, July 7, 2026
Hello crafty friends! Rochi Villegas here sharing a new summer layout using Paige's Crafted Moments collection and her Ocean Wreath cut file.
To begin, I cut the Ocean Wreath from white cardstock and decided to color it rather than back it with patterned paper. Using soft shades of aqua, pink, yellow, and lavender, creating a watercolor effect that perfectly complemented the tropical feel of my photo. Next, I added soft blue mixed media behind the wreath to mimic the colors of the ocean and help draw attention to the center of the page. I then layered my photo on patterned papers from Crafted Moments and tissue paper to create a focal point. Once the photo was in place, I began embellishing around it with Floral Die Cuts, fussy cut flowers from One Good Thing Paper, and placed a Chipboard Sticker over a seashell. The butterfly at the top of the layout helps anchor the composition while adding movement and whimsy. For the title, I chose “Vitamin Sea,” phrase, using pink Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers that perfectly captures the feeling of this special vacation memory. For my journaling, I tucked a tag Ephemera Die Cut behind the top of my photo. Finally, I finished the layout with Enamel Shapes for a touch of sparkle and texture. Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this layout inspires you to combine cut files, mixed media, and layered embellishments to document your own favorite memories!
