The Beauty of Now Layout by Monique Lowe

Hello creative friends! Monique Lowe here and I'm so happy to be sharing a new layout featuring Paige's Crafted Moments collection from Pinkfresh Studio!

I started with a sheet of textured white cardstock and machine stitched a 3 x 3 grid to add subtle texture on the background. Next, I selected four patterned papers and cut one to 3" square and one to 2" square from each design. After distressing and tearing the edges for extra texture, I arranged the squares within the grid, leaving the center space free for my photo. Once I was happy with the placement, I added some Distress Ink to the background using the packaging technique - my favorite way to create a quick splash of color! After everything was dry, I stuck down the paper squares with foam squares for added dimension. To frame my photo, I used a square element from the Ephemera Die Cuts along with a torn strip of Create Your Way Paper. Then came my favorite part - embellishing! I used the beautiful Floral Die Cuts to create small clusters around my photo and added a few more to some of the paper squares to help tie the whole design together. I tucked in a sentiment from the Ephemera Die Cuts before finishing the layout with a sentiment Cardstock Sticker and a sprinkle of Enamel Shapes.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this layout inspires you to get creative with the gorgeous Crafted Moments collection. Happy crafting!

Confetti Field Layout by Jackie Ashton

Jackie Ashton here sharing a layout using Paige's Crafted Moments collection. There's something so satisfying about creating a layout using just one sheet of patterned paper!

I trimmed white cardstock down to 11.5" square and distressed the edges before layering it over the mini floral Create Your Way Paper - this created a beautiful border around the layout. Before adhering everything together, I gutted the center of the paper and used that piece to mat my photographs - making the most of every bit of paper! To frame the page, I added a hand-drawn border around the edge. I then arranged my photographs across the page and embellished them with Cardstock Stickers, labels from the Ephemera Die Cuts, Enamel Shapes, and flower Puffy Stickers. I finished the layout with a title created using the pink Mini Puffy Alpha Stickers. I absolutely love how this layout came together and it's a great reminder that you can create a page while using just a single sheet of patterned paper. Hope you can get some inspiration from my layout!

Flower Sequin Mini Album by Paige Evans

Here is the flower sequin mini album that we filled together during our Crafted Moments Weekend Event!

A quick flip through:

I sent Gi DeMello (my bestie in Brazil) a sketch of a flower sequin album idea I had and she brought it to life even more beautifully than I could have ever imagined!

I had so much fun filling it with Crafted Moments papers & embellishments along with a few supplement products from American Crafts.

Here is the front cover adorned with flowers and lots of tone-on-tone decorations.

The spine is filled with clear sequins so the title could pop.

We made a tassel charm to attach onto the spine.

I didn't embellish the back cover so the sequins could sparkle & shine and be the star of the show!

Here is a look at all the spreads:

Of course the first page (well, after the see-through transparency page), features a plethora of hand stitching! I am who I am :)

While we were at Disneyland this past April, I knew this flower sequin album was waiting for me to fill it, so I intentionally took a bunch of photos of Jane in front of flowers and lots of flowers on their own to use throughout this album.

Each flower-shaped page features a chain-stitched border.

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a look! Be sure to keep an eye on my UPCOMING EVENTS to be able to take part in all my online and in-person classes!

Summer in Paris Layout by Inessa Persekian

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!
