More September Scrappy Updates

Spooktacular at Disneyland Layout by Paige Evans
Sunday, September 20, 2026
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
Saturday, September 19, 2026
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
Thursday, September 17, 2026
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
Wednesday, September 16, 2026
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
Tuesday, September 15, 2026
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!
