Back to School Layout by Paige Evans

Saturday, February 1, 2025

Here is a layout I made for the Pinkfresh Studio September 2022 CREATE & CONNECT virtual event using the Delightful Collection and a heartburst cut file to document a back-to-school photo of Fox & Jane!
Gut a 10” square from the center of the rainbow leafy Chase Beauty Paper. Back a heartburst cut file with patterned papers in colors following the background paper and fill the center heart with a photo.
Embellish tone-on-tone centering around the heart using bits and pieces from the Title Ephemera, Ephemera, Hanging Banners, Chipboard Flair, Vellum Embellishments, and Cardstock Stickers. Add the largest pieces first, followed by smaller pieces, and finish with the tiniest things like Enamel Dots and the Puffy Stickers. Leave a gap for the title on the right side.
Add a title overlapping the right edge of the photo using the Puffy Alphabet Stickers then journal with a blue pen in the bottom right wedge. Splatter white acrylic paint over the entire layout to tie it all together (be sure to cover the photo with scrap paper before splattering). To finish, glue the entire backed cut file centered onto the gutted rainbow leafy Chase Beauty Paper.

January 2025 Highlights

Here's what we were up to in January 2025! Finally a more calm month with no traveling or huge holidays :)
Chris and I went to the 1000th regular season Broncos game! Cool eh?
Got all our Broncos merch on to support our team!
We drove to an RTD parking garage then took the train a couple stops to the Mile High Stadium or whatever it's called now, I swear it has changed names 5 times since I've known Chris.
Let's goooooooo!
Hi Bo Nix!
Even though it was cold, with the sun shining we were nice and toasty.
Hi Patrick Mahomes! The Chiefs benched their best players since they had already got 1 seed and home field advantage, no point injuring them.
The Broncos won 38-0, Andy Reid's first shutout. We made it to the Playoffs for the first time in like 8 years!
Before we left we walked down to the lower levels. Wow those are much better seats than the nosebleeds lololol. And we saw another touchdown!!
I know people have a lot of opinions about this game, but all I know is it was FUN to go to!
Of course the Chiefs are going to the Super Bowl to get their three-peat, vs the Eagles. I can't wait to watch!
A couple selfies, one right after I signed my new contract with Pinkfresh Studio and another right before I went live with Pinkfresh Studio to make the big announcement!
I love pink as you can tell from my sweatshirt and watch - this new flavor of Red Bull is right up my alley! It's delicious but lots of sugar gives me zits so I had a pack of 4 cans over the course of a week and not anymore since.
It has snowed so much and been soooooooooo cold.
I bribed the kids to go on a walk but they lasted literally 30 seconds so I did not pay up.
Chris and I went on a date to Shanahan's Steakhouse in Denver where he has all his rings and trophies on display which was really neat to see in real life!
The food was aight, mostly just a fun atmosphere and spending time with my hubby.
I'm so domestic, making the kids a grilled cheese and burnt (at her request) nachos! If you know me, you know this is an achievement, I don't cook. Unless absolutely necessary haha.
Jane got a new church 'fit! She's so darling!
The kids either didn't have school for break or it was canceled because of snow/freezing temps, so I took them to MOD Pizza for lunch.
More cutie patootie Jane.
I think I'm going to try functional medicine and had my first consultation. I'm very hopeful to be rid of headaches once and for all.
Exercising is going well!
Spent some time straightening these frames in our bedroom.
The bathroom got finished!!!
I absolutely love how it turned out.
I know it's not for everyone, but it is for me :)
We have no plans to move anytime soon so I am having SO MUCH FUN putting our own personal stamp on all the rooms.
Yes it's a purple toilet closet!
Patterns, textures, colors, all my favorite things. Oh and of course flowers!!
Now what should we renovate?? The kids are begging for their bathroom to be redone.
*****************************************
Onto the kitty cats! Aren't they the sweetest snuggling me on either side?
1) They haven't been on this same gray blanket together in a long time so I had to document. 2) Every morning they follow me into the basement while I exercise and 3) eventually Amy goes on top of a Kallax so I have to lift Sandy up their too. 4) Birdwatching.
She looks like a Best in Show dog lol.
Oh Sandy. She is omnipresent and loves each of us equally.
I can't even Amy, hehehe.
She's still my snugglemuffin.
*****************************************
Onto the scrappiness! This is what a clean slate/fresh start looks like. I boxed up all my AC collections and put them in a safe place.
I shared a mini album, scrapbook, and 3 12x12 layouts in January! Click the links to see them in more detail:
I announced my last collection with American Crafts called Happy Haven!! When I receive my order I will put full collection sets in
MY SHOP and announce on socials so stay tuned.
HUGE NEWS!!! I am joining Pinkfresh Studio! Our first two collections will release in May and I'm soooooo stinkin' excited and happy!
Registration is now open to the Crop & Create Delivered Papercrafting Event by Scrapbook & Cards Today with all these talented teachers! Plan your weekend with us and find out what classes you’ll take by visiting HERE to get all of the details of this fun-filled virtual scrapbooking event! In my class we'll use Happy Haven to create a single 12x12 layout and a double-page spread! We can't wait to create, get inspired & find joy in our hobby - together!!
I spent the first part of January prepping for my Suitcase Mini Album Kit & Live Virtual Class! Here's a snapshot of me collating the coordinating threads and ribbons with my su'purr'visor Amy.
We put all the kits together on a Saturday morning.
The following Tuesday I released the kits to my PaigePals and they sold out the first day - thank you!!! You can still join the virtual class TODAY which includes a PDF with all the supplies you need to have. The video is saved for rewatching whenever you have the time.
All the kits boxed up and ready to go to their new owners!
Trying to figure out Ecamm again, technology is not my favorite sometimes...
I've tried so many different set ups. I think I'm giving up doing lives, they just stress me out sooooo badly. Pre-recorded for the win.
Sneaks of my February kit & class which I plan to release to my PaigePals on February 18th!
I'll end with one more sneak of an upcoming album for a kit & class!! EEEEK!!! Gi DeMello is AMAZING! She brings all my visions to life!
Have a happy scrappy February!
