Hey friends! I have my final layout to share with you today as the March Guest Designer for Spiegelmom Scraps.

12x12 scrapbook layout using the Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Bloom Collection + the Sunflower Fields Sequin Mix from Spiegelmom Scraps.

I came across these 3 photos of my son when he was a baby and they immediately pulled at my heartstrings! My mom snapped these photos of him playing in the dandelions when he was about 17 months old. I knew the Sunflower Fields Sequin Mix would be perfect to pair with these photos that have so much green & pops of yellow!

Then I went looking into my stash to find papers to match and came across the Crate Paper – Maggie Holmes – Bloom Collection. I grabbed a woodgrain patterned paper from the Bloom 12×12 Paper Pad to use as my background. I wanted to add more detail to the background so I grabbed white & pink acrylic paints to add splatters. I fussy cut a few florals from one of the patterned papers from the same paper pad and positioned the flowers in a vertical fashion in the center of the background.

I cut a couple butterflies in a light pink cardstock, and I also cut very intricate leaves/branches from the Bloom & Butterflies FREEBIE Cut File using vellum & another sheet of patterned paper included in the Bloom 12×12 Paper Pad. I tucked those branches randomly throughout the layout to help balance the design.

Then it came time for my title and I struggled a bit finding something that would work. I ended up deciding on “My Favorite Bloom” using the puffy stickers from the Bloom Collection.

Then for final touches, I added all of the colors from the Spiegelmom Scraps Sunflower Fields Sequin Mix.

Now you can take a look at how my layout came together!

I want to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to Jody from Spiegelmom Scraps for reaching out to me and asking me to guest design. It has been so much fun creating these layouts using the gorgeous Sequin Mixes.

So Very Sweet | Spiegelmom Scraps

Hey there everyone! I’m back with my 3rd project for Spiegelmom Scraps.

12x12 scrapbook layout using the Simple Stories Vintage Bliss Collection, a few items from my stash & Spiegelmom Scraps Sequins

This project is another stash busting layout. I love being able to use up product that has been lingering in my scrap space, but a majority of this, Simple Stories – Vintage Bliss, collection had already made it’s way out of my scrap space and into a purge box. I regularly go through my scrap stash and am pretty brutal at cutting down my supply. I go with my gut reaction on whether or not I think I will use it, and if I don’t think I will then it goes straight into the box. This collection was one that I thought I wouldn’t use just because it didn’t seem to fit my current style given that it was an older collection. But I was wrong!  HA!

The only part of this collection that was remaining in my stash was the chipboard stickers and I was immediately drawn to them because of the galoshes and umbrella included in the set. I thought I would create a rainy day layout with this collection, but I couldn’t find any other items that matched well with these colors so into my purge box I went…breaking the only scrapbooking rule I set for myself!

This layout ended up taking a completely different turn and I didn’t even use the galoshes or umbrella that I was immediately drawn to. Instead I grabbed this photo of my dog when he was a puppy, and focused on the bright colors included in the Simple Stories – Vintage Bliss Collection. I did add a mixture of acrylic paint, white gesso and gelatos to the background pattern paper. You can see that fiasco in my process video below! I fussy cut the banner from one of the patterned papers in the collection and stitched it to the background patterned paper.

I added multiple stickers to the background, a doily, a felt cloud from an older Basic Grey Collection and the Spiegelmom Scraps We Are Royals and Sunflower Fields Sequin Mixes. I also typed my journaling using my We R Memory Keepers Typecast Typewriter to add the journaling.

Now you can take a look at my process video showing how this layout came together!

I’ve been creating faster than I can blog so be on the lookout for a lot more projects coming your way soon! Remember to head to the Spiegelmom Scraps Shop to check out of the products and sequin mixes that are available!
