Joy Layout - Pinkfresh Studios

Today I am sharing the simple layout Joy. I always love scrapbooking old photos of my kids. I love to reminisce how young they once were. That sweet little boy is now a licensed driver in our family. How the years have passed by. 

I used the Pinkfresh challenge reboot that was all about die cuts. I have sure loved my newest amazing alphabet die set that I used to make the word joy. I also used the wonderful floral dies to create that cluster of flowers and leaves. The top of the page was created with the leafy die cut. This was a fun creation. 

I really love that font. I am saving my pennies to buy the uppercase ornate set that coordinates with this set. 

I will be entering this in the following challenge (reboot for June challenge for die cuts)

Pinkfresh Purple and Green Peace on Earth Card

Seeing as I am still sending out my Christmas and New Years cards (likely done in the next 2 weeks) I am still creating new ones. And I think that perhaps if I am being honest I put off creating them this year as I was awaiting my latest purchase from Pinkfresh which included the amazing Nested Chevron stamp and die. If you own those pieces and haven’t watched their YouTube videos using them you absolutely have to watch them - so so good! And if you don’t own the stamp and die let me tell you - you will definitely want them after watching those video how to’s! 

Anyways on to my card using the Nested Chevron stamp, Christmas floral stamps and also the leafy branch which I cut in gold. I was very happy with how the card turned out.

Pinkfresh Christmas Card Love the Gold

I had fun creating this Christmas card using my Christmas floral stamps by Pinkfresh Studio. I enjoyed colouring them with their amazing liquid watercolours. For this card I chose to stay with the more traditional colours of red green and gold. I had so much fun creating the background with the newest die to my craft stash. I know I will be using that background die and stamp a lot more.

Pinkfresh Christmas Card - Pink

Here is a fun Christmas card I made. I wanted to do something a bit different and so I used a lot of pink and purple tones for this one. 

The Background paper as well as the stamp set and leaf die in gold are all Pinkfresh items. The leaf die and paper were all from my latest purchase. 

I used those amazing liquid watercolours to do all the colouring of this Christmas stamp set.

Love Layout Take 2

Ok, so here is my second take on a similar layout with a similar picture. Hopefully by scrapbooking this way my 3 kids will soon have their own memory albums of them with their amazing Gram. Who knows - maybe after I am done their books I will decide to do a similar book for myself.  Well, maybe I’m getting a bit ahead of myself. I’m sure I have at least 5 or more unfinished albums to finish up before I start another one. 

Making 2 pages at the same time using similar plans but with different colors and placement was actually lots of fun. I quite like the dark color  on this page. Pinkfresh cut files for the win once again. And the heart paper is from their Let’s Stay Home Collection. 

I am quite happy with how this turned out.

Love Layout Take 1

Ok so I am behind in my scrapbooks - insert shocked gasp here. Yes, as a working mom of 3 amazing kids I have somehow fallen behind on my scrapbook layouts. And so here I am with more time on my hands, what with Covid keeping us at home more, and I am working on books for my kids. Years back I decided to create a memory scrapbook for each of my kids with all the special photos of them and their amazing and special Great Grandmother (Gram). Sadly she passed away this fall at the young age of 105! And so my album for each child has now become 2 8x8 albums for each kid. With 3 children I often scrap a similar photo for each child’s album. So here is my new plan in the hopes to scrapbook more efficiently. I am going to follow and take part in challenges to keep my creative juices flowing. I am also going to design all 3 pages using similar ideas but with just different colors or placement. I hope this helps me to finish some albums up in the near future. We will see how it all goes. So here is the first of my new plan. 

This layout uses the adorable heart paper from Pinkfresh Let’s Stay Home Collection. The chain of hearts and the word Love are cut files from Pinkfresh. 

Those cut files are so much fun on the page.

Love Family Layout

I am so excited with all the scrapbook layouts that I have been able to get done lately. I am making it a personal challenge to play along with Pinkfresh for all of their different challenges as a way to get new ideas for how to create my pages. Such fun! 

This layout had me using their beautiful liquid water colors as well as their lovely cut file. 

I also added some ephemera from the let’s stay home collection. I’m quite happy with the outcome. I have to say - backing the cut file was time consuming but very relaxing and enjoyable. I am thrilled with the outcome.
