I love creating! It makes me so happy when I get time to play with paper, print pictures, or even organize my craft room. I made these printables for all the makers out there! I am going to use them to document my creative space/current projects in my scrapbook.
I am loving the new Sweet Story collection by Maggie Holmes. The vibrant colors are so darling and perfect for spring and summer. Here is a 12x12 layout I made. That rainbow paper is my favorite.
Here is a pocket page with this collection. It has such fun tags and polaroids that I cut out of a 12x12 paper.
My December Daily is finished and I am excited to show you a flip through. This year I used an old book from a thrift store for my album. I learned how to make it from Maggie Holme's tutorial. Instead of removing the pages, you cut them down to short pieces and then add your own pages to both sides.
I used my cutting board/ plastic trimming tool to trim the pages off. This worked really well and also left the pages a little "torn" looking which I liked.
Here are some of my favorite pages:

Here's my flip through video. Thanks for watching!
These cute little caroling critters were perfect to add to these gift tags. I put some gold glittery paper behind the critters to make them pop. I also cut little fringes in the ends of their scarves for dimension. I got the stamps and dies from Ink to Paper- they have darling paper crafting supplies. ❤️ #inktopapermaker
The final project I made with the Crate Paper Hey Pumpkin line is my October mini album. I used white card stock paper and rings to create this. The pages are 5 1/2 by 7 inches. Scroll down to see some of my favorite pages. Link to flip through video at the bottom of post.
I made 2 pocket pages with Crate Paper's Hey Pumpkin line. This post is the 2nd of 3 posts with all the fun things I made with this collection.
The 3x4 cards (which are cut out of a 12x12 paper) are perfect for making a pocket page. I especially love how they incorporated pink and mint into this collection.
The little houses were perfect to document trick or treating. I loved making these pages!
I am excited to share my Halloween projects with you. I ordered the cutest products from Scrapbook.com. They are from Crate Paper's new Hey Pumpkin line.
The first project I made is this 12x12 interactive layout. Each day I wrote down 1 or 2 things we did that day. This is an easy way to document your October. You can even add photos.
Once each day was filled in I slipped it into a sleeve and added it to my yearly 12x12 album.
I also made a traditional 12x12 page with this cute collection. I knew the second I saw this candy corn colored paper that it needed to be a background for a layout.
I am happy to show you a pocket page I made with the darling June Citrus Twist kit. When I saw the pocket cards I immediately thought they would all go well together. So I printed some 3x4 pictures of some things that have been happening “around here” lately.
I also loved the papers that came in the kit. I incorporated them into the project by punching out butterflies using my die cut. I added them to the cards with a staple.
I like to think of the cards as being mini layouts. I add some flair to each of them and then put them all together in their pockets.
I added lots of simple journaling to this layout. I used handwriting on one of the cards, and used typed words for the rest. I typed them on white card stock paper, cut them out, and glued them right on to the photos/cards with a glue stick. I love that you can add them directly onto photos.
Three things you should try on your next pocket page:
1. Add some die cut punch shapes (I used a butterfly).
2. Think of each pocket card as a mini layout and add flair and texture like foam stickers, ephemera, etc..
3. Type your journaling and cut it out in strips. Glue onto photos/cards.
Here’s a video of this project:
Thanks for joining me today! I hope you got a little inspiration for your projects. Have a great day!
