January 21, 2016 – The Crafty Maven Getaway

Aloha Crafty Mavens!!

I want to share with you what was up on The Crafty Maven Getaway on Free Flow Wednesday. I love Wednesday and seeing the scrapbookers’ style shine through. That is what Wednesday is all about!!

On Wednesday, Scraps by Jen and Abcdeli are sharing layouts on the channel.

Elisabetta has just a lovely simple style and I love her use of white space. Even in the layout she shares this week she really uses the space in a fun way. I love how she adds fun embellishments to the frames on her background patterned paper from Maggie Holmes.

Here is a look at her layout.

Take a look at her process video too.

You can find more layouts and process videos over at Elisabetta’s Youtube channel. She also has a blog that she shares all her DT layouts on, check it out.

Next up on The Crafty Maven Getaway is ScrapsByJen! I love her style and for completely different reasons then Elisabetta’s. I love how Jen’s layout makes you feel like home. I know that sounds odd, so let me explain. Some layouts and styles just have an ease to them, that you feel like you could create that or do that at home, with the stuff you have right now. They inspire you to pull out your papers and embellishments and get to work on something similar. Then you find out it’s not so easy to recreate, but it’s fun all the same trying to capture the essence of what was on their page. Jen also always has amazing photos on her layouts!!

Take a look at this week’s layout that Jen made.

I love how Jen used all the frames on her layout!! Here is what Jen said about making this layout, “I had a LOT of photos to scrap and really didn’t want to do a double page spread. The inspiration piece had me thinking a grid but then I saw this background paper and the thought of using it with frames came to me. It’s a busy page but a fun way to fit in a ton of photos.”

Here are some close ups too.
