Hi everyone, this is Emma and today I’m up for Free Flow Wednesday. I decided to break out from my normal style and go for a layout look that wasn’t full of my normal layers and clustering!
The mood board really inspired me, and with all the flowers it screamed summer and the outdoors and so I picked a photo of my friend and I on a boat trip in Oxford – They’re something of a tradition for us these days!
I wanted to keep a light, airy feel so I stuck to lots of wood, grey and pink tones, which went well with the paper I picked (Pink Paislee’s C’est La Vie), and it gave me an opportunity to use some of my wood veneer up – I don’t know about you but I tend to hoard it, so getting some on a layout is always an achievement! I also really enjoyed getting my use my Elle’s Studio die cuts, they’re so cute and it was difficult to pick what ones to use!

Hello scrappy friends!! This is Megan and today I am sharing a pocket page spread that Julia, from The Art of Creating, made for us. I realy love all the cute little details she added to each of her pockets!
Those hearts are adorable!!! I totally want to make some like them now!
Julia said about her spread, “ I was really inspired by colours, bokeh picture and the flowers that reminded me of ruffles. so i have decided to use vellum to create a bokeh effect on the pages and made my own ruffle hearts embellishments using pattern paper and vellum.”

Today on The Crafty Maven Getaway we have two videos!
Froggie 251 is sharing her planner spread. I love Kelly’s spreads. They are always so much fun!! I love that she adds so many stamps in her planner spread!
“For this week I used the Lawn Fawn stamp set Critters at the Dog Park for the decorative part of the planner. I colored the images in with Copics and Sharpie markers. For the “events” I used stamps from the Sweet Stamp Shop and Studio Calico. I choose the Critters stamp set becuase it reminded me of summer. I really like decorating my planner because it get me to use my washi tape and I do LOVE washi tape. The planner pages are from Webster’s Pages – Color Crush.” Froggie 251
Here is a look at her planner spread.

Aloha!! This week is flying by, and I won’t lie I feel so unfocused!! But thank goodness it’s Spring Break, so I suppose a little slacking is required right?!!
Today I am up on The Crafty Maven Getaway. I love when I can just do my own thing, scrapping my style! Let’s face it I love to create my own backgrounds. I love to just play on white card stock and make it beautiful. I find using acrylic paints my favorite way to do transform a background.
Today I used the colors from the mood board to pick out paint that matched. I used my fave blue paint (Studio Calico color theory DeJu Vu acrylic paint), copper (Martha Stewart acrylic paint), and then mixed orange and pink together to make a coral color. I then just painted blocks of color throughout my page. It’s that simple.
I knew I wanted to cut a cut file, my newest obsession, on top of the painted area. I picked a cut file that made me think of the pattern on the inspiration piece. I love that almost chevron looking pattern. ( I got my cut file from The Cut Shoppe, you can follow the link to Ashley Horton’s Etsy shop to see what cool files she has.)
I really had fun with patterned paper that matched the inspiration piece, corals and blues. I made pretty big layers, but since I only have one photo I am not worried about space as much.
To counter balance this I tried to keep my clusters of embellishments on the layers. keeping it all one space helps the layout not look so busy.
I tucked in embellishments that had texture and colors that matched the colors I was already using. This helps keep the layout looking cohesive because I am mixing different companies products together.
I love all the texture from this cluster!!
I made my title fairly small because I really wanted it to fit above the photo within the layers. I didn’t want to cover up the cut file at the top. I really was trying to not go crazy all over the layout. It was really hard. Sometimes we just have to go crazy and let go!
Hi Everyone! It’s Nurse Lisa and I had a lot of fun creating this pocket page for you this week!
The inspiration piece had a teeny, tiny hint of gold in it and since gold is not always my first color of choice, I thought I would challenge myself to use gold in my layout.
I had these chipboard pieces in my stash by MAMBI and they worked perfect! I also used a photo sticker from Pink Paislee that said “today”. This was a busy week for me and I wanted to have little bits & pieces of all of my days in my pocket page included: a baby shower I held for a co-worker, the weather, and some beautiful flowers my sister had sent to the hospital where I work for Valentines day. Now these are some of the reasons why I do project life type pages; to savoir these memories. I think Polly shoving her face in the snow was my favorite photo though, I have to admit!! Oh, and now that gold bow finally has a home :=)
