Good morning and welcome to my blog.
"I’m so excited to share a new creative page.
This is my latest scrapbook project!
Scrapbooking has always been one of my favorite ways to capture memories and tell stories.
I post a new layout here weekly, as I create them throughout the week.
Whether you’re an experienced scrapbooker or someone curious to start, I’d love for you to join me on my blog.
Just follow me, and you will be able to get the full step-by-step instructions and photos to create your own.
My hope is that this project inspires you to dust off your own photos and keepsakes and start telling your story in a way that feels creative and personal.
So grab your scissors, washi tape, and a cup of
tea—let’s make something beautiful together!
For this project, I used Rosie's Beautiful Dreamer. I created a double-page layout.
"Let your dreams be your wings"
Photos:
1 x 5 ½ x 6” (14 x 15cm) squared and 3 x
4 x 4” (10 x 10 cm) squared.

1 x white pattern (small cats on it), 1 x black floral, 1 x black/stars pattern, and 2 x strips of black script 1 x “ (2.5 x 24cm).
Embellishments:
8 x flat-backed pearls, fussy cut
elements/ephemera.
Assemble
