I’m so proud to be part of the Shabby Art Boutique Handmade Club’s team! The October 2020 kit has so many fabulous shabby chic Christmas printables, and I incorporated them into my 12×12 scrapbook layouts this week.
This Vintage style is so much fun to work with. I added lots of Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink and Diamond Stickles throughout to really bring all the fussy cut images to life.
I also made a couple darling retro Christmas cards. What a fun week!
Hope these pretty projects have inspired you today. You can find these and lots more handmade goodies in my eBay shop too, so please stop by and say “hi!”
We all view the world through a different lens, and may have very strong feelings about what’s happening in it today. However, I think one thing unites us: Prima Marketing. I think we can all agree that they make the most AMAZING goodies!
This week, I worked with the Pretty Mosaic collection. What an absolute pleasure!
The paper reminds me of those old historic mansions, with crumbling tiles and high ceilings. I felt like I should be wearing an organza gown of some sort and be posing on ancient stairs. It’s so very romantic and cozy.
All my premade layouts are available in my eBay shop too! See something here that speaks to the old castle-lover in you? Stop by my shop and I can send it to you!
Thanks for taking this charming tour with me today. Happy crafting, my friend! xoxo
I found these printables on Pinterest for the butterflies in my page, if you’d like to print them too. I printed them at a 5×7 inch size to get the butterflies you see here:
Hope this pretty scrapbook project makes you as happy to look at as the joy I had while making it. Thanks for being a part of my craft community – please keep in touch!

I love Lindy’s Gang Magicals for so many reasons – one of which is their versatility. When mixed with some white gesso, it’s so super easy to make custom paint colors!
Here’s a video about the simple, one-step process (I DID say it was easy right?):
I used this technique with each of the 5 colors in the Drop Dead Diva Magicals set to make this fun mixed media scrapbook layout too! You can purchase this happy layout from my eBay shop as well (only one available).
Hope you found this colorful article inspiring! Let me know what you think. Have you used Magicals before? What is your favorite way to use them? I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback and comments. Keep in touch, and let’s make stuff! xoxo
This is my time using Ciao Bella, and I am completely in love! The illustrations are fabulous, and the paper collections include lots of great ephemeral elements to fussy cut out.
In the video below, I’ll do a flip through of The Muse collection, and make this darling “Moments” scrapbook page.
I also dyed my own seam binding to match! My handmade seam binding, as well as premade scrapbook layouts (including this one!) can be found in my eBay shop.
Hope you enjoyed this beautiful layout, and thank you so much for crafting with me!
I used the entire collection in the past couple days, and it made me so happy in my heart.
I’ve never seen a paper collection with ephemera and die-cuts like these – books, pen and ink, and 3D notebook die-cuts!
I made lots of collage-style pages using the die-cuts in the collection, along with the Cobalt and Sky Wildflowers.
Fun, right?! For the layout above, I cut around the boarder of one page and popped it up with cardboard to create a kind of shadowbox effect. The paper underneath is from Tim Holtz.
What do you think? Which page is your favorite? I sell all my premade pages in my Etsy and eBay shops too, if you’d like to add any of these layouts to your own album or shadowbox.
Thanks for taking this tour with me today! Keep in touch, and happy crafting! xoxo
The only thing more fun than making bee-themed scrapbook pages, is being able to use about a billion bee puns. You’ve been warned.
I was buzzin’this week, making cards and layouts using these adorable printables I purchased from Dots Inspiration Shop on Etsy.
I couldn’t BEE-lieve how adorable they were when I printed everything out (seriously, you should have seen my craft table. It was like a field of honeybees in the first warm day of summer, far as the eye could see).
I love the grungy look to the paper and honey, it just worked perfectly. 🙂
I really couldn’t BEEany happier with the way they all turned out.
With a little hand-dyed ribbon and flowers, these pages are happy as springtime bees in a field of dandelions.
I have a tutorial all about how to make these flowers and seam binding here:
You can find the paint and ink spray used on Amazon in the links below:
I love this color combo so much too! I can’t BEE-lieve how well it translated from spring to fall with just a change of flowers and background paper.
This last one is probably one of my favorites. I feel like I say that a lot, but honestly I just love working with paper and flowers so much!
I list all my newest scrapbook layouts and greeting cards on eBay and Etsy each Sunday too, so please stop by my shop and check out what’s available. I’m always so happy to give my creations a good home. 🙂
Hope you’ve enjoyed this quick look at my week in paper. Thanks for buzzin’over. I’m going to flutterback to work on some new goodies for next week!
Please keep in touch – I’d love to know what you think about these pages.
Follow me on YouTube, FB and Instagram too! I’d love to BEEfriends! xoxo

Page kits are one of my newest passions, and this one was so very much fun to create!
I used lots of beautiful Prima Marketing cardstock and flowers for this one of a kind 12×12 scrapbook layout! Full kit tutorial is available on my Bella Stitchery YouTube channel.
——–Only glue required. Everything else is included in the kit———–
This shabby chic page is embellished with ink, chipboard, flowers, leaves, doilies, and pink pearls!
This page has room for one photo on the page in the various pockets and comes from a smoke-free home.
Perfect for framing too!
All my layouts are made with acid free paper.
All materials will be carefully shipped in a bubble envelope for safety.
Join me for this special tutorial! I’ll show you how to make this vintage-inspired scrapbook page using some paper from Graphic 45, along with some torn and layered cardstock.
In the video, I mentioned offering the clock printable I made in Photoshop. Here’s the free sheet for you to print and use for your projects:

When I found this Bo Bunny collection that had my name as the collection title, I just had to pick it up! I love the French country look of this yellow and blue paper pad:
I love working with collection pads when making scrapbook layouts and cards because I know I’ll have lots of coordinating papers to choose from, making craft time super efficient! 🙂
I have these, along with lots of other premade scrapbook pages, available in my eBay shop.
Please let me know if there are other collections or products you’d like to see highlighted in future blog posts. Thanks so much for stopping by!
