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!
Watercolor and stencil backgrounds are my new favorite way to design scrapbook layouts. I love the versatility, and the fact that every time turns out a little bit different.
I also added some stencil and stamping ink for the polka dots.
The page pops with the bold, bright colors of these Prima Marketing flowers. I love the sherbet shades of oranges and corals in the Paradisia collection.
This was such a fun page to make. I love experimenting with color and balance in the collage. Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you were inspired today! xoxo
My sister gave me a package of foil transfer from Prima Marketing, and it’s been in my drawer for about…a year. I just didn’t know what it was or how to use it.
Cut to – I had a custom request for some Pink Floyd scrapbook pages. I knew I would have to make my own background papers for something like this, and -BAM!- the package of foil was opened.
I have to say, it’s pretty magical. And SUUUUUUUUUUUUPER easy to use.
For my layouts, I decided to use spray adhesive and stencils. I sprayed the adhesive through the stencil onto my card stock and when it was *almost* dry, stuck the foil paper (shiny side up) onto it (I also gave it a hardy rub, just in case) and… instant glam!
I have used several packs since. They work so well on black paper, and I can’t seem to get such magnificent color and shine with any other embellishment. You can purchase some here, if you want to give it a go. Prima Marketing carries them in several shades, but this is the package I used for these pages.
Try ’em out, and let me know how they worked! I would love to see pictures of your finished projects! Happy crafting, and shine on!
Ok. This is my new favorite way to scrapbook. I remember watching several YouTube videos about Lindy’s Gang shakers and I thinking, “THAT is how all these cool mixed media pages look like that. Holy smokes.” (that was my actual interior dialogue).
I bought this ten pack on Amazon last week to try them out:
And my life has changed forever.
Here are some more pages I made this week using the shakers and just some water spray…
Literally just shake them onto your paper and spray with water. I didn’t even need a paintbrush.
For the bright purple color in the first layout, I also added Dylusions ink sprays to make the color bolder. I found that if the paper was wet enough, they blended really well with the powder pinks from Lindy’s Gang.
Hope these pages inspire you to get messy! Please let me know if you’d like a video tutorial as well. I’m super excited about my new-found artistry!
I recently made this birthday card for a very special 4-yr-old. I thought the image looked just like her, so I was excited to make this unique greeting for her.
I was also in the middle of moving, so I only had about 1/2 my scrapbook supplies on hand (how did I make it through without my goodies, you ask? It wasn’t easy!)
I had no access to buttons, brads or ribbon, so I had to be a bit creative. 🙂
I went a little Stickles crazy here and then embellished the card with tons of flowers and rhinestones. The scalloped ovals and swirls in the corners are from the Storybook Cricut cartridge.
I have been having so much fun with the Sun Kissed line from Bo Bunny this week! I find myself using it over and over again. The colors are so bold and beautiful ~ perfect for summer pages! I just finished the layout pictured above. I love scrapping ordinary days. Many times, they’re even more fun to work with than holiday pages (too much pressure to make Christmas pages as magical as the holiday!)
The picture really captured the season for me. I can’t count how many times Jackson has “helped” water the plants, only to come to the door covered in mud and soaking wet!
Jack and his cousin had a “blast” with the Buzz Lightyear rocket water toy. Again, Bo Bunny was the perfect fit!
The paper really lends itself to cutting out sections and layering.
Another fun summer memory has been the day we played Minute to Win It games in Nana’s backyard. We had SO much fun and I cannot remember the last time I laughed so hard!
My mom was the first person to win a game (apple stacking). This picture is worth a thousand words ~ it’s one of my favorite images of her.
I’ve also started cutting and layering the Bo Bunny Sun Kissed line for my summer cards. I had lots of fun with this collage greeting. I used a kitschy pin-up and added her to the Bo Bunny banner journaling square. Then, I inked some orange onto the card and added some 3D clouds.
