This page uses a bunch of things from my How To Kill a Kit with Style homemade kit. I pair One Canoe Two Goldenrod and Heidi Swapp Emerson Lane papers to create a great set of photo layers. I also used two 6x6 papers to create the striped band across the middle of the background. In the video below I discuss all of my thought processes on this design!


I think the simplicity of this layout stems from the simple color scheme. I selected a few colors to use as the basis for this page. I also think this helps the photo pop! I used some plant die cuts from One Canoe Two to help create some clusters. I mainly picked these for their color match to the papers, not so much for theming. I used smaller stickers to help give the clusters more color and interest.


Again, I really hope you enjoyed this series and all of the 52 projects I shared these last three months! I've completed several projects thanks to the motivation of this project. I have some more exciting things coming so stay tuned!

Whenever I do layouts about food, I like to have a nice spot for journaling since I usually want to include some savory details! I used this label sticker from Heidi Swapp which also brings in more of the mustard color I incorporated on the layout.


To finish off this page I used some enamel dots. This is a relatively simple layout, but I love how it turned out! Let me know what you think too!

I do say that my embellishment clusters somehow turned in to one giant photo embellishment cluster, haha! I do still enjoy all of the small stickers and sequins and elements in between that make the layout look cohesive.

I decided to go for a completely alternative color scheme as opposed to the natural greens and blues I'd typically work with for nature photos. These dark floral background papers add a stark contrast to the lighter layers of the layout. The light blue polka dot paper across the two pages help give it a cohesive look that draws your eye naturally across the page. I mimick this same line of sight for the title, splitting it over the two pages! Below is the process video that shares all of the details as I created the pages.

The bottom left cluster might be my ultimate favorite. An adorable quote from One Canoe Two's paper pad, paired with a watering can and other stickers, the cutest! Navy and pink was a huge trend a few years ago in both fashion and crafting, but here I am bringing it back! What's your favorite color combo at the moment?


I did sneak in some stamping on these pages, but I almost forgot! I am a little sad that these are black inked images rather than navy, but I am taking some navy ink pad recommendations!


Looking at the two pages separately, I believe they could easily be their own individual pages. If you're struggling with double page layouts, I recommend trying to treat them as individual layouts, just using the same products.


The pink washi tape strips add a bold punch of pink power to the page and really ties in the color from the background pattern. The cluster is small but wordy so it looks quite impactful.


I enjoyed adding in small details, like sticker strips and these clear gold foiled leaf stickers at the end. I think ti added the interest that this layout needed. I hope you really enjoyed this process video and double page layout! I hope to be making some more double pagers soon as well! Thanks for stopping by!

This is a double-page spread with two 4x6 pockets on the left and four 3x4 pockets on the right. Most of these pockets are filled with photos so I had to get creative with embellishing and titling! I use the blank space in the photos as a perfect spot for small embellishment clusters and tucking in titles.


The video above gives you an idea of the full process that I went through, but if you want even more details, check out my Patreon for the real-time process video! Below are some close ups of the filler cards I designed.


Since I cut one of my photos too small for the pocket, I decided to cut it even smaller and put it on top of a 3x4 pattern paper piece. I used stickers to my advantage on this page to help create small clusters. I did include a teeny bit of stamping on these cards, which still counts in an effort to stamp more!


I hope you enjoyed this 6x8 spread! Thank you so much for stopping by! Don't forget to grab your free download below!

This small cluster is one of my favorites. That typewriter diecut from One Canoe Two is so cute! I paired it with a Heidi Swapp ampersand sticker and a puffy circle from Pinkfresh Studio. Working with this embellishment kit that I made for How To Kill a Kit With Style has been pretty easy going. It gave me a lot of choices without being overwhelming and I think I've found a way to create faster by giving myself embellishment kits.


As I mentioned earlier, I know I wanted to stamp my title. This font from Pinkfresh Studio is one of my favorite scripts (except that darn T)! I used my Versafine black ink to give it a bold feel and paired it with some round typewriter-like Thickers.

I pulled out a background paper from Pinkfresh Studio's Be You collection with these beautiful mixed media looking stripes. This inspired me to work in my own mixed media touch by stamping some fun stripes in the blank spaces. I used two stamp sets, Heidi Swapp and Basic Grey, to create some arrow rows. I used Hampton Arts Teal ink and Distress Ink in Worn Lipstick. These weren't 100% perfect matches, but it worked out in the end.





I think the title ends up adding a lot of impact on the layout. I really enjoy that I got to work on this angle. Have you ever made a layout on an angle like this? I think is only the second time I've ever given it a try. I hope you enjoyed this layout process video!

Since I don't have embellishments that match this collection, I decided to make some more of my own. I used some stamps to create some corresponding embellishments! Simply stamp and cut out for it to work! If I had a shade of blue ink to match this I would have used that instead of the black.


Another fun thing I did on this layout is layer three doilies! This helps give the vibe of the layers of the ocean and just a fun organic shape. This is another one of those accidental monochromatic layouts, but I always enjoy those.


While the clusters are simple, they still add a lot to the page. I hope you enjoyed this page and enjoy the free printable below! Thanks for stopping by!
