Sweet Beginnings Scrapbook Layout

Good Day Everyone.

So happy you're here with me today as we create a couple of scrapbook layouts using the Simple Stories Simple Vintage Junk Drawer paper collection in the 2026 January Scrapbook Kit. To create the scrapbook layouts we will be using a simple Scrapbook Sketch. Down below I have the step by step tutorial and the video process. Let's have fun and get creative! Happy Crafting ~Deb

2026 January Scrapbook Kit

Here is the scrapbook Sketch we are using for the two layouts.

For the first part of this you will pick out the two 12 x12 pattern papers for the main base.

Then cut two pieces that are 5x12 inches, adhere those across the midsection of the 12x12 base.

(its about 3 inches down from the top)

Next cut out two pieces of of pattern paper at 7 x 5 1/2 inches. these will be adhered about 1 inch from the edge. (as shown below) On one of the 12x12 base pages one will adhere to the left side and on the other 12 x12 base page one will be adhered to the right side.

Next cut out 4 photo mats at 4 1/4 x 3 1/4 inches.

Next I cut 2 black cardstock as a back border mat at 6 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches and the photo mats at 6x4 inches.

Use the sketch to place the ephemera and decorative borders at the top and bottom of the each area.

Next use your ephemera and chipboard pieces for place around your photo mats and for journaling areas.

Here is the first scrapbook page finished with the adding the title and some twine and ribbon to the tags and I added the sentiment "timeless" to the stamp at the bottom.

Beautiful & Simple Layouts for Tres Jolie

 Hi all, 

Today I wanted to share two beautiful & simple layouts I created using the July 2025 Scrapbook Kit. This kit has some beautiful papers, lovely lace and some beautiful flowers along with some nice resin pieces to make your layouts or projects pop. I used copic markers to color in my resin pieces. I hope you enjoy the step by step tutorial and you can refer to the video tutorial for more details. 

July 2025 Scrapbook Kit

PAGE #1

To start the first page layout adhere down part of the lace across the middle of your pattern paper from the Scrapbook Kit. 

Next cut out your photo mats and background mats. 

Small Photo Mats (cream cardstock) - Cut 2 @ 4x4 inches

Small Back mats (pattern paper) - Cut at 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches

Large Photo Mat - Cut @ 6x4 inches

Large Back mat (pattern paper) - 6 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches

Adhere the mats down once you have them all put together. (as shown below)

Next I colored the resin pieces from the Scrapbook Kit using Copic markers. I also used sentiments in the upper right side and the beautiful butterflies are from the July 2025 Mixed Media Kit.

PAGE #2

To start page two, Cut a piece of pattern paper that is 2 1/2 x 12 inches, tear and ink the edges. Then cut your photo mats. 

Small Photo Mats (cream cardstock) - Cut 1 @ 4x4 inches

Small Back mats (pattern paper) - Cut 1 @ 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches

Large Photo Mat - Cut @ 3 3/4 x 5 3/4 inches

Large Back mat (pattern paper) - 6 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches

Next place some double adhesive on the left side edge of the pattern paper and then adhere down the lace. 

Next slide the torn piece we inked under the lace and adhere this piece down. 

Adhere your mats together and layout and start decorating. I did use the remaining butterflies from the July 2025 Mixed Media Kit along with the flowers. I tucked in the resin clock I colored unto the flowers down on the right hand side. 

******For more details you view the video tutorial*************

Here is Page 1 finished. I did add some gold foil photo corner to the mats, I used my photo corner punch. 

Here is Page 2. I added some sentiments on either side of the small butterfly and added the photo corners to each photo mat. 

I hope you enjoyed today's step by step tutorial. I just love these two Beautiful Scrapbook Pages they both  turned out so pretty and they are so simple. We used just about everything from the July 2025 Scrapbook Kit and only scraps left over. So with this Scrapbook Kit we created 4 Layouts this month. Two interactive pages and two simple pages. I hope you get a chance to create some pages to hold your special memories.
