2026 October Scrapbooking Kit
Large Tag 1
To start out trace your large tag onto the 12x12 pattern paper. Do this for both large chipboard tags.
After you trace, and cut both front and back pieces out adhere them to the large chipboard tag.
After adhering the pattern paper on the large tag I adhered the large floral piece from Scrapbook Kit and adhered it to the tag.
Here is a close up of the first finished tag. I used some of the ephemera pieces and the element pieces from the Scrapbook Kit, 49 and Market Quiet Observer paper collection.
Large Tag 2
After you have traced, cut and adhered the pattern paper to the front and back of your tag, it's time to decorate your tag. I added some chipboard to the back of my Bingo card from the ephemera packet.
I also added in some leaves from the Element packet and started using some florals and other ephemera to decorate my large tag.
For the chipboard florals I used flocking powder from my stash to decorate them I adhered them to tag on the right. After finishing my tags, I added in some star dust stickels to both tags just brushing it around the entire tag.
Here is the finished tag. I hope you enjoyed both tags and they gave you inspiration to decorate your large tags. I know we are heading into fall and winter but spring will be here soon and this Scrapbook is a beautiful way to get the Spring Fever going I encourage you to check out the 2026 October

In today's scrapbooking tutorial, we're creating a matching vintage shabby-chic 2 page layout complete with soft floral patterns, delicate lace trim, and warm woodgrain borders using the 2026 August Scrapbook Kit. As always I have the video tutorial here and the step-by-step down below. Enjoy!!
To start out for both 12x12 layout pages use a 12x12 cardstock from your stash and then cut down a pattern paper 11 7/8 x11 7/8 inches. Adhere the 11 7/8 x11 7/8 inch pattern paper on to the 12x12 cardstock piece. Do this for both layout.
Next cut 3 pieces of pattern paper 3 3/4 x 11 inches and adhere them down leaving a 1/8th inch in between the strips. I then took the beautiful lace from the Scrapbook Kit and adhered it to the top and bottom of the page. I also inked the edges of the 12x12 piece and the strips using Walnut Distress ink.
Next cut out your photo mats - Cut 3 @ 4 1/4 x 61/4 inches, then cut pattern paper 4 x6 inches and adhere them on top. I laid them down staggered.
Here is the finished layout with embellishments from the August Scrapbook Kit. I also painted and colored the little chipboard jar with flowers piece down in the right hand corner and added a journal card for dates and other info below if needed.
To begin the 2nd layout you'll follow the same measurements we did for the first layout. Use a 12x12 cardstock from your stash and then cut down a pattern paper 11 7/8 x11 7/8 inches.
Adhere the 11 7/8 x11 7/8 inch pattern paper on to the 12x12 cardstock piece and ink the edges.
Then cut a piece of pattern paper at 10 3/4 x 10 3/4 inches; adhere down on top of the wooden plank pattern paper.
Next cut 1 piece of cardstock @8 1/4 x 8 1/4 inches, ink edges; cut 1 pattern paper @ 8 x 8 inches adhere down onto the cardstock, inking edges. Then adhere the piece down in a diamond shape as shown below.
Add in the photo mats, cut 1 at 4 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches, pattern paper at 4 x6; cut 2 @ 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches, then cut 2 pattern paper pieces @ 4x4 inches. Adhere the pieces down as shown below.
Here is the finished layout showing the embellishments I used. I used the chipboard fence that is inked with Walnut Stain Distressed Ink. I fussy cut out some the flowers ad the heart. I also used the sentiments from the Card Kit sticker pack and cut flags to add a little color.
I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial, whether you're scrapbooking wedding memories, family moments, or everyday highlights, these layouts show you how to layer patterned papers, mats and die-cuts for maximum visual texture without overcrowding your photos.

Welcome back! Today we are crafting a gorgeous, rustic inspired "Home Sweet Home" Recipe Folio perfect for organizing your favorite family recipes, kitchen notes, and cherished culinary memories. This rustic mini folio features beautiful wooden plank textures, cozy kitchen ephemera, and a dimensional flower magnetic closure strap to keep everything securely tucked away. For this project we will used the Tres Jolie 2026 August Scrapbook Kit.
Let's start by cutting some cardstock you will need 3 pieces cut at 8x9 inches.
Next Score only 2 pieces, starting at 1/2 inch then score 5/8, 3/4, 7/8, 1, 1/14 inches. You should have multiple score lines like the photo below.
*****Please follow Video Tutorial for more Details*****
Now the piece that wasn't scored will be adhered in the middle. Place adhesive or glue to the 1/2 inch scored area and adhere the middle piece to the 1/2 inch scored area. Do this for the right and left hand side. *****Please follow Video Tutorial for more Details*****
In the Video Tutorial I had cut 8 pieces of cardstock at 6 1/2 x 8 3/4 inches, I ended up cutting 10. At the center score line cut the 1/2 inch piece off, which is shown in the photo below.
*****Please follow Video Tutorial for more Details*****
Then place adhesive on the 1/2 inch pieces and adhere down.
*****Please follow Video Tutorial for more Details*****
I created hinges for all the pockets using scraps from the pockets we made. Cut your long strips into 1 inch strips, score 1/2 inch and fold. Adhere the folded end to the edge of the pocket fold and snip off any excess strip.
Next I covered the outside and inside of the folio. For the middle section you made this a large pocket. Place adhesive on the left, right and bottom of your middle panel and create a little notch to the top with a circle punch, using only the half of the circle.
*****Please follow Video Tutorial for more Details*****
Next place lace down on the 1/2 inch hinge flap and add adhesive on top.
*****Please follow Video Tutorial for more Details*****
Adhere down the pocket to the left side of the folio.

Photos below show the left and right side of the folio waterfall created using the pockets we created.
*****Please follow Video Tutorial for more Details*****
Next add a pocket below each of the waterfalls.
Cut a piece of pattern paper at 7 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches, Score at 1/2 inch on the left, right and bottom.
Fold over and adhere down the 1/2inch flaps.
*****Please follow Video Tutorial for more Details*****
Photo below shows the pockets on each side of the folio. I also decorated each pocket using the elements from the paper collection.
Next we created a closure. Cut two pieces 1 - 8 x 1/2 inches; 2 - 8 x 1 1/4 inches adhere together. I placed 3 magnets on the inside and adhered the flower embellishment to the top (front). I also added a little pattern paper torn on the top and bottom with the other magnets underneath.
Here is the finished front with the "Home Sweet Home" chipboard piece along with the elements fussy cut from the paper collection.
Here is the finished inside.
I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial, as we constructed the base, laid down decorative paper layers, and added charming embellishments. At the end we created a beautiful handmade Rustic Recipe Folio, whether you're making a family heirloom keepsake or a thoughtful handmade gift.

In today's video, I' sharing a step-by-step process for creating these vintage-inspired scrapbook layouts packed with texture, distressed elements, and warm ephemera using the 2026 July Scrapbook Kit. Whether you're documenting travel memories, old family photographs, or everyday moments, the vintage collage style adds so much character to your memory-keeping.
2026 July Scrapbook Kit
Layout #1
To start out I cut out all of the elements from the cut apart sheet to have the available if needed. I then cut the inside of the large envelope using an xacto knife to create an opening for my photo. I also cut an opening in the paper to slide the envelope underneath the post card that is part of the 12x12 paper images.
***View Video Tutorial for details***
Next I added some of the ephemera pieces and adhered a piece of the burlap trim under the envelop photo mat in the upper left hand corner. I also used the diamond chipboard piece and papered it using the papers from the Scrapbook Kit.
Here is the finished Layout. I did use a large piece of the burlap trim along with a piece of ephemera on the bottom. I added other ephemera pieces throughout the layout. Photo mats measure 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches and 4 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches.

Layout #2
For this second layout I cut photo mats 5 1/4 x 3 3/4 inches. I placed a few pieces of ephemera cut out from the cut apart sheets and tucked a ticket and clock under the photo mat.
****View Video Tutorial for more details****
I papered the remaining diamond chipboard pieces and adhered at the bottom of the photo mat. ****View Video Tutorial for more details****
