Themes, layouts and inspirations
Monique used lots of pretty pattern papers from Pretty Little Studio for this quilt inspired design. The papers form a sunburst pattern on one half of the layout, stitched together for a handmade rustic look that works so well with the crafty theme. Behind the photo are a half circles for journaling and quotes, along with short borders and the title.
Take a closer look at this layout over on the Pretty Little Studio blog.

I love interactive elements on a scrapbook layout, they are so fun to create and so fun for others to play with when flipping through your album! Nathalie created this wonderful Lilypad Gate using a variety of products and techniques to go over top of a stunning outdoor photo.
The base of the two arches were die cut using rainbow shaped dies from white and green cardstocks with scored hinge flaps that adhered behind the photo. The Lilypads were created with a dry embossing folder ran through a die cut machine and then she used coordinating dies to ink blend on the beautiful colors. Inside the flaps are other elements too like another photo and a softer stenciled scene with some sentiment strips scattered all around.
