Themes, layouts and inspirations
Wow, check out this amazing layout from Paige Taylor Evans! I love the super clever idea of having her daughter appear to look as if she’s holding a bunch of balloons and then she add her own handmade balloon bouquet to the page. Using lots of fussy cut and punched paper hearts and stitching she created this large focal point.

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.
