It’s Sophie here and I’ve got a new layout to share!!
I used the beautiful These Days collection for my page today and decided to go with stripes!
I used a thick white cardstock for my background and cut a few strips of the Family Ties paper in several different lengths. I placed them below my photo, machine stitched on them with white thread and also added small teared pieces of velum on each of them for more interest. I think it also adds softness to the page.
It’s Sophie on the blog today with a new layout to share !
I used the Sunkissed collection for this bright and colorful page !
I used a thick white cardstock for the background and applied dry ink on a stencil from my stash with a brush.
I layered two pieces of patterned papers from the A5 paper stack behind my black and white photo, and cut a big envelope with a metal die to insert a tag cut out of the Good Vibrations paper for my journaling.
I fussy cut beautiful florals from the Growing Wild paper to decorate around the photo and cut out cute little clouds from the Just Chillin’ paper that I placed above the photo.
I used a 3×4 card for my title and added a few Accessory Stickers as the finishing touch.
Here are more close-ups:
Ahhh Summer…! There isn’t a better collection than Sunkissed to highlight those beautiful memories!
Hi everyone, it’s Sue Plumb here to share another design team project with you. For today’s post I was tasked with scraplifting the amazingly talented Sophie Delorme, which was simultaneously exciting, but terrifying. It’s no secret I have a huge scrappy crush on Sophie’s work, so to be asked to scraplift one of her layouts was no easy feat. How would I ever choose? Or do it justice? In the end, I chose a stunning autumnal themed layout that she created a few months ago using the ‘These Days’ collection.
Here is Sophie’s layout…
And here is my take on it using the ‘Happiness’ collection…
I have to admit, the clincher that made me choose this particular layout of Sophie’s was the butterflies. And I couldn’t help but reach for the collection with my all-time favourite Cocoa Vanilla butterflies – ‘Happiness’. I think I will actually cry the day I use my last scraps of this collection.
Sophie and I have daughters that are very close in age, so just like Sophie did for her layout, I wanted to document a photo of my gorgeous girl too. Due to her position, where she was facing towards the left side of the photo I chose to mirror the design so I could position my photo closer to the left edge of the page and having her facing inwards. (Tip: always position your photos so the main subject is facing towards the larger space on your page.)
Just like Sophie’s original, I added torn paper along the bottom edge of the page; and instead of the Pocket Cards that she had used across the middle, I used pieces of patterned paper cut to size. I chose the piece with the two large butterflies and hello beautiful on it to act as my title card, which was cut from the cut apart paper. On top of the the heart paper I added some of the phrase stickers from the Accessory Sticker sheet, which I had mounted onto some pink paper to give them a little definition against the background.
From the torn paper along the bottom edge, I added fussy cut flowers spilling out and winding their way up along the right edge of the photo. these were layered to give them depth and I used foam tape under the one on the corner of the photo for even more dimension. I couldn’t help but add a little frayed gauze for some texture too.
The only item I used on my page that wasn’t from the ‘Happiness’ collection, was the small wood button that was actually from the ‘Sunkissed’ collection. ‘Happiness’ did not have wood buttons, and as Sophie had used one on her page I wanted to include one too. I also wanted to add a couple of embellishments to my photo, so I chose a small heart flag and a phrase banner from the Die Cut Ephemera pack.
I substituted the journalling from Sophie’s layout with a couple of paint swatch stickers from the Clear Sticker sheet and I like the mixed media touch they gave the page. The star of the embellishment show however, was the glorious burst of fussy cut butterflies spilling upwards from the title card. I bent their wings up from the page to give them dimension and a sense of movement. The final touch was some small splatters of navy mist (because I couldn’t have my layout too clean, could I?)
If you would like to see how I put it all together, you can watch my process video here:
Thanks for stopping by today, I’ll be back with another project again soon. Until then, happy scrapping!
It’s Sophie here and I have something fun to share with you!
Today is a scraplift swap !
I had to pick a layout from the lovely and talented Sue Plumb and scraplift it! Ohhh there were so many GORGEOUS ones to choose from…!
Here is her page:
And here is mine:
I used the beautiful These Days collection for my page. I started with a white background and added a little bit of mixed media (I used Distress Oxides) on the lower portion of the page, where my title was going to be.
I used three layers of patterned papers, just like she did, teared the central part of the upper layer and tied it to the page with a few stitches. I also hand stitched on the top of the page.
I centered three colored photos of Sabrina and Farine, mounted on tissue paper and foam adhesive, and tucked a few frames from the embellishment pack under them.
My title is a combination of the Mini Puffy Alphabet pack and letter dies from my stash.
Finally, I created a floral cluster around the photos and titles, instead of hearts, added a few butterflies and a Wood Button, and handwrote my journaling.
Here are more close-ups:
That’s a pretty faithful scraplift from the original, isn’t it? Even though the end-result, with another color scheme and collection, turns out quite different…! That’s the beauty of scraplifting !!
I hope this was inspiring for you and that you like our pages!
Sophie on the blog today with this new layout created with the No Limits collection!
I used a black and white photo of my son Gabriel holding our new puppy on the very first day that we got her.
I used a white cardstock for my background and teared a big chunk of the No Limits Nebula patterned paper that I placed on the left side of the page.
I added tissue paper and foam adhesive behind the photo and placed a layer of the colorful No Limits Latitude paper on the left side of it.
I selected a cut file from the Silhouette Studio store, cut the title directly on the white cardstock, backed the letters with two yellow 3×4 cards and hand stitched around the Paw Print. I also created a little shaker with that paw print. It’s such a beautiful addition to the page!
I wrote my journaling on another 3×4 card, added two subtitles “Out of this world” and “One of a kind” fussy cut out of the No Limits Universal paper and stamped the date.
I decorated around the photo in a diagonal design with a few hearts punched out of different patterned papers, on which I added vellum hearts. I stitched the hearts in their center and curled up their edges. A simple but sophisticated way to embellish a page!
Finally, I added Wood Epoxy Buttons and puffy stickers here and there around the page for the finishing touch.
Here are more close-ups:
I love how it turned out!
I hope you like this page and find inspiration in it!

The beautiful wreath in the center of the mood board caught my eye instantly and was the starting point for my page.
I found a wreath on the silhouette store designed by Nic Squirrell. I backed it with patterned papers from both collections, and applied white gesso lightly on some of the cherries to soften them a little bit.
The leaves are backed with a A5 patterned paper from the Happiness collection.
Before adhering the wreath to the white background, I played with Shimmerz products and Distress Oxide inks to create a simple mixed media in the same color scheme of the wreath. I also added foam adhesive behind the wreath.
I printed a photo of the tiny paws of our puppy on the very first day we got her a few weeks ago. I think they are just adorable and remind me of a cute little bunny, perfect for Easter!!
I used the name of the digital collection for my title, and embellished the page with die cuts and fussy cut butterflies from the Happiness collection.
I added a few white Nuvo Drops around the wreath as the finishing touch.
Here are more close-ups:
I love it when I create a layout based on a mood board. Although it can take any direction, the inspiration at first never disappoints!
I hope that this page was inspiring for you!
Thank you for stopping by, and Happy Easter again!
I used the No Limits collection. I decided to do a little bit of mixed media on the gorgeous “Stardust” paper that I used for my background.
I cut a cut file from Just Nick Studio and used it as a stencil to apply white acrylic paint on the center of the page. I also added white splatters.
I mounted a beautiful black and white photo of my son studying with our dog on tissue paper, foam adhesive and a few layers of patterned papers chosen from the A5 Paper Stack.
I used another Just Nick Studio cut file for my title. I used the yellow A5 paper to create the inner parts of the letters, machine stitched on them and popped them up with foam dots instead of backing the cut file with them. It creates a more dynamic title and I love the result!
I embellished around the photo with elements from the Die Cut Ephemera pack, the Puffy Stickers, the Chipboard Stickers and two Wood Buttons.
I handwrote my journaling on a die cut and placed it next to the photo.
Sophie here and I am so excited to share my very first layout with the brand-new No Limits collection!
I had to use that beautiful “Spark” patterned paper for my background!
There are a few cute frames in the Die Cut Ephemera pack, and they were my starting point to build my design. I centered a black and white photo of my daughter, mounted on foam adhesive, on my page. I cut several different patterned papers from the A5 Paper Stack to use in the frames, mounted each frame on foam adhesive as well and placed them around my photo.
My title is a Die Cut Ephemera. I also used a few beautiful Chipboard Stickers as subtitles.
I handwrote my journaling on one of the Pocket Cards. These might in fact be my favorites of the whole collection!
I embellished the page with Chipboard Stickers, Puffy stickers and Wood Buttons, all from the No Limits collection.
I created simple flowers with a flower punch from my stash to add a little bit of softness around the photo.
Here are more close-ups:
I am so happy with the result! Who says “Boys” collections were just for boys??!
I used the beautiful DayDream collection for this sweet page of my dog Fiona sleeping like an angel!
I had the idea of creating mini envelopes with my Cutting Machine in different patterned papers from the 6×8 Paper Stack. I adhered small Velcro pieces to the second and third envelope so that they could open and close easily. I let the top one open and placed a tag with my journaling in it. I added a Puffy Heart on the other two.
My background paper is the gorgeous Over The Rainbow patterned paper.
I teared a big chunk of thick white cardstock for the center of the page and two strips of the Happy Place paper beneath it.
I mounted my photo on foam adhesive and created a beautiful floral cluster on the bottom of the photo and envelopes. The flowers are from the Die Cut Ephemera pack, and cut out of the Garden Variety paper.
I added a Flair Button and fussy cut butterflies from the All Aflutter paper.
