All I Want for Christmas Layout

 Hi!

It's almost Christmas, hope you are having a wonderful Holiday Season! Earlier this month, we had our Christmas photo session, and this is one of the photos from that day. I love this photo of my daughters; they are my most valuable and precious gift! You can feel the love between them, which fills my heart. What a better way to highlight this photo and document it than creating a layout. 

Hello December Layout

 Hi!

Hope you are having a wonderful Christmas season! This is my favorite time of the year and today I'm sharing with you my first holiday layout using a photo that I love from last year photo shooting. To create this layout, I was inspired by the Winter Floral 2 cut file from JustNick. During today, this cut file will be free in the shop, but if you miss the 12 Days of Christmas Freebies, you can purchase it in the shop along with the Pointsettia 2 to create this elegant page.

Making Memories Together Layout

 Hi!

Hope you are having a great day! I've been very busy with Christmas, since it's around the corner, but before I started making projects about my favorite season, I'm going to share this last Fall layout. For this page, I used the beautiful Autumn Frame 2 cut file from JustNick Studio. It's an easy to make layout so stay with me during this post to learn how I made it!

Always Be You Layout

 Hello! 

Hope you are doing great! It's a new month and Christmas is getting closer! While we wait for Christmas, let's try to create some Fall layouts. For me it is hard to create seasonal layouts since we basically only have one season here in Puerto Rico: summer, and some rainy days, for a change. We don't have those piles of beautiful colored leaves falling from the tress. For that, I'll need to travel and take those kinds of pictures, it is in my bucket list so maybe someday you can see them in my layouts. In the meantime, let's use beautiful fall products with the photos I've taken during this season. For me, the best choice is to match the colors in the photos with the papers and see how it works. 

First Day of School Layout

Hi!

Do you know about the wonderful Scrapbook and Card Today Magazine? If not, you need to check it. They have free digital access to the magazine, or you can subscribe to receive the printed version and let me say, this magazine is amazing.

Love This Coffee Layout with Process Video

 Hi!

A few weeks ago, we went for a family ride without any destination. Then, my husband suggested to visit Hacienda Lealtad in Lares so he and our eldest daughter could have a cup of coffee. I'm not a coffee person, she inherited this from her dad. We went to this place, which is beautiful, so they could have a cup of coffee. Here in Hacienda Lealtad, they cultivate the coffee beans they use. We had a good time there and I took photos of my daughter enjoying her cup of coffee and made this layout using three cut files from JustNick Studio and products from Cocoa Vanilla Studio. If you want to see how I made this layout, check the process video at the end of this post. 

So Much Happy Layout

Back To School Layout

Hi!

A few weeks ago, my daughter started school, and this week I was finally able to take some time and create a layout for her. In this page, I'm documenting her first day using the formal uniform. The previous year, she only used the physical education uniform because of the constant changes due to the pandemic. She was very excited to use the formal uniform, especially the shoes, which she says are like "tap dance" shoes. I took a few photos of her before leaving for school and printed three of them for this layout. It is a simple layout that you can recreate for any theme, so let's talk about how I made this page.

Wanderlust Layout

Hello!

Hope you are having a beautiful day! I'm very happy to share with you a layout I made with My Creative Scrapbook September Main Kit featuring Jen Hadfield. This kit was a little challenging for me  because I don't usually use brown in my projects. This was my first creation and after finishing it, I was in love with the result. The combination of colors works so well and the brown was a neutral color that helps everything be balance. Sometimes it is nice to work out of your comfort zone and try new things, you could be surprised with the result! Now, let's talk about how I made this page.

The Floral Spring 1 is so pretty that I couldn't resist using it, but, let me tell you, this month they are releasing many beautiful florals, so don't miss them!

New Smile Layout

Hi!

It's time for a new layout using the beautiful cut files from JustNick Studio! Today, I'm sharing with you this page I made to document my daughter's New Smile. Recently she lost her second tooth and she was quite happy. After removing the tooth, I took these pictures to remember how happy she was of not having this tooth moving in her mouth. We were in the car, waiting for some food when she told me it was painful. When I checked it, the tooth was holding by a tiny corner, so I grabbed a napkin and pulled it. She was scared at first, but then happy due to not having it anymore. But now, let's talk about how I made this page.

You Are My Sunshine (Bright) Layout

 Hi! I'm back again, this time with the second option I made for the summer cover of Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine. As mentioned in my previous post, I was invited to create one of the layouts they would consider for the cover and I was so happy, that I made two layouts to choose one for the submission. Thankfully they helped me choose one, because the votes at home were divided. The chosen one was the layout with the sunflowers cluster, but this one also reflects my style and I didn't want to throw it away so I decided to re-use it with new journaling and a photo of my daughters. The layout below is the re-used one and the other is the original (girl with sunflower). Stay with me, and let's talk about this layout!

You Are My Sunshine (Sunflowers) Layout

 Hello! Today I'm sharing with you a special layout. Well, this is the first of two layouts I made for the Summer cover of Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine. With every issue, they invite three designers to create a page that can be the cover of the magazine. You can imagine how surprised and happy I was to be considered for this. Mine was not the winner, but it was an amazing opportunity because I was considered alongside two other talented and well known scrapbookers like Nathalie DeSousa and Brianna Lepper. When they contacted me, I was so thrilled that I decided to make two layouts and choose one of them, so I made this with sunflowers to match the provided photo, and another with bright colors. I sent both layouts for them to choose which one they prefer, and the sunflower layout was the chosen one. 

I wanted to re-use the layout, but this time with a photo of my daughters. Here in this post, you can see the original version published in the magazine and how I modified it with a photo of my daughters and new journaling, everything else is the same. Below you can see the re-used layout. I choose this photo because my toddler was wearing a sunflowers dress, this way the theme will work perfectly. So, let's check both layouts and talk about the design!

Summer Layout

Hello! I'm glad you are here. Today, I'm sharing with you a layout I designed for JustNick Studio using their new Summer cut file. This design is beautiful, it has the word "summer" three times and they are joined together. I cut it in a large size to make it stand out, but this leaves only a small space for the photo and embellishments. Anyway, I love how this turned out and how fun and summery it looks, so let's talk about how I made it!
