Time To Go! Layout

Hello! Going on vacation is always exciting for us. You can see in the photos how happy my daughters were going to Universal Studios to celebrate the high school graduation and birthday of the older one.  I took those photos when they were in the airplane, getting ready for take-off and I wanted to use them with the new Pack Your Bags collection by Simple Stories which is gorgeous, and the colors are incredible.

Lucky Layout

Hello!

Hope you are having a great day! I'm very happy to share with you my first ever layout documenting a St. Patrick's Day. We don't celebrate this day, but this year, my daughter had a casual day at school to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and of course she joined the celebration and I grab my camera to took her some photos. You know, we scrapbookers celebrate almost everything to have the perfect excuse to scrapbook some memories using beautiful products like the Simple Stories St. Patrick's Day Simple Set I'm using for this page.

I've Been Published!

 Hi!

Hope you are having a wonderful day! I'm very happy to announce the new Spring/Summer 2024 issue of Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine is available, and two of my layouts are featured on pages 6 and 66. I was given the opportunity to design one of the cover options and you can imagine how thrilled I was when I received that email! I'm very happy and honored with this opportunity. Even though mine didn't win, just to be invited and considered for the cover is a win! The other featured layout is in the Inspiration Gallery section and is a Harry Potter themed one, don't miss it!

I love making layouts and this collection inspires me to create them easily. With all the beautiful embellishments in this collection, the hardest part was choosing which ones to use and when to stop because I enjoy adding little details to my projects. Let's see how I made this layout and if you want to watch me creating it, check the process video at the end of this post.

You Are My Sunshine Layout

Hello! A few weeks ago, I made this layout and was not able to share it with you until now. To create this page, I was inspired by sketch designed by Allison Davis for Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine. I made a few changes to the sketch, but you can see the main elements in the layout. The products I used are all from Cocoa Vanilla Studio Happy Days collection. Now, let's take a closer look to the sketch and don't miss the process video at the end of this post.

Happy Birthday Layout

Hello!

The new Birthday Simple Set by Simple Stories is so fun and colorful that I couldn't resist using it to document those photos of my daughter's 18th birthday. This mini kit includes six patterned papers, two of each design and a 12" x 12" sticker sheet. To create this layout, I used four of the six designs included in the collection and some Color Vibe products. Stay with me if you want to know how I made it and what products I used.

Smile Everyday Layout

Hello!

Hope you are having a great day! Today I want to share with you a layout I designed for Simple Stories using the Noteworthy collection.

I usually don't but is important to do it and I need to try doing it more often. Let's take a look at this layout while I explain to you how I made it. If you want to see the process video, it is available at the end of this post.

XOXO Layout

Hello friends! Rebeca Ruiz (@rebeca_ruiz01) with you today sharing a lovely layout using the Valentine's Day Simple Set. This sweet and cute mini collection is perfect for documenting those photos of my daughter while she was opening a gift during Valentine's Day. She was so happy and excited about her gift that you can see it in her face. I'm so glad I was able to capture those memories and expressions in the photos, because now I can scrapbook them and they will be documented forever.

Hello There Layout

Hello!

Every scrapbook page tells a story helping us document those special moments in our lives or the lives of our loved ones. In this layout I'm sharing today, my daughter was wearing her Flight Suit for the first time in the Space Camp she attended in October 2023. It was a special day for her since she is a science and NASA lover. It was an amazing experience and we, as parents, enjoyed it through her eyes. Seeing her happy makes us happier! To help me preserve these memories I used the gorgeous January Main kit from My Creative Scrapbook

& Then This Happened Layout

Hello crafty friend! It's a new year and time to share more inspiration. This time, I'm sharing a layout made with the beautiful January Main Kit from My Creative Scrapbook. A few months ago, my daughter had the opportunity to attend Space Camp and the colors in this kit match perfectly with the colors of the photo, so I decided to document them. 

Life is Art, Create Layout

Hello!

My youngest daughter is very crafty and enjoys using paints, so when I saw the paintbrush paper, I knew I had to use it for some photos of her in action. This paper is one of the beautiful papers included in the January Main kit from My Creative Scrapbook

Kiss Me, My Love Layout

Hello! I enjoy having lunch with my hubby. Those moments are good for us to talk and have some special time together. When possible, we take at least a selfie of us during those moments. Last December, we went to a restaurant and one of the workers offered to take some pictures of us. She took a few photos, and they are all great. To document these memories, I'm using the amazing Simple Vintage Love Story collection by Simple Stories. I'm in love with this collection, it has all the things I love with an elegant and vintage style. Now, let's talk about how I made this layout.

Winter Wonder Layout

Hello crafty friend!Today I'm sharing a wintery and happy layout. For this page, I used the gorgeous Winter Wonder collection by Simple Stories. I live on a Caribbean Island where it is summer all year, and I haven't traveled in winter to any place with snow. It is in my bucket list, so hopefully one day I'm going to see snow and I'm going to take lots of photos, but in the meantime, I document this season with photos of the things we love to do in winter.

If you don't have photos in the snow, don't worry because this collection is so amazing that you can use it for other themes since many of the papers have designs not related to winter, and the floral pack is stunning! For this layout I'm using photos of my daughter drinking hot chocolate. This is something she really loves and enjoys, as you can see in the photos.

Discover Layout

Hello! Today I'm sharing another layout I made with the beautiful January Main kit from My Creative Scrapbook. This one is also from my daughter's experience in the Space Camp and what better way to document them, than with this layout using one of the sketches provided this month. Let's take a look at the layout and let me explain how I made it.

Happiest Time Together Layout

Hello!

Having a teenager at home means lots of changes and happy moments. This time I'm documenting my daughter's band camp since she started college last year and was accepted in the band. She loves music and being in this band means a lot to her and we as parents are really proud of her and all she is accomplishing. To create this happy layout, I used the January Main kit from My Creative Scrapbook which features Vicki Boutin Discover and Create collection.

Discovering Layout

Hello!

Do you love fussy cutting? I do, and to create this layout I used the January Main kit from My Creative Scrapbook and fussy cut the circles in one of the papers included. It was easy to cut them since they are big, and I love how they look and let me create my own background design.
