Fall Layout

Hi! I’m here with a Fall layout to inspire you. For this page, I used the gorgeous Pumpkins & Plaid collection by Simple Stories. Have you seen it? The color palette is stunning, featuring all the beautiful tones of the season, and the designs are so versatile that you can use them for all kinds of projects and photos. The collection features trees, pumpkins, cute animals, home décor, clothing, food, flowers, and so much more. There are so many adorable details to discover!

Now, let’s take a closer look at the layout, and I’ll walk you through how I created it. And don’t forget to visit my Instagram account (@SimplyRebecaRuiz) to watch the process reel!

Makin' a Splash Layout

Hi! If you love creating multi-photo layouts, today's inspiration is for you! This time, I used six 2 3/4" x 2" photos and matted them on tags to create a fun and colorful page. The beautiful collection I used to document those memories is the Sweet Summertime by Simple Stories. The bright colors and cute embellishments make it perfect for all the summer projects. Now, let's take a look into the layout, and don't miss the process reel.

Totally Rad Layout

Hi! This colorful and happy layout I'm sharing today, was created with the Totally 80’s collection by Simple Stories. Last year, I attended the Get Creative Retreat, and it was amazing! I had such a wonderful time, and since the theme was the ’80s, this collection was perfect for documenting those memories. For this page, I chose three photos: one of me at the classroom entrance and two with Amber and Kevin, the owners of Simple Stories.

Family Let's Go See the World Layout

Hi!

Last year, while vacationing in Arizona, we visited Hole in the Stone. It was a lovely walk, and the view was absolutely amazing. To document some of the photos from our visit, I created this layout using the gorgeous Open Road collection by Simple Stories. One of the things I love most about this collection is its color palette. The earthy tones, combined with hints of mint and coral, make it perfect for documenting all kinds of photos and adventures. Let's take a closer look at the layout!

Fresh Air Layout

Hi!

When creating layouts, do you prefer to use large or small photos? For me, it depends on the collection I’m working with. If the embellishments are large, I usually prefer to use larger photos. However, if the embellishments and paper designs are smaller, I can work with smaller photos or even a combination of different sizes. In my projects, you will usually find at least one large photo because documenting memories is the main reason I scrapbook, and I want the photos to be the focus of my layouts.

For the project I’m sharing today, I used two large photos along with the stunning Simple Vintage Sand & Sea collection by Simple Stories. The beautiful floral designs and elegant details in this collection made the creative process even easier. Let’s take a closer look at this layout, and I’ll tell you how it came together.

In Perfect Harmony Layout

Hi!One of my favorite things when creating is building layers and adding texture, especially when the products make the process effortless. For this page, I used the gorgeous Simple Stories Simple Vintage Timeless Harmony collection, which is filled with elegant designs perfect for embellishing any project beautifully. In this layout, I combined several of the collection’s stunning elements — music notes, instruments, butterflies, flowers, and birds — to highlight my daughter’s photos in a wreath-inspired design that looks intricate yet is surprisingly easy to create. Let me share a little more about how this page came together!
