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!

Shine! Layout

Hi! It's time for a layout about me. This time I'm using the gorgeous Color Me Happy collection by Simple Stories. While doing this layout, I recorded the process and prepared a reel that you can find on my Instagram (@SimplyRebecaRuiz), but let me walk you through the page, to show you some details and info about the design.

Smile Layout

Hi! A year ago, I started on the Bella Blvd's Creative Team. It was a nice experience where I got the opportunity to design projects using their colorful and fun collections. This time, I'm saying goodbye with a layout I created for the International Scrapbook Day 2026. I'm stepping down from the team to take a break. The last few months have been busy, and I'm a little tired. I will continue sharing my creations on social media as usual, so don't worry, I'm not going to disappear. I love this hobby and sharing my knowledge and creativity always brings me joy.  Maybe in the future, I'll go back to their team. Let's see what happens.
