Smiles & Hugs Layout

Hi! This is the second layout I created with the May kit that Scrapbooking Store sent me featuring products from Fancy Pants Designs and Little Birdie. For this layout, I'm documenting two photos of my mom and I during Mother's Day. I think this is the first time I create a layout about us. She's an amazing person, with the kindness heart, and always helping everyone. It's a blessing to have her in our lives; she's the best mom and the best grandma! Now, let's talk about the design in this layout.

Happiness Layout

Hi! Last month, the owner of Scrapbooking Store contacted me and was very kind to send one of the kits they offer monthly as a subscription. It was a busy month for me, but last week I took some time to create two layouts with the kit. The kit I received features patterned papers and embellishments from Fancy Pants Designs, as well as a cute embellishment from Little Birdie. Let's take a closer look at the layout while I explain my thoughts on creating it.

You Sparkle Layout!

Hello! Today I have another 8 1/2" x 11" layout to share with you. This was the layout I submitted for the cover of the Spring/Summer 2024 issue of Scrapbooks and Cards Today Magazine. They invited three people to create a layout, and then they choose one to be in the cover and featured the other two layouts in the magazine. My layout didn't make it into the cover, but just by being invited and considered for it was an honor. You can imagine how happy and thrilled I was by receiving the invitation, wow! With no more furthers, here is my submission for the cover. I was provided with the adorable photo, the journaling and the title. If you want to see the magazine it is available i their website and you can download the digital version for free or subscribe to the printed version.

HBD! Layout

Hello! I usually scrapbook 12" x 12" layouts, but today I want to share with you an 8 1/2" x 11" layout I designed. The story behind this page is that I was invited to create a layout to be considered for the cover of the Spring/Summer 2024 issue of Scrapbook and Cards Today Magazine. I was thrilled with the invitation and couldn't decide what products to use, so I made two different layouts. This is the first one I designed, but not the one I submitted. Since I didn't use it, I made a few changes to repurpose this page because I love it and don't want to waste the products. I changed the photo, the journaling, and the title to document a photo of my daughter who recently had her birthday!

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. 

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. 

Holiday Fun Layout

Hi! The month is ending, so today I'm sharing my fifth layout using the December Main Kit from My Creative Scrapbook. This is a happy and fun layout I made for my daughter using some photos I took of her dressed as Santa's helper before going to the school party. She loves dressing up and using props.  

Merry & Bright Layout

Hello! Every year, during the Christmas season, most of the town squares in Puerto Rico are decorated. For this layout, I'm using a photo of my hometown, Isabela, from 2021. I try to photograph it every year, but this is the first time I made a layout of it. To create this page, I used the beautiful December Main Kit from My Creative Scrapbook.

Believe Layout

Hello crafty friend! Rebeca Ruiz with you today to share a Christmas double spread layout using the beautiful December Main kit from My Creative Scrapbook. To create this layout, I was inspired by one of the sketches provided with the kit this month. After finishing it, I decided to create the left side layout and made it a double spread. It was fun creating these pages and playing with all the products in the kit. Now, let's take a look at each layout and if you want to see how I made it, check the process video at the end.

Happiness Right Here Layout

 Hello! Today I'm sharing a layout I designed for Peartree Cutfiles to celebrate their 3rd birthday! This year, Peartree is having a bit of reunion including present and past design team members who are all taking part in a very special Birthday Design Team Challenge. For my layout I "peared" the cut file with my favorite product, patterned paper and this is the result.

Love Animal Kingdom Layout with Process Video

 Hi!

This month I was invited to guest design for Cut To You and I asked Gwen, the designer and owner if I can do "Magical Moments" layouts and she agreed. I was so happy and totally inspired! As you may know, I love everything about this magical place and have tons of photos from all the vacation trips we have done there, and with all the beautiful cut files she has in the store, I had my head full of ideas making it hard for me to choose which cut files to use, since they are so versatile and can be adapted easily. After a lot of thought, let's share my first layout. This time, I'm using the Banner of Love cut file and you can find the process video of this layout at the end of this post.
