With new products dropping into my shops almost weekly, it’s true, that I always have an abundance of layouts to share with you that support the launch of New Products.
However, nestled within those quieter moments, and the rest periods in between New Digital Scrapbook Products being launched, my talented team of creatives are still working their magic with my designs and still continue to tell their stories . . .
These are the layouts that will be showcased in my ‘The Stories We Tell’ posts. The hidden gems that you may not naturally uncover from the digital scrapbook galleries yourself, maybe life became too busy to check into your favourite community and you missed them the first time around, or maybe they got lost in the shuffle as so many other creatives are uploading their wonderful art too and the gallery fills up fast.
I hope you enjoy these inspiring layouts, uncovering the stories my team are telling and maybe they will serve as inspiration to you for scrapbooking themes or give you some fresh page design ideas.
This is you by Gaelle
Gaelle is in the spotlight first and has documented the bond between her son and gymnastics coach, they have been working together for five years.
I love her stacked photos and how she has anchored everything to the left side of the page where all of the action is happening.
Beautiful use of monochrome elements to match the black and red in the photos and Gaelle used a ready made Mixed Media Paper from one of my collections, all of the marks and stamps are already pre-arranged around a spot that’s blank for a photo placement.
The following products were used from my back catalogue - Wonderful you - The Complete Mixed Media Collection | Messy Marks - Date Stamps 2020 | Art in Simplicity Unpacked - Loaded Papers 1 | Messy Marks - Date Stamps 2023.
A work in progress by Kayla
Six or seven weeks ago, Kayla shared the news to our Creative Team that she's going to be a grandma!!
She was so inspired by all of the Word Bits in this Collection that she used many of them to help convey the theme and announcement on her page!

Grow by Ann-Sofie
Ann-Sofie journals about the opportunity she had to take a little mini-vacation with her youngest daughter. She got an insight into how much she’d grown since leaving the nest and she was so glad that she wanted to go to Öland with her. The weather wasn’t great but her daughter took it well and it showed what a wise and strong person she’s grown up to be.
The elongated lines on the ready made Mixed Media Paper from one of my collections helps to anchor the elongated photograph which Ann-Sofie has embellished beautifully using the ephemera and just a handful of elements from the collection.

How about you, what stories are you telling with my designs? Maybe you can share them with me in my new and exclusive for subscribers ‘chat’.
This is a conversation space exclusively for us—kind of like a group chat which I plan to use to post questions and gather insights and feedback from you and you can jump into the discussions.
I thought it would be fun to open up the chat to include the Stories That We Tell Posts where you can show us the pages or projects you are working on too and the stories that you are telling.
