Hello! It's Jana Eubank. I'm back with another scrapbook page. This time I have a girly, birthday layout featuring the Bloom collection!

If you're having a hard time deciding which patterned paper to cut into first, why not cut a piece from ALL of them and layer them together for a fun, textural photo mat? That's what I did on today's page. Take a closer look below!

After matting my photo, I further framed it by capping it along the top and bottom with my title. I split the phrase, placing one word on top of the picture and the other on the bottom. I then added a black cardstock circle to the right corner along with heart die cuts from the Bits & Pieces pack to frame it even further.

At the bottom of the page, I used the fancy journaling block cut from the 4x6 Elements Paper. Next, I fussy-cut lots and lots of flowers from the Today's the Day paper and the Inspired paper to tuck behind each element of the design. This married everything together and added a fresh, floral feel!

The result is a sweet birthday page perfect for any girl in your life ... maybe even a birthday page about yourself!

Thanks for coming by!

It's rare that you find a collection for boys that can span all the way from when they are toddlers to teens and the Lil' Dude collection does just that! Hello! Jana Eubank here with a birthday layout featuring my son, Owen.

The 4x4 Elements paper played a big role in this design. I not only used one of the squares for my title ...

... but also as page elements scattered below the title. Here you can see where I fussy-cut the speech bubbles from another one of the 4x4 Elements, as well as how I punched out the circle journaling block.

I also punched the "It's a Boys World" from the 3x4 Elements to use as a page accent.

At the top of the page, I used a smaller circle punch to punch the "So Rad" circle from the 2x2 Elements.

After I placed the larger pieces, I came back in with the die cuts from the Bits & PIeces pack and the puffy stickers to fill in the spaces.

I love how this design grabs your attention at the top of the page with the title and the photos and then leads your eye down the "waterfall" of page elements through the journaling and then finally ending on the photo at the bottom of the layout.

Thanks for joining me today! I hope you felt inspired to create a scrapbook page of your own. 

See you next time!

Hello, everyone! Jana Eubank here today with a layout using the Hometown USA collection. I was inspired by the quilt-like pattern of the All American paper to create a large pieced star on my page.

Take a look at my page below!

I cut the geometric star with my Silhoeutte Cameo machine and then backed each section with various patterned papers. I even utilized the 3x4 and 4x6 cut apart cards of the Elements paper. Next, I created another star from two shades of blue cardstock to layer on top, then decorated the center of this star with two more stars cut from navy cardstock and red glitter cardstock. 

I used a few dies from my stash to die cut my title from navy and red glitter cardstock. I love the picnic elements included on thie 6x12 Sticker sheet because they were perfect to emphasize the topic of my page ... our family's patriotic picnic! 

The new "It's a Date" stamps are perfect for adding the date to your scrapbook pages, like I did here.

I placed my photos on top of one another to the right of the star and then accented them with more of the adorable stickers from the 6x12 Sticker Sheet. I especially love the bike and those festive balloons!

The page was feeling visually heavy on the right side, so to balance it out I mimicked the three photos by lining up three of the square stickers from the sticker sheet in the top left corner of the page. I matted a couple of them with navy cardstock to tie them in with the navy cardstock of the large star.

Celebrating the Fourth of July is one of my favorite things about summer! I love getting together with family, laughing, watching parades, and eating good food. How do you celebrate the holiday? Have you scrapbooked it? If not, be sure to take photos of your favorite things about your celebration and make a page to document your traditions. You will be so glad that you did!
