Scrapbook Layout with Beautiful Gallery DSP & Simply Beautiful Bundle

Published on August 9, 2026August 9, 2026 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escape, I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

A Note About the Products

Before we get started, I should mention that some of the products I’ve used on this page are no longer available. I’m creating this layout using products I already have in my stash, so while some items may still be current, others may have retired or sold out.

Don’t let that stop you from creating, though! You can easily substitute products from your own stash or use the layout as inspiration for your next scrapbook page.

Preserving Family Memories

The photos I’m using today are from my Aunt and Uncle’s wedding in the early 1960s. I don’t have very many details about their wedding, and I only had three photos to work with.

The third photo is tucked under a Flip Flap, and when I find out more details, I’ll be adding the journaling underneath the Flip Flap as well.

These photos have been floating around my craft room for some time, so I thought it was about time they found their way onto a scrapbook page!

How To..

Because these are black-and-white photos, you could really use any colours you like. I decided to use the beautiful Lost Lagoon and Secret Sea Two-Tone Cardstock for my page base.

The Designer Series Paper I used is from the Beautiful Gallery paper pack, now discontinued.

The Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper is 6″ x 6″, which means I needed to create a join in the centre of my 12″ x 12″ page.

To conceal the join a little, I turned one of the papers around until I found a section where the design matched as closely as possible.

Of course, another option would be to add some embellishments across the centre to disguise the join. Sometimes a few strategically placed flowers, leaves or other embellishments are all you need!

For the stamped flowers and leaves, I used the Simply Beautiful Bundle (discontinued). I stamped the images onto Basic Beige Two-Tone Cardstock using Secret Sea Ink.

After cutting the leaves out with the coordinating dies, I used a Blending Brush to add a little more Secret Sea Ink to the leaves, giving them some extra depth and dimension.

The sentiment is from the Beautifully Celebrated Bundle, which I also stamped using Secret Sea Ink.

At the time of writing, the Beautifully Celebrated Bundle is available in the Last Chance section of the Stampin’ Up! Online Store, so if it’s on your wish list, it may be worth checking before it disappears!

More Details to Come

I love that this page gives these old family photos a place to be enjoyed and remembered.

And once I have more details about my Aunt and Uncle’s wedding, I’ll be able to add the story underneath the Flip Flap — making the page even more meaningful.

Sometimes we don’t have all the information when we first start a scrapbook page, and that’s okay. The important thing is getting those precious photos out of the box, off the computer or, in my case, out of the craft room and onto a page where they can be enjoyed!

A Day to Remember

Published on June 28, 2026June 28, 2026 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escape—I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

At the moment, I’m working on an album called “All About Me.” It’s all about digging into your craft stash and using what you already have to create a fun, interactive album that’s full of memories and personality.

So grab your supplies, make yourself a cuppa, and let’s get started. Happy crafting!

Restoring a Precious Childhood Memory

The other day I was sorting through some old photos when I came across a collection that I thought had been lost forever. I was absolutely thrilled to find them! Among them was a faded, tattered photo of me taken at Marineland, Queensland, sometime around 1970 or 1971.

The photo had certainly seen better days, so I scanned it and asked ChatGPT to restore it. I was amazed by the result—it brought the photo back to life while still keeping it looking like the original. I think it did a wonderful job, and I’ll definitely be restoring more of my old damaged photos.

One thing I would recommend is being careful when using photo restoration software. Some programs can over-edit your images, changing facial features or colours so much that they no longer resemble the original photograph. I prefer a restoration that preserves the authenticity and character of the original memory.

Creating the Layout

For this scrapbook page, I went shopping in my own craft stash.

I chose the Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper and the Everyday You & Me Scrapbook Workshop Kit for the page base. I also found some leftover die cuts from the Seaside Wishes Bundle and another retired bundle whose name escapes me. Then I came across the Waves of Inspiration Bundle, and I simply had to include the pelican—it was the perfect finishing touch for a page about a day by the sea.

For the title, I used a sentiment from the Celebrate Together Stamp Set.

I love projects like this because they’re a wonderful reminder that those leftover embellishments, die cuts and papers can come together to create something truly special.

Preserving More Than Just Photos

While filming my video, I found myself reminiscing about Marineland and all the wonderful childhood memories it brought back. Afterwards, I did a little research online and found some vintage promotional images from the attraction. I printed them at 3″ x 4″ to include alongside my photos, helping to tell more of the story.

I also shared one of my favourite scrapbook tips—adding a slimline interactive page for extra photos and journaling. It’s a great way to include more photos and memories without adding another full page layout, while giving yourself plenty of room to tell the stories behind the photographs.

These extra pages add movement, interest, and space for those little details that might otherwise be forgotten—especially when documenting places that are now long gone.

Below, I’ll show you how easy it is to create your own slimline page to hold additional photos and the memories that go with them. It’s a simple addition that adds so much to your 6 x 8 album.

Let’s Scrap: This is me..

Published on May 24, 2026May 24, 2026 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escape—I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

I’ve been thinking about creating an album all about me for quite a while now, and at last I’m finally starting it… and I thought I’d bring you along for the ride.

We spend so much time scrapping about our family and others that sometimes we forget about ourselves. This album will be filled with pages about me, the things I love, and the highlights of my life. I want it to be bright, colourful, joyful, and something that inspires creativity and connection.

As we work our way through my life story, I’ll also be sharing different techniques and ideas along the way.

I’m keeping this project simple by using the 6″ x 8″ Basic Black Album by Stampin’ Up!®, along with the Variety Pack Photo Pocket Pages and the NEW 6″ x 8″ Memory Protectors.

This will also be a wonderful way to use up some of the products we’ve been hoarding away in our craft rooms. I know I have a huge collection of Memories & More Cards, so I’ll be digging through those to find subtitles, wordy bits, and little accents to add to my layouts.

Below is the layout I created for my very first page — “This Is Me…” Over the coming weeks, I’ll be adding more pages. They may not end up in the final order straight away, but we can play with that later.

Will you be joining me on Saturday mornings (please note, it may not be every Saturday) for some scrapping fun?

All About Me Handout

With the help of ChatGPT, I’ve created this great handout filled with tips, prompts, and ideas to help you create your own “All About Me” album.

Whether you’re just getting started or looking for inspiration for your next page, this guide is packed with ideas to help tell your story in a creative and meaningful way.

I hope it inspires you to dig into your memories, celebrate the little moments, and make time to scrapbook you.

First Day of High School

Published on April 13, 2026April 13, 2026 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi and welcome to my blog.

On the weekend—when I really should have been doing so many other things—I decided to spend some time scrapbooking instead. I have quite a pile of photos sitting in my craft room that I’ve been meaning to do something with, and tucked in amongst them were some “First Day of High School” photos.

There are photos of Aaron and the other boys, but theirs will have to wait for another day.

Today, I’m sharing Aaron’s FIRST DAY of Year 7—the start of his high school journey. No longer a little boy, but those very first steps into becoming a young man.

How did this page come together…

This page took me two days to complete… and it definitely challenged me! Sometimes you just need to walk away and come back later, it looked so much better the next day.

There’s not a lot of colour in the photos—apart from Joe’s bright shirt, and he isn’t the main focus—so I really wanted to create something bright and bold to bring the page to life. But no matter what I tried, nothing seemed to do the photos justice.

In the end, I decided to pull out some black and white papers from my stash and pair them with a few colourful designs to create a balanced look. The papers I chose are from the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper (a little sneak peek from the new May–August catalogue), along with a couple of sheets from a recently retired pack Lovely Garden DSP.

At last I worked it out…

I cut five strips measuring 5 x 29cm(2 x 11½”) and tore some of the edges before inking them with Pecan Pie Ink. Adhering them together first allowed me to move the piece around easily until I found the perfect placement.

From the DSP, I pulled out three key colours—Daffodil Delight, Lost Lagoon, and Timid Tiger—to build a fun, vibrant background. I added texture using a mask from my stash (from another supplier), which worked perfectly with the overall theme. A few splatters of Pretty Peacock ink helped tie everything together and subtly balance the blue in Joe’s t-shirt.

Each photo was matted in Willow White, with the main focal photo given an additional larger mat. I added a torn edge along the right-hand side for a bit of extra texture and interest, also ink around the edges (lightly).

To embellish the page, I created some playful stars using the Swirled Designs Dies (now in the Last Chance Products) in Basic Black and Pretty Peacock Two-Tone Cardstock, creating 3 embellishment clusters around the page.

For the title, I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut lettering in Basic Black and White Willow. Finally, I added a stamped and die-cut tag using the Border in Beauty Bundle (another sneak peek from the new May–August catalogue ) to highlight the date and complete the layout.

Thank you for stopping by and reading my Blog. I hope you have enjoyed my projects & that you’re inspired to get crafty!

True Blue Florals Scrapbook Layout -Product of the Month Blog Hop

Published on December 18, 2025December 18, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

Welcome to my blog! Today I’m excited to be taking part in the Product of the Month Blog Hop.

I’m joining some truly talented Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world. We’re so happy you could join us and hope you’ll find plenty of inspiration to create something of your own.

If you love discovering exclusive Stampin’ Up! products, then Product of the Month is for you. Each month features a brand-new, limited-release item that isn’t found in any catalogue or Online Exclusives. They really are something special and a lot of fun to create with.

Each product is available once per account and while stocks last, so it’s very much a “get it while you can” release.

December’s Product of the Month is True Blue Florals.

I hope you enjoy seeing how I’ve used this month’s product and that it inspires you to try something new in your own crafting.

True Blue Florals Designer Series Paper

These photos have been sitting on my desk for about 12 months, waiting for the right products to come along. These pages are all about family—my Grandfather with his sister and his son (my Dad). The other page, taken at the same time, is about four generations, always connected by love.

The True Blue Florals Designer Series Paper was the perfect choice. It picks up the blues in Aunt Enid’s skirt and scarf, as well as in my top… and, of course, blue is my favourite colour. The designs feel very traditional, but with a slight modern twist thanks to the fine-line floral details.

I chose to fussy cut the flowers—good thing I don’t mind fussy cutting!

What I used…

I pulled in a mix of products from my stash—some that are already available and others that are coming in the New Year.

The title and the sprig die (cut here in Night of Navy) are a little sneak peek from the Beautifully Celebrated Bundle, which will be available in the January–April Mini Catalogue.

The flower and leaf dies used to fill in behind and around the main flowers were cut in Willow White and Balmy Blue. These are from the Charming Day Bundle, currently found in the Last Chance Products.

To finish off the layout, I added Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots, placing them in clusters of three around the flowers for a soft touch of sparkle.

This layout was created using Stampin’ Up!’s True Blue Florals Designer Series Paper, December’s Product of the Month, combined with favourites from my stash and a sneak peek from the upcoming January–April Mini Catalogue. It’s the perfect example of how exclusive, limited-release products can bring meaningful family memories to life.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! I hope you’ve enjoyed my projects and that they’ve inspired you to get crafty.

You may be starting here or have come from another blog—either way, there’s a list below to help you hop through all the blogs and discover lots of amazing ideas.

Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop- September

Published on September 18, 2025September 17, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

Welcome to my Blog!
Today I am excited to be taking part in the Scrapbook Global Blog Hop.

I’m joining some amazingly talented Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world, and we’re so happy you’re here! Our goal is to inspire you with creative ideas that you can take and make your own.

You’ll find the links to all the other participants at the bottom of this post—be sure to check them out for even more inspiration.

This month’s Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop theme is Flip Flaps—using them in a Scrapbooking Layout or a Mini Album.

Sherry Roth is our Creative Design Team Member who chose this cool theme…

Keeping Traditions Workshop Kit and Flip Klaps

I decided to use one of the layouts from the Keeping Traditions Workshop Kit for my page and by adding Flip Flaps 3 x 3″ (7.6 x 7.6cm) was able to use more photo’s on my layout.

The photos I chose are of my family opening gifts and sharing lots of laughs together. This Christmas was extra special—it was the first time in many years that all four of my boys were home to celebrate on Christmas Day. Needless to say, we took a lot of photos (and I mean a lot!).

The original layout was designed to feature just three photos, but I had 14 that I wanted to include. Many of them had quite a bit of empty space, so trimming them down to 3″ x 3″ allowed me to highlight the best parts of each image. By also turning my page to a different orientation, I was able to fit in even more photos. It’s a simple change, but it really opened up the layout and gave me the flexibility to tell a bigger story on a single page.

✨ “All four of my boys together for Christmas—so many smiles, so many memories captured in one special day.”

That’s where Flip Flaps really came in handy! They let me showcase the photos I loved most on the outside, while tucking the extras neatly behind. By flipping them open, you can still see every memory—and I even had space to hide some journaling underneath.

❤️ “Flip Flaps let me keep every little memory in one layout—14 photos of love and joy!”

The lighting in some of my photos wasn’t perfect, but it’s amazing how trimming them down and pairing them with bright, cheerful papers really makes them come alive on the page.

Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing a little creative time with me today. I hope my project has given you some inspiration to try Flip Flaps on your own layouts or albums. Don’t forget to follow the links below to see all the other amazing projects in this month’s Scrapbook Global Blog Hop—we can’t wait to inspire you even more!

Traditions of Christmas Scrapbook Layout

Published on September 13, 2025September 13, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escape—I’m so happy you’ve stopped by.

On yesterday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created this scrapbook layout using the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up! ®.

If you love these papers and would like some extra guidance in creating your layouts, Stampin’ Up! offers the Keeping Traditions Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. This kit includes step-by-step cutting and placement guides to create three double-page layouts with ease.

The Designer Series Paper in the Workshop Kit follows the same design concept as the Suite Collection DSP, but with a few key differences: there’s no gold foiling and it also features a couple of specialty papers that are exclusive to the kit. Along with the papers, you’ll receive all the double-sided cardstock, stickers, and die cuts you need.

If you prefer more flexibility, you can purchase just the Traditions of Christmas DSP with Sticker Sheet, which does include the gold foiling. So many beautiful options to choose from depending on your crafting style!

Sketch I used…

While browsing Pinterest, I came across a scrapbook sketch that I just had to try. After some searching, I traced it back to Allison Davis.blog, where she shares an amazing collection of free sketches. This particular design comes from Sketch Week #1| How to Use and Adapt Scrapbook Sketches | Day 1, and you can even download the sketch details directly from her site.

Mixed Media Florals

Published on January 8, 2025January 8, 2025 by Michele Jutrisa

On Christmas Day all my boys were home, for the first time in a few years all of them have been together. Two of my boys brought home their partners, two beautiful girls, Georgia and Maddy.

These girls jumped in and helped me prepare Christmas Lunch…It’s so nice having more girls in the family as it has only been me. So having two beautiful daughter (by other mothers), I took the chance and took a photo or selfie of the 3 of us (or Georgia did for me).

It’s a beautiful photo and I wanted to create a special page. As yet I’m still to print the photo, so there is no photo on my page. I will print it as a 4 x 6″ and trim it down to 3 7/8″ to fit on the 4″ mat in Basic White.

I created this page using the beautiful Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card by Stampin’ Up!®. The Mixed Media Florals are one of the products found in the NEW Jan-April 2025 Mini Catalogue, also in the Online exclusives Stampin’ Up! have also released the Mixed Media Floral Suite Collection. Which includes-

Mixed Media Florals Bundle
Mixed Labels Bundle
Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper
Plaster painting 3D Embossing Folder
Low Profile Dots

For this layout I wanted to show how you can use the Memories & More Cards for a more traditional layout, so I created my layout using the 3 x 4″ Mixed Media Cards placed around the 4″ square in the center. The end cards on the top and bottom rows I had to trim down to 2 x 4″, as I wanted a staggered pattern.

Embellishments

Using the Changing Leaves bundle I die cut 6 sets of leaves. I then coloured these lightly with a blending brush and Shy Shamrock Ink. I had also die cut 3 sets of leaves in Basic Black to use instead of the white leaves and had decided not to use them..After my ‘Live’ had finished I decided they would help make the lighter leaves ‘Pop’

The left side large flower and banner embellishments was fussy cut from one of the larger 4 x 6″ cards and it looks stunning with the Boho Blue 3 x 4″ card behind it. I hopped it up on demensionals with leaves die cut from the Changing Leaves Bundle.

The top center embellishment was die cut using one of the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added dimensionals to the back and attached it to a Basic Black flagged banner, also from the Stylish shapes. I then added leaves Shy Shamrock leaves, then latter adding the black leaves also.

The last embellishment is one of the stickers that comes with the cards. After removing the stickiness with my embossing buddy I attached it to a white banner with dimensions and again slipping the leaves underneath the sticker.

To finish of my layout I added some Ladybird stickers from the sticker sheet and a double bow in white bakers twine.

Tip: I like to add dimensions or glue only to the center areas of my embellishments that allows me room to slip leaves etc underneath. I create this maybe similar to a florist where they work out there main flowers and bring them together before adding in the fillers.

Cockatoo Run

Published on October 14, 2024October 14, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

Today I am taking part in ‘Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop’. I will be joining in with some amazingly talented Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the world. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own. You will find the Links to the others participating below…..I hope you enjoy!

It has been a while since I have last taken part in this Blog Hop, so I’m really pleased I’ve managed to get everything together to play along with the others in this Blog Hop.

While going through my photos I came across these photos taken back in 2004 of my boys and two of their friends. We took the boys on a train trip on the Vintage Cockatoo Run going from Moss Vale to Robertson and back to Moss Vale.

For this double page layout I used the papers from the ‘Autumn to Remember’ Scrapbooking Workshop Kit by Stampin’ Up!®.

How I created my page…

Photo

I used 8 photos for this layout.
The top 6 photos across the top were trimmed down to 4 7/8 x 5 3/4 ( 9.8 x 14.6cm) to fit on the photo mat.
Bottom left photo 4 x 6″
Bottom right photo 4 x 4″

Layout

This is my general sketch used

Embellishments

Trees from the Peaceful Evergreen Dies were cut in Old Olive and Mossy Meadow cardstock.
Train was cut from Basic Black cardstock using a Silhouette Cameo.
Title was cut using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies, cutting in Early Espresso and Daffodil Delight Cardstock. Adhesive Sheets were added before die cutting. The letters were slightly overlapped to create a shadow effect.

Jouraling

I created a hidden journaling pocket on the second page, which is hidden behind the last photo. On top of the journaling I added a tab from the ‘Keeping Tabs Bundle and stamped ‘The Story’ from ‘Love this Moment Stamp Set. This then just slips behind the photo and you just pull up the tab to read.
