Hello everyone,
I’m always so happy to share a new project with you!
Today I’m sharing a brand new scrapbook layout, and I also created a video tutorial to
show you the full process.
This page features beautiful chipboards, especially the “pointed-doily-frames”, which I find
incredibly romantic and perfect to highlight newborn photos.

This page features beautiful chipboards, especially the “pointed-doily-frames”, which I find
incredibly romantic and perfect to highlight newborn photos.
The pictures are recent and show my grandson Milan, just a few days after his birth, with his mom.
"memories"
I made a video tutorial that you can watch HERE.
The chipboard used:
As always, I start by applying a layer of white gesso to my background. This helps prepare
the surface and gives a softer finish once the inks are added.

To embellish my chipboards, I used Distress Oxide inks, applying them in light layers to
keep a natural and vintage look.

For the “pointed-doily-frames”, I started with Antique Linen as a base color over the entire frame.
Then I added Frayed Burlap on both the inside and outside edges to create depth and bring out the details.
Finally, I added a few touches of Vintage Photo in some areas, mainly in the raised parts and small details, to add contrast while keeping a soft romantic finish.
For the “dainty-foliage” chipboards, I also used Distress Oxides, keeping the colors light and delicate: Antique Linenfirst, then small touches of Victorian Velvet and Rustic Wilderness to create subtle tones that match the paper collection beautifully.
When it came to the design, I first positioned my photos to create a balanced composition.
I used three frames to build a triangle visual design:
the main photo in the large frame at the top as the focal point,
a smaller frame at the bottom left,
and a larger frame at the bottom right.
This arrangement helps guide the eye across the entire page.
To add dimension, I glued some elements flat and raised others with 3D foam tape, creating layers and depth. I tucked the foliage and paper embellishments underneath the main frame, mostly on the left side, to fill the space while keeping the layout light and airy.
The word “memories” was inked the same way as the frames, using the same colors to keep everything cohesive. I love how beautiful it looks and how perfectly it highlights the emotion of this layout. I placed it in a way that connects the top frame to the bottom frames, reinforcing the overall structure of the page. To finish, I added a few small details like butterflies and shiny accents to bring a soft final touch.
This layout is created with the gorgeous 49 and Market – “Nostalgic Memories” paper
collection, which I absolutely love for its vintage feel and soft colors.
