Boho Vibes Workshop Layouts

I fell in love with this paper the moment I saw it, and although it was 6 x 6, I just knew I needed to create a layout with it! It was fun to make these pages, though working with 6 X 6 inch paper for a 12 X 12 layout does pose some design challenges at times, it is very possible to create great pages with smaller papers! These were designed for my August 2025 Scrapbooking Workshop and I cant wait to share them with my group of ladies who create with me each month! 

If you are in Southwestern Ontario and would like a kit, feel free to email me at crzy4scrapbooking @ yahoo. com for more information on how to order!

Happy Scrapping!

Weekend Adventures

Anyone who knows me knows that I love spending time at the cottage; it is quiet, peaceful, and just so relaxing. Anytime there is a paper that is geared towards the outdoors and being at the cottage, I am all for it! Stampin' Up! made my heart skip a beat with these papers, they have cottage written all over them!

Celebratory Sips

For this workshop, I used the Celebratory SIps designer series paper (DSP) and the Cheers and Sips stamp and die cut bundle, I also added in florals from the Impressions Abloom, stamp and die cut bundle. I just love the fun, feminine and festive way these layouts turned out.
