FARMHOUSE - HOME LAYOUT | with Tarrah

Today I'm sharing a layout that celebrates one of my favorite places, home! The beautiful Farmhouse Collection was the perfect choice for documenting this autumn-inspired photo of our front entry, decorated with pumpkins, florals, and all the cozy seasonal touches that make a house feel like home!

For this design, I wanted the photo to take center stage while surrounding it with everything I love about the Farmhouse collection. The classic black and white gingham patterns create a striking foundation and beautifully frame the page. I layered the Country Calico patterned paper and scalloped borders from the Fancy Frills stickers along each side to add softness and bring in the collections sweet country charm.

The large HOME title from the Chit Chat pack immediately draws the eye and creates a strong focal point. I tucked floral die cuts behind the title to soften the bold letters and added the "Welcome to Our Farmhouse" sentiment as the perfect finishing touch. The combination of florals, leaves, and warm autumn colors gives the page a welcoming feel that's perfect for documenting home memories.

To add dimension and visual interest, I created a decorative cluster of pumpkins along the bottom of the layout. The Farmhouse collection Odds & Ends pieces made this so easy! I mixed the patterned pumpkins with sunflowers, florals, and a few leafy accents to create a fun garden-inspired scene that grounds the photo beautifully. I love how the black and white gingham pumpkins tie back to the title and frame, helping the entire design feel cohesive.

A small banner embellishment featuring the phrase "Home Sweet Home" from the Chit Chat pack, helps reinforce the theme and brings another layer of detail alongside the photo. The soft oranges, yellows, mint greens, and pinks throughout the collection work together perfectly to create that warm farmhouse feel without overwhelming the page.

One of my favorite things about the Farmhouse collection is how versatile it is. Whether you're documenting family gatherings, fall memories, gardening adventures, or everyday moments at home, the collection provides endless opportunities for layering and storytelling.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope this layout inspires you to pull out your Farmhouse collection and document the special places and moments that make your house feel like home.

Happy crafting!

FARMHOUSE FALL POP UP CARDS | with Kathy

Can you believe it's already November?  I'm kicking off a month of fall inspiration featuring the Farmhouse Collection.  I just love this collection, the colors, the icons, everything is perfect for fall and Thanksgiving!  I decided to play with the Doodle Cuts from the collection and make some fun 3D fall pop up cards... take a peek...

For my first card, I used the Thankful for You Doodle Cuts featuring this adorable little turkey!  I pieced my card base and embellishments together using the dies,  papers from the 6x6 pad, some coordinating petite prints and some coordinating textured cardstock  

To add some shine and dimension, I used some puffy stickers and coordinating sprinkles.  I love the little bit of shine they add!  My sentiment is one of the words from the This & That Stickers.

How fun are those leaves!  

My second card features the Bee Happy Doodle Cuts.  I made a shaker bee hive to add as the center of my card, and filled it with some bumblebee shakers.  I put the shaker together using some lemon Candy Stripe/sprinkles petite prints, a piece of clear heavyweight acetate and some chipboard.

I used some coordinating textured cardstock for my card base and decorated it with a combination of coordinating petite prints, papers from the 6x6 pad, some puffy icon stickers and a few flower farm shaped sprinkles.  The cute, little  puffy icon sticker bees are held up in the air with strips of the clear heavyweight acetate.   My sentiment was cut from some beetle black candy stripe/sprinkles petite prints using dies from the set.

I just love a 3D card... they are so fun to give and display!  That's it for me today, thank you for stopping by to peek!

HEY PUMPKIN HAPPY HALLOWEEN MINI ALBUM | with Conny

Hello crafty friends! It’s Conny here from The Daily Life of Creativity, and today I’m sharing this fun Halloween mini album using the Hey Pumpkin Collection,

I had so much fun putting this album together with all the bright pinks, oranges, greens, and adorable Halloween patterns. I added lots of interactive pages, little pockets, flip-ups, tags, and, of course, a shaker on the front cover! Let me know your favorite page of the mini in the comments! 

Let’s get started!  Here's how I made the chipboard covers.  For the base of the mini album, you will need:(2) chipboard covers measuring 5” × 6”, and (1) chipboard spine measuring 1 1/2” × 6”.

To cover the outside of the chipboard, cut the following patterned papers: (2) pieces measuring 6 1/2” × 7 1/2” using papers Boo-tilful Bouquet and  Eek!  and  (1) piece measuring 5” × 7 3/4” for the spine using the paper Boo-tilful. Bouquet

For the inside covers, I cut (2) pieces measuring 4 7/8” × 5 7/8” and (1) piece measuring  1 1/2” × 6” for the spine. I used the paper Eek! to cover the inside of the album.

Next I created the inside pages.  For the main pages, I used black cardstock. I Cut one piece measuring 6” × 9 1/2”,  Scored at 4 1/2” and 5”. and  one piece measuring 6” × 10” scored at 5” and 5 1/2”. These pieces create the base for the interactive pages inside the album.

Next I added the flip-up pages.  The flip pages vary in size, depending on where they are placed in the album. Most are approximately 4” × 6”.  For one of the flip pages, I cut a piece measuring approximately 4” × 6”. I scored 1/2” along the 6” side to create the flip-up page 

I also added a 4 1/2” × 4 1/2” flip page, scoring 1/2” along one side for the right-side flip page.

To make the pocket, I cut a piece of cardstock measuring approximately 5 1/2” × 3 1/2”and scored  1/2” on each side to create the tabs for attaching it to the page. Use a circle punch to create a little notch at the top so the contents are easy to pull out. You can tuck journaling cards, small photos, or little messages inside.

In the photo above, I created a layered interactive section with one flip opening to the right and another opening upward. Underneath the top flip-up, I added a small pocket for extra journaling cards or little messages.

I love adding little surprises throughout my mini albums, so I included mini envelopes that are perfect for holding notes or small memories.

The envelopes measure approximately 4” × 2 1/2”, and two fit nicely on one page. I decorated them with a few stickers, including a little “Boo” and a pumpkin. These small details add so much personality without taking up too much room. I also added more 3” × 4” flip-up cards to one of the pages and embellished them with floral ephemera and stickers.

I love using the tags for additional pages, with one opening from the right and another from the left. I added ribbon for a little extra detail.

For the larger flip-up page at the end of the second base, I cut a piece measuring 4 3/4” × 6” and scored 1/2” along the 6” side to create the flip-up page. I also added another 3” × 4” card underneath it as an additional flip-up, giving me even more space for photos.

One of my favorite things about this mini album is how much photo space it has! You can add 3” × 4” photos, 4” × 4” photos, 2” × 2” photos, and 3” × 3” photos. The larger mats at the bottom can even accommodate 4” × 6” photos if you want to use them without the matting, like I did.

I embellished the pages with patterned papers, stickers, floral ephemera, and little clusters throughout the album. As always, I used foam adhesive to give my embellishments dimension and make it easier for me to add my photos later.

You don’t have to have your photos printed before creating a mini album like this. It’s also a lovely project to make as a gift, leaving the photo spots open for someone to add their own memories.

Of course, I had to add a shaker to the front cover! The shaker measures approximately 4” × 5”, and I used a sewing machine to stitch around it. If you know me, you know how much I love using my sewing machine to create shakers, so I was so happy with how this one turned out! left approximately 1/8” around the edges of the tag as a border and filled the shaker with my mixture of shaker balls, sprinkles, and confetti from the collection.

To finish it off, I added a Doodle-Pop sticker, a Happy Halloween sticker, and a few little acrylic pieces for even more dimension. The bright colors and shaker elements make the front cover such a fun introduction to the album.

I had so much fun creating this Hey Pumpkin mini album! Between the interactive pages, little envelopes, pockets, tags, and shaker cover, there are so many ways to add photos and save those Halloween memories.

I hope this gives you some ideas if you’re thinking about creating a similar mini album. Be sure to check out my Instagram for a quick look at the process and how I put the base together. Once the base is finished, you can embellish it in your own style and make it your own! Let me know what you think of this mini album. I would love to hear what you think! Happy crafting! Xo, Conny!
