Hello, 49 and Market Friends,
Today I want to share with you my last layout using Curiosities in Willow Grove collection, which perfectly captured the peaceful and colorful atmosphere of this day by the lake, in Puerto Natales, Patagonia de Chile. The soft blues and warm earthy tones from the papers and embellishments matched the colors of the sky and the reflections in the photos, creating a harmonious and cohesive design. My kids enjoyed this trip so much and when they are together and happy is the most beautiful moment for me.
I wanted the photos to be the focal point, so I used smaller frames from Documented Frame Necessities pack around the main image to create a visual story — like different glimpses of the same moment. This layering technique adds dimension and rhythm to the page, inviting the viewer to follow the flow of the photos.
For the background, I combined soft stenciling with Pink Sands dye ink from Ranger to add warmth and texture. The layered die-cuts, stitched elements, and touches of rub-ons brought depth and detail, while the butterflies and florals added movement and a natural touch to the page.
Added title and subtitles from Chipboard Bits pack and Journaling bits set. This collection really makes me happy.
This layout celebrates adventure, connection, and the beauty of everyday moments shared outdoors. Each layer tells a small part of the story, reminding us that life is made of little chapters — each one unique, colorful, and worth remembering.
