Join me on Facebook this Wednesday, July 2nd, for Workshop Wednesday!

We’ll continue in the our Keeping Scrapbooking Simple Series. We’ll be using the Creative Memories 52 Scrapbooking Project Recipe Book. I’ve selected several layouts that I consider “simple” — meaning easy paper cuts, straightforward photo placement, and just a few fun embellishments to finish it off, but there is always a “special technique”!

This week, I’ll be working with Recipe #45 on page 94 of the book, and I’ll show you how to use the project recipe to recreate a beautiful double-page layout! Don’t miss it!

Workshop Wednesday: Keeping Scrapbooking Simple — with a Coastal Twist!
by Diane Gutierrez Scrapbooking

Welcome back to Workshop Wednesday — where we focus on getting pages DONE by keeping things simple and stress-free! This week, I’m turning to the Creative Memories 52 Project Recipe Book once again and giving one of the winter-themed layouts a completely fresh look.

Instead of snowflakes and scarves, we’re heading outdoors with the NEW Coastal Scenes Theme Kit to create a beautiful layout for my daughter’s National Park scrapbook. 🌊🌲

This swap shows just how flexible these project recipes can be — with just a change in paper and a shift in theme, you can make any layout fit your story.

This week’s highlights:

A winter recipe reimagined with Coastal Scenes for a nature-loving vibe
Easy tips for adapting themed layouts to suit your own photos
Ideas for documenting travel, hikes, or park adventures with minimal fuss
A layout you can finish quickly — and feel proud of!

So grab your trimmer, your favorite adhesive, and let’s turn a simple design into something personal and meaningful. Scrapbooking doesn’t have to be complicated — it just has to tell your story.

See you at the table!

Happy scrapping,
Diane
