Hi friends!
Are you ready for LOTS of scrapbooking inspiration?! Today I’m sharing 46 scrapbook layouts, including single-page and double-page designs, vacation layouts, family memories, celebrations and so much more! So grab a cup of coffee or tea and settle in.
Some of these layouts have been shared on my YouTube channel before, while others were created for our CDT Creatives membership and haven’t been shared publicly. There are all kinds of styles, colors and techniques, so hopefully you’ll find plenty of ideas for your own scrapbooking!
I’ve included photos of the layouts below, along with some details about the products and techniques I used. If there’s a process video available, I’ll link that too, so you can see exactly how the layout came together.
I hope you enjoy ALL THE INSPIRATION!
Scrapbook Layout Share Video
In the video, I’m sharing close-ups of 46 layouts and talking through the design details, products and techniques I used. You’ll see everything from layered die-cuts and embellishment clusters to interactive Flip Flaps, stamping, scrapbook sketches and more!

Photos of Scrapbook Layouts
Here’s a closer look at (most of) the layouts from the video! (You’ll have to watch the video to see them all, as some are exclusive to our membership and are only shown in the video.) I love how different they all are, and I hope they inspire you to pull out your own photos and get creative.
The photos below are of the layouts as a whole. To see close-up shots of the embellishments and details, follow me on Facebook and Instagram. That would be too many to post here!
Beach Scrapbook Layouts
Let’s start with some bright, cheerful layouts! I LOVE color, and the Beach Time Scrapbooking Kit from Stampin’ Up! was perfect for these pages.
One of my favorite details is the layered waves created with the Rolling Waves Dies. I also mixed in umbrellas, tropical leaves, shells and other embellishments to give the layouts lots of dimension. Watch this process video.
This next summer layout uses a sketch from our Creative Design Team Sketchbook Volume 7, along with embellishments from my stash. I especially love the sun, which I added a little Stickles glitter gel to for extra sparkle! It’s a great design for scraps! Watch the process video.
This next layout is another great one for scraps. You don’t even have to have full strips for all of them because the photos hide a lot. Watch the process video.
Travel and Vacation Scrapbook Layouts
Next up are layouts featuring travel memories. I love to travel with my friends and family and this past year seemed to be a record for fun trips! (Sure, technically the layouts above were travel too, but I thought they deserved their own beach theme!)
I used the Exploring Nature Scrapbooking Kit on this next layout, along with the Country Woods woodgrain paper, and some of my favorite die-cut sprigs from Nature’s Symphony. Woodgrain is one of those patterns I reach for ALL THE TIME because it coordinates with so many different collections.
Here are some photos from my Alaska cruise in June. You’ll also notice several layouts with lots of smaller photos. I love using 2×2 photos for little details that I want to remember but don’t necessarily need to print at a larger size.
When I have a lot of photos, I tend to keep my embellishing a little simpler and use more subtle patterned papers so the photos can really shine. Watch the process video.
This next layout is from the very beginning of the Alaska cruise. I used the awesome Waterside Retreat paper and another woodgrain. Watch the process video.
This next layout is from the Butchart Gardens in Victoria, Canada. It was the last stop of our Alaska cruise. I absolutely LOVE flowers and really enjoyed walking the gardens and putting this layout together with the Velvet Meadow specialty paper from Stampin’ Up. It’s actually fuzzy! This video focused on how to use busy paper, especially when you have busy photos. Watch the process video.
This next one was from the pre-cruise. I got to visit with my cousins who live in Seattle before we got on the ship. It also uses the Velvet Meadow specialty paper, along with the Moonlit Flora DSP, but in a very different way! I love getting different looks from my patterned paper. Watch the process video.
Now we’re heading to Long Beach, CA, for a layout where I documented Stampin’ Up’s Onstage event (Convention). I used the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP and my all-time favorite sprig die again from Nature’s Symphony. Seriously the best die set I’ve ever purchased!
I also added extra photos using a Flip Flap. I do this a lot and always show it in my videos, but don’t always remember to take a photo of them! So be sure to check out the Layout Share video to see all the Flip Flaps I used in various ways. Watch the process video.
Since we were already going to be in SoCal for Onstage, some of my friends and I decided to go to Disneyland and California Adventure before the event started. I am a huge theme park fan, so this was a MUST for me (I may have been the one to come up with the idea, but it was not hard to convince my friends! LOL!) This layout also uses Flip Flaps (not shown here, but are in the video). Watch the process video.
Here’s another Disney layout, but this one is from Disney World the year prior. (I definitely do not scrapbook in order!) I used one of my favorite die sets again for this layout, the Party Alphabet set. It’s an investment set but it’s a workhorse. I use it often! Watch the process video.
These last two are included in the travel section because I did have to drive a little ways. 🙂 They are both documenting scrapbook retreats I attended here in Colorado.
This first one was a team retreat last summer in Allenspark, CO. It was the first retreat that I hosted! We had team members fly in from all over the country and we had the best time!
If you are a beginner scrapbooker, I highly recommend watching this video because I concentrated on the 3 biggest questions I’m asked from beginner scrappers. Watch the process video.
This next scrapbooking retreat was in Bailey, CO and it was one of the most fun I’ve been to. I love these girls! I used a sketch from the CDT sketchbook Vol. 6. Watch the process video.
Family and Special Occasion Scrapbook Layouts
Of course, I have plenty of layouts celebrating family, friends and special occasions, too!
Some of these are full of bright colors and playful embellishments, while others have a softer, more elegant feel.
One of the things I love about scrapbooking is that every layout can have its own personality. I don’t feel like I need to stick to one particular style, and I love mixing products from different collections to create exactly what I have in mind.
This layout is documenting Easter. I love the busy paper that is on the sides of the layout – I often flank the sides of a layout like this when I have busy paper I want to use. In fact, I talked a lot about using busy paper in this video. Watch the process video.
This next layout is of my son’s birthday. I used a lot of supplies from my stash, along with the CDT Vol. 6 sketchbook and the adorable Balloon Festoon dies. Watch the process video.
This next special occasion layout is from my sister-in-law and brother-in-law’s wedding. If you’re looking for more wedding layout ideas, I also did a layout share of only wedding layouts before I gave a pile of completed layouts to them! Watch the Wedding Layout Share. You can also watch this process video.
Next up are a couple of layouts documenting school photos. I usually do a single page layout for these photos since I only use two photos, but I often struggle with single page layouts! But I especially love this design below, the torn paper is so fun! I scraplifted a layout from Wendy Meffen that I found on Pinterest. There’s that woodgrain paper again! Watch the process video.
This next school photo layout is very different! I created my own embellishments using Canva and then uploaded them to Cricut Design Space and used Print then Cut with my Cricut Maker. I don’t have a tutorial on how to do that on my YouTube channel, but I do have a very thorough, deep dive class in our CDT Membership (see April 2026 if you’re a member). I also mixed in some die-cuts and stamped images. Watch the process video.
This next one is documenting a very regular occurrence at our house and I’m so glad I have it documented: my dog watching the squirrels in our backyard. He literally does this every day and it’s so funny! In the video, I made a big mistake and showed how I fixed it. Watch the process video.
Last but certainly not least is a soccer layout. This spans a couple of seasons for my son’s team (and my husband is the coach). This one also uses a Flip Flap that you can see in the video. Watch the process video.
A Few Scrapbooking Tips From These Layouts
As I was sharing these pages, I talked about quite a few design techniques I use regularly. Here are some of my favorites!
Use scrapbook sketches to save time. I love using sketches because they give me a starting point for arranging my photos and papers. You can follow a sketch closely or change it completely to fit your photos and style. I may be biased, but our Creative Design Team sketchbooks are my favorite! They are easy to follow and include all the measurements for you.
Mix and match your supplies. Don’t feel like you have to use everything from one collection! I regularly combine papers, stamps, dies and embellishments from different collections and companies. Some of my most-used dies appear on all kinds of layouts.
Use visual triangles when embellishing. Repeating colors, shapes or embellishments in different areas helps guide your eye around the layout. You can even create multiple visual triangles with smaller clusters.
Try smaller photos. I love mixing 4×6, 3×4 and 2×2 photos (and other sizes) to fit more memories onto a page without making everything feel crowded. I have a playlist of videos showing how to do this.
Add interactive elements. Stampin’ Up! Flip Flaps are a great way to include extra photos or hidden journaling. I like attaching mine to the outside of my page protectors; you can easily flip them open.
And one of my biggest tips: Use what you have! You don’t need every new product to create beautiful layouts. Sometimes pulling out supplies you haven’t used in a while is the best inspiration of all.
What Happens to All These Finished Layouts?
My next step after filming this video was to sort the layouts by year, get the ones with completed journaling into their albums, and set aside the others to journal in one sitting.
I tend to do my journaling separately from creating my layouts. I like to batch similar tasks together, so I often create several layouts first and then come back to the journaling later.
It’s a system that works for me, and I love knowing these memories are one step closer to being preserved in our family albums!
Scrapbook Sketchbooks and Creative Resources
Many of the layouts in this video were created using sketches from our Creative Design Team Sketchbooks.
I absolutely love using sketches, especially when I have a lot of photos to scrapbook or just need a little help getting started. They’re such a great resource for making the creative process easier and faster!
You can explore our Creative Design Team Sketchbooks and find more inspiration for your next project.
We also have a CDT Creatives membership where we share exclusive scrapbooking and cardmaking classes, techniques, sketches and creative ideas. Several layouts in this video were originally created for those classes!
