Great Outdoors Adventure - Simple Stories - Simple Vintage Woodlands Collection

Hi everyone!

It’s Rebecca here, sharing my second layout of the month with you. With the heat this week, it’s been lovely to escape indoors and scrap some cosy autumnal photos using the Simple Vintage Woodlands collection. You can check out the full Simple Stories collection here.


There are so many gorgeous patterned papers in this collection! After picking a few of my favourites, I cut them into 3.5 x 3.5-inch squares. I arranged them slightly off-centre and overlapped them a little to give the page a more relaxed, layered look. I then mounted my photo on white cardstock, followed by a darker patterned paper to create contrast, and placed it on top of the squares.


Next, I fussy-cut a couple of tags from the Tag Elements patterned paper, punched a gold metal eyelet through the top of each, and threaded some gold metallic thread through them for a touch of texture and shimmer.


For my title, I chose a Foam Sticker and placed it just beneath the photo, extending it with a die-cut phrase (from the Bits & Pieces) to read ‘Great Outdoors Adventure.’ I love mixing different textures and materials when building my titles — it adds so much interest and is always fun to experiment with!


I used Floral Bits & Pieces and Element Stickers to create clusters on either side of the photo. I chose several of the toadstool designs since we spotted so many of them on that woodland walk — such a fun way to bring the memory into the layout!


To finish the layout, I added a few fussy-cut butterflies and tore a section on the right side of the background. I backed the torn area with a coordinating patterned paper, which really helped balance the layout and tie everything together.

Thanks so much for stopping by and reading! I’ve really enjoyed working with the Simple Vintage Woodlands collection this month — it’s such a lovely range. It’s available in the shop now, so be sure to grab it while you can!

Take care,
Rebecca xx
