Hi everyone, Rebecca here! Today I’m excited to share my second layout featuring the beautiful Nostalgic Memories collection from 49 and Market. I’ve absolutely loved how versatile this range is — it works perfectly for so many themes — and for this project I used it to document some recent autumn photos… taken at our local zoo!
Be sure to visit the shop here to see the full collection.
To begin, I cut a large circle (approximately 7 inches across) and adhered it to the centre of a sheet of Premium White Cardstock, adding a layer of foam underneath for dimension. Whenever I use a larger piece as my base, I like to lift it slightly — it instantly adds depth and makes the design feel more dynamic.
In the centre of the circle, I layered some pieces from the Laser Cut Ephemera and placed my photo on top. I printed the photo twice (again!) and slightly overlapped them to create added interest and movement.
Above and below the photo, I tucked in torn strips of patterned paper. Because the circular background features a fairly solid design, I was able to choose a busier pattern for these strips to create contrast. On either side of the photo, I added Laser Cut Florals to form fuller embellishment clusters.
To build out those clusters further, I incorporated a few acetate pieces — pulled from other 49 and Market collections! The film strip is from Krafty Garden, and the leaf sprigs are from Color Swatch Terracota. That’s one of my favourite things about scrapbooking: there are no rules, and mixing collections adds so much personality to a layout.
To extend the clusters even more, I applied some Blendable Rub-On Transfers. 49 and Market Rub-Ons are honestly some of my favourites — they apply effortlessly and blend seamlessly into the background.
For the title, I chose a piece from the Chipboard Words that reads “Treasures of the Heart.” I love how the mix of fonts adds extra visual interest and complements the nostalgic feel of the collection.
To finish the layout, I adhered a couple of die-cut butterflies and created a delicate ring around the edge of the circle using Gold Crystal Nuvo Drops. This subtle detail helps frame the design and ties everything together beautifully.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing the layouts I’ve created with the Nostalgic Memories collection and that they’ve inspired you to get creative.
I'll be back next month with more of my creations!
Take care,
Rebecca xx
