Sam couldn’t resist the gorgeous florals in this month’s kit—they practically screamed “Mother’s Day card!” right from the start. The soft colors and elegant blooms set the perfect tone for a heartfelt handmade card. But even though that was the original inspiration, the sentiment Sam chose is super versatile. With a simple swap or even as-is, this card could easily work as an encouragement, thank you, or just-because note to brighten someone’s day. For this design, Sam stuck to the main kit only—using both patterned paper and coordinating stickers to bring the card to life. It's a great example of how much you can create with just the essentials from the kit!

Last summer, Sam and the family took a road trip out west to check out a few college campuses. On the drive from Montana to Wyoming, they carved out a day to explore Yellowstone—and one of their first stops was the stunning Mammoth Hot Springs. The swirling colors of the mineral terraces were absolutely mesmerizing, and when Sam sat down to scrapbook the moment, April’s kit instantly came to mind. The watercolor patterns in the paper mimicked those vibrant, natural hues perfectly.

To bring even more life to the layout, Sam layered in a piece of yellow floral paper for a fun pop of color. The finishing touches came from a mix of embellishments—some from the main kit and a few extras from the upgraded embellishment pack. Together, everything came together to capture the magic of that unforgettable day in the park.

While April’s kit is bursting with florals, Sam proved it’s still totally perfect for scrapping boy-themed layouts too. For this page, Sam leaned into the cooler side of the color palette—sticking mostly to greens and blues to keep the vibe more outdoorsy and masculine. Instead of using the bold floral prints, Sam chose papers with abstract designs and soft fern patterns, which added texture without feeling too flowery. To finish it off, Sam pulled embellishments from both the main kit and the upgraded embellishment kit, mixing and matching just the right pieces to complement the photos without overpowering them. It’s a great example of how versatile this kit can be with just a little creative thinking!
