Quick & Easy Layout with 6x8 Paper Pad | Kathleen Schmelz

Quick & Easy Layout with 6x8 Paper Pad | Kathleen Schmelz

28 Apr 2026 1 comment

Hey Pinkfresh fans! It's Kathleen here with you today & I'm very excited to share my first project using my new Fresh Start collection - dreamed up by me and beautifully brought to life by Kaitlin Sheaffer!

If you haven't seen the full collection reveal yet, be sure to click HERE (and don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win the entire collection)!

When my package arrived, I honestly couldn’t stop creating… this is just one of many layouts I’ve made so far! What makes this page extra fun is how quick and easy it came together, all thanks to the 6x8 Paper Pad.

* Disclaimer: All products used are linked below as clickable images. If a product isn't listed, it's been discontinued.

Let's take a look at how you can recreate this layout:

  1. Start with a 12" × 12" sheet of white cardstock. Center the apricot-colored paper with the floral border (from the 6" × 8" paper pad) & adhere it using foam adhesive.
    Optional: Add a hand or machine-stitched frame around the patterned paper for extra texture.
  2. Place one or more photos along the right side of the patterned paper.
  3. To create dimension, adhere coordinating floral die cuts on top of the patterned paper using foam adhesive.
  4. Add your title along the left side using Puffy Alpha Stickers.
  5. Embellish the layout with a mix of decorative elements for a variety in texture and depth.
    Optional: Add journaling on the lines of the patterned paper.

Note: I love how adding elements like a long woodgrain chipboard sticker at the top or a paper clip “holding” the photo strip gives the page a subtle clipboard feel.

This design could easily be recreated with any collection you have in your stash and it's a great way to use your 6x8 paper pads!

I hope this layout inspires you & I would love to see what you create! Please don't forget to tag us (@pinkfreshstudio and @scatteredconfetti) on Instagram so we can see all your beautiful projects! Or join our Facebook Fan Page and share them with other fellow crafters.

-Kathleen
