The party continues! Here's another free scrapbook layout sketch. This layout is heavy on the journaling and light on the photos. It includes five small journaling boxes for you to document some current favorites. Use the Pazzles Pen Tool to draw the categories, or print them on your printer and cut out. (The font is too small for cutting.)
Are you celebrating this wonderful holiday? Here's another free scrapbook layout sketch. The tents on this layout are created by cutting two layers. Fold along the score lines of the top layer to open the doors of the tent before you adhere the top layer onto the bottom layer.

Each year for May Day (May 1), my kids and I make and leave baskets on neighbors and friend's doors. Our basket takes a different form every year. This year I have made a tussie mussie to stand in as a May Day Basket. A tussie mussie is traditionally a very small bouquet that is usually worn on the breast. Sometimes it is larger and held in the hands. Wikipedia says “The term tussie-mussie comes from the reign of Queen Victoria (1837–1901), when the small bouquets became a popular fashion accessory.” My tussie mussie is 12" inches tall. In the Pazzles Craft Room Library you will find many files to help you dress up your “basket.”
Don't be deceived by the title of this post. This birthday layout is for every birthday celebration, whether it's for a kid, or a kid at heart. The file includes an alternate title "Birthday Boy" and includes spots for two 4"x 6" photos and two 3"x 5" photos. Remember these sketches provide inspiration, but they also include cutting files making the sketches themselves "cuttable." You can cut out all the pieces and use the sketch just as it is displayed, or use just the base pieces and add your own premade embellishments.
Today we have released a new update to the InVue software. The next time you open your InVue software the update will be automatically applied. Thank you for continuing to offer feedback and suggestions. Here is a list of the new features: InVue Welcome Screen: When your software opens, you will now be greeted by this welcome screen. From the welcome screen you can create a new project, open a recent project, or browse to various locations in the Pazzles Craft Room. The icon for this welcome page is in the top most left corner. Clicking on the icon will open and close the welcome screen. Image Crop Added to Right Click Menu: When you have an image (jpg,png) on your page you will now have the option to select Image Crop from the right click menu. As a reminder, the image crop allows you to crop a preset shape, or custom shape from an image.
This cute Spring Cleaning Cutting Collection might just convince you that cleaning looks fun. At least I'm hoping that it works on my children. I created this little chore chart for our refrigerator so I can assign chores. When they've completed their chore, they can move the chore off their name. I love these little miniature icons and I'll probably make a name tag for myself so I can move the little pieces around too. I'm always looking for excuses to play with paper.
It's time to wrap up Elegant Cards week! I hope you've enjoyed seeing the Pazzles Design Team's beautiful creations and you've been inspired to try something new yourself. Today I have two more elegant cards for you. These layered pocket cards have a folded flap and flowers blooming out of the top. The instructions walk you through each step, so even if you feel like you are not a card maker, don't be intimidated.
Before I had kids I was all about making cards. Scrapbooking didn't have much appeal to me. Really, how many scrapbook pages could I make of my husband drinking Mtn. Dew? When I had kids I was all about scrapbooking for many years, but lately I've fallen in love with card making again. It seems somehow less important to mess up a card, than to mess up a scrapbook page. If it's been ages since you made a card, give it a try this week. We've got lots of beautiful examples for you to be inspired by, or just outright copy.
A few weeks ago I was shopping for Easter candy and came upon the cutest little container of chocolate carrots. They were packaged up like they were growing out of the container, but the cutest part was the label. The label made them look like fresh farmer's market carrots. I knew immediately I needed to create a project inspired by this cute idea. Obviously I couldn't stop thinking about that cute packaging, and so this week I created farmer's market label cards with a berry basket to package them in. This would be an adorable gift to give away or keep on your desk.
You've likely got a pile of spring themed photos waiting for a home. We've just finished up the Easter holiday and everything is blooming. Gardeners are busy planning and kids are dreaming of summer. Spring is well underway here in Idaho. Our Project Patterns in the InVue Software make it so easy to create the perfect layout to document your spring. Once you have downloaded the files you can open the Project in the InVue software and simply click to place different elements on your page. They are perfectly sized for the page and you can mix and match the elements to make dozens of different pages from one project.
A beautiful collection of monograms surrounded by a leafy wreath. Beautiful for custom gifts or home decor!
Pick a pocket and stuff it full of love, well wishes and maybe even a gift card or cash. These cards look fancy, but are very easy to make. Cut them out with three cuts and assemble them, or dress them up with embellishments. When your card is finished, they tuck inside a #10 envelope. I've included a file for the envelope liner which simply slips inside.
In real life I stink at making wreaths. I've tried and failed a few times, so I was pleasantly surprised when my paper wreaths turned out. I created these wreaths in the InVue software and it turns out having an undo button is a handy thing. If there was an undo button in real life I'm sure I could master real wreath making too.
Each of the 10 pockets cut out as one piece with a backing piece and glue tabs. Add the pocket to the inside of your card so you have the perfect place to tuck a gift card, movie tickets or cash.
