Love Story Scrapbooking Layouts | 3 Double-Page 12x12 Spreads + Bonus Page Using Stampin’ Up! Workshop Kit


There is something extra special about documenting love stories. ๐Ÿ’•

For this week’s I Made This Myself Monday, I created three stunning double-page 12x12 scrapbook layouts plus a bonus single-page layout using the Love Story Scrapbooking Workshop Kit from Stampin’ Up!

This predesigned workshop kit makes scrapbooking both beautiful and approachable. Whether you are a seasoned scrapbooker or brand new to memory keeping, these coordinated supplies take the guesswork out of layout design.

The romantic color palette . . . Bubble Bath, Flirty Flamingo, Strawberry Slush, Poppy Parade, and Real Red . . . creates the perfect backdrop for Valentine’s Day memories, weddings, anniversaries, or everyday love stories.


The kit includes:
• 10 sheets of Designer Series Paper
• 7 sheets of Two-Tone Cardstock
• Precut images & stickers
• White Willow Cardstock
• Photo placeholders

To elevate the layouts even more, I added:
✨ Baker’s Twine for texture
✨ Pearlized Faceted Circles for elegant shine
✨ Layered dimension with Stampin’ Dimensionals

Scrapbooking Workshop Kits are ideal for busy crafters who want quick, cohesive layouts without sacrificing creativity. You still get to personalize, embellish, and make the pages your own . . . just without starting from scratch.

๐Ÿ’• With All My HEART ๐Ÿ’•

These Love Story Scrapbook Layouts are officially some of my favorites. ✂️๐Ÿ’—

I created this layout using the Love Story Scrapbooking Workshop Kit from Stampin’ Up! and I am OBSESSED with the layers. ๐Ÿ˜

Look at all that goodness:
❤️ XOXO patterned paper
❤️ Bold red & coral layered strips
❤️ Sparkly glitter accents
❤️ Dimension with popped-up hearts
❤️ Pearlized Faceted Circles for that perfect subtle shine ✨

The “With All My HEART” title steals the show, and I love how the vertical strip design creates movement across the entire spread. It makes your photos feel framed without overwhelming them. ๐Ÿ’•

These layouts are perfect for:
๐Ÿ’Œ Valentine’s Day memories
๐Ÿ’ Wedding & engagement albums
๐Ÿ’• Anniversary celebrations
๐Ÿ“ธ Sweet everyday moments

And can we talk about that journaling block on the second spread? It gives you the perfect spot to document “What I love most…” — which makes these pages even more meaningful. ๐Ÿฅน





๐Ÿ’• My SWEET Little One ๐Ÿ’•

Oh my goodness . . . this one melts my heart. ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’—

For the second layout in my Love Story Scrapbooking Workshop Kit series, I created this soft and sweet 12x12 double-page spread featuring the bold title:

✨ “My SWEET Little One” ✨

This layout is perfect for:
๐Ÿ‘ถ Baby memories
๐Ÿ’• Mommy & Me moments
๐Ÿ’Œ Valentine’s Day photos
๐Ÿ“ธ Everyday snapshots of your favorite little human

I absolutely love how the soft pink patterned paper creates the perfect background, while the layered reds and corals add just enough contrast to make everything pop. ❤️

Details I’m obsessed with:
๐Ÿ’— Layered heart die cuts with dimension
๐ŸŒธ Floral accents with Pearlized Faceted Circles
๐Ÿงต Baker’s Twine detail wrapping the photo mats
✨ Glitter strip accents for a subtle sparkle
๐Ÿ“ A journaling block to capture “This was a special day”

The twine detail on the vertical photo mats adds such a cozy, handmade touch . . . and it’s such an easy way to add texture without overwhelming the page ✂️

And can we talk about that red floral strip on the second page?! It grounds the layout beautifully while still keeping everything soft and sweet. ๐Ÿ’•

If you love 12x12 scrapbook layouts that are:
✔️ Predesigned but customizable
✔️ Beginner friendly
✔️ Perfect for busy crafters
✔️ Coordinated and cohesive

Then these Stampin’ Up! Scrapbooking Workshop Kits are seriously the way to go. ๐Ÿ’•






❤️ LOVE YOU ❤️

Okay . . . can we just talk about this oversized heart for a minute? ๐Ÿ˜

For Layout 3 in my Love Story Scrapbooking Workshop Kit series, I went BIG with this bold “LOVE YOU” focal point . . . and I absolutely love how it anchors the entire double-page 12x12 spread. ✂️๐Ÿ’•

This layout is perfect for:
๐Ÿ’Œ Valentine’s Day memories
๐Ÿ’ Anniversary celebrations
๐Ÿ’• Date night photos
๐Ÿ“ธ Sweet everyday snapshots
❤️ Family moments you never want to forget

What makes this layout pop:
✨ Oversized layered heart with pierced detail
๐Ÿน Arrow embellishment with rhinestone accents
๐Ÿ’– Heart-patterned Designer Series Paper
✨ Glitter strip for subtle sparkle
๐Ÿ“ท Multiple photo sizes for storytelling
๐Ÿ“ Dedicated journaling space to capture the memories

I love how the heart-patterned paper runs across the bottom of both pages . . . it creates movement and ties everything together beautifully. ๐Ÿ’— And those layered die-cut hearts in the corner add just the right amount of dimension without overwhelming the photos.

This layout feels playful, romantic, and a little dramatic . . . in the BEST way. ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ’•

If you’re looking for:
✔️ 12x12 scrapbook layout inspiration
✔️ Valentine scrapbook ideas
✔️ Stampin’ Up! workshop kit inspiration
✔️ Easy predesigned memory keeping

This one checks all the boxes. ๐Ÿ’•



๐Ÿ’– BONUS Layout – Heart Sweet ๐Ÿ’–

Okay . . . this one might be my favorite of the entire Love Story series. ๐Ÿ˜

For the Bonus Single-Page 12x12 Layout in my I Made This Myself Monday Love Story Scrapbooking Workshop, I created this bold heart-shaped circle cluster design . . . and I am OBSESSED. ๐Ÿ’•

Look at all that layered goodness:
❤️ Patterned circle die cuts
✨ Glitter accents
๐Ÿ’Œ XOXO details
๐Ÿ’– “FUN TIMES” & “Now & Always” sentiment layers
๐Ÿ’• Scattered hearts for movement
✨ Rhinestone sparkle for dimension

The way the circles build into a large heart shape gives this layout so much visual impact while still leaving room for your photos to shine. ๐Ÿ“ธ

And that “XO” in the center? Total focal point perfection. ๐Ÿ˜

This page is perfect for:
๐Ÿ’Œ Valentine’s Day memories
๐Ÿ’• Engagement photos
๐Ÿ’ Anniversary celebrations
๐Ÿ“ธ Best friend snapshots
❤️ Any day you want to document love

I love that even though this was the “bonus” layout, it feels like a statement page in an album. It would make the PERFECT opening spread to a Valentine section. ๐Ÿ’—

If you’ve been looking for:
✔️ 12x12 scrapbook layout inspiration
✔️ Valentine scrapbook ideas
✔️ Creative circle cluster techniques
✔️ Stampin’ Up! workshop kit inspiration

This one is such a fun design to recreate.

If you’ve been wanting to start scrapbooking again . . . or finally print those photos sitting on your phone . . . this is your sign. ๐Ÿ’—

Memory keeping doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. With thoughtfully designed workshop kits like this one, you can sit down at your craft table and actually finish beautiful layouts in a single afternoon. That feeling of completing pages . . . of holding your stories in your hands . . . is priceless.

I truly believe scrapbooking is one of the greatest gifts we can give our families. These albums become heirlooms. They become conversation starters. They become legacy.

So don’t wait for “someday.” Start documenting your love story today. ๐Ÿ’•

Wrapped in Cheer Paper Pumpkin Alternative Projects | Double Page Scrapbook Layouts with Stampin’ Up!


If you love stretching your crafting supplies and getting more value from your kits, you are going to love this month’s project. ๐ŸŽ✨

For this week’s I Made This Myself Monday, I worked with the November Paper Pumpkin Kit: Wrapped in Cheer from Stampin’ Up! . . . and I didn’t stop at the boxes. ๐Ÿ˜‰✂️

Watch the Fun Video . . .

This all-inclusive kit was originally designed to create eight festive goody boxes (four each of two designs), complete with coordinating tags, greenery elements, linen thread, and classic red embellishments. The traditional holiday color palette of Basic Beige, Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow, and Old Olive gives it that timeless Christmas feel we all adore. ๐ŸŽ„❤️

First, I assembled the boxes exactly as instructed. They are perfect for gift cards, small treats, table favors, or thoughtful holiday surprises.

Then I asked myself . . . how far can I stretch this kit?

Using the leftover tags, decorative greenery, and embellishments . . . along with Designer Series Paper and cardstock scraps from my Keeping Traditions Scrapbooking Workshop Kit . . . I transformed the remaining pieces into two double-page scrapbook layouts. ๐Ÿ“ธ✨

The layered tags make beautiful focal points, the greenery adds natural movement across the pages, and the rich red accents pull everything together for a cohesive holiday layout. It’s a wonderful reminder that Paper Pumpkin is not just for card makers . . . it’s an incredible resource for scrapbookers and memory keepers, too.

If you’ve ever wondered whether Paper Pumpkin can work for scrapbooking, the answer is absolutely YES. ๐Ÿ™Œ





I absolutely love how these pages came together . . . the rich neutrals, pops of Cherry Cobbler ❤️, layers of greenery ๐ŸŒฟ, and that touch of gold foil ✨ give them such a warm, elegant Christmas feel. And those tag elements? They make PERFECT focal points for layouts.

This is a great example of how Paper Pumpkin isn’t just cards or boxes . . . it’s a full creative experience that works beautifully for memory keeping too. ๐Ÿ’›

One kit . . . multiple projects . . . and plenty of room for holiday photos and journaling. ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ“–






These double-page layouts make my crafty heart so happy. ๐Ÿฅฐ✂️

I created these pages using the leftover DSP and cardstock scraps from the Keeping Traditions Scrapbooking Workshop Kit . . . and honestly, this is one of my favorite ways to create. ❤️ Nothing fancy, nothing extra . . . just smart layering, intentional placement, and letting the scraps shine. ✨

I love how the traditional Christmas colors, cozy patterns, and sweet tag details came together to create layouts that feel warm, classic, and full of holiday joy. ๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿ“ธ It’s proof that you don’t need brand-new supplies every time . . . sometimes the magic is already sitting on your desk. ๐Ÿ˜‰

These pages have plenty of space for photos, journaling, and those meaningful holiday memories we never want to forget. ๐Ÿ’ญ๐Ÿ’š

If you’re a scrapbooker who saves all the scraps (๐Ÿ™‹‍♀️ guilty!), let this be your sign to pull them out and create something beautiful with what you already have. ✂️✨

Paper Pumpkin continues to be one of my favorite ways to craft because it combines convenience, coordination, and creativity all in one beautiful orange box. ๐Ÿ’› Whether you are a beginner looking for a simple, all-inclusive project or an experienced crafter who loves finding alternative ways to stretch your supplies, these kits truly offer something for everyone.

I Made This Myself Monday is all about showing you how to think beyond the instructions, use what you already have, and create meaningful projects that preserve your memories in a way that feels achievable . . . not overwhelming.

If you’re ready to simplify your crafting while still creating stunning handmade cards, giftable projects, and scrapbook layouts, I would love to have you join my Paper Pumpkin community. Subscribe, grab your supplies, and craft right alongside me . . . because the best memories deserve to be documented beautifully. ✂️๐ŸŽ„✨
