Exploring Nature Scrapbooking Workshop Kit: 3 Double-Page Layouts + BONUS Page 🌿

If you’ve been looking for a way to beautifully document your outdoor adventures, the Exploring Nature Scrapbooking Workshop Kit from Stampin’ Up! is exactly what you need. 🌲✨

In this week’s I Made This Myself Monday, I shared three double-page 12x12 scrapbook layouts plus a BONUS single-page layout . . . all using this incredible all-in-one kit designed for memory keeping made simple. 💚

This workshop kit includes everything you need to get started: Designer Series Paper, Two-Tone Cardstock, precut images, stickers, and step-by-step instructions. Whether you’re preserving memories from a camping trip, hiking adventure, or everyday moments in nature, these layouts come together quickly while still looking polished and professional. 🌄

To elevate my pages even more, I incorporated the Earthen Toned Metallic Specialty Paper for a rich, rustic shine and added texture with Faux Bronze Pentagon embellishments. I also experimented with a fun paper crumpling and spritzing technique, which adds depth and a natural, weathered look that perfectly complements the theme. 🍂

Scrapbooking doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. With predesigned kits like this, you can focus on what matters most . . . telling your story and preserving your memories in a creative and meaningful way. ✨

Layout 1 is DONE and I am absolutely loving these outdoorsy vibes. 🌲✨

This first double-page layout from my Exploring Nature Scrapbooking Workshop Kit is all about capturing those “living in the moment” memories. 💚 Whether it’s a hiking trip, a day at the lake, or just soaking up some fresh air . . . this layout is PERFECT for documenting it all. 🌄

I am obsessed with the layered details on this one. 😍
From the bold strip across the middle to those adorable sentiment pieces like “No Boundaries, No Limits” . . . it just screams adventure. ✨

And can we talk about those little metallic accents? 🙌 The Faux Bronze Pentagons add just the right amount of texture and shine without taking away from your photos. 🍂

This layout holds:
📸 Three 3x3 photos
📸 One additional photo for storytelling

So it’s great for both highlighting moments AND adding a little journaling to remember the story behind them. 💭

Layout 2 is giving ALL the adventure vibes and I am here for it. 🌲✨

This second double-page layout from my Exploring Nature Scrapbooking Workshop Kit is all about those everyday adventures 💚 . . . the little moments, the big moments, and everything in between. 🌄

I love how this layout combines:
📸 Larger focal photos (perfect for those must-highlight memories!)
📸 Smaller photos to support the story
📝 Built-in journaling space to capture the details you never want to forget

And can we just take a second for that title . . . “everyday adventure”. 😍🙌 It’s such a great reminder that not every memory has to be BIG to be meaningful. 💭

The layered textures, soft earthy tones, and those subtle metallic accents bring everything together in such a calm, natural way. 🍂

Plus . . . that little “Things to Note” journaling spot is PERFECT for jotting down quick memories, funny moments, or even a list of what made the day special. 💚

This layout is truly one you could use over and over again for so many different occasions. 🌿

Layout 3 is the perfect way to wrap up this nature-inspired set. 🌲✨

This final double-page layout from my Exploring Nature Scrapbooking Workshop Kit is all about embracing the great outdoors 💚 and documenting those unforgettable moments spent outside. 🌄

I LOVE the deeper tones in this layout. 😍
That rich background paired with the earthy greens and pops of gold really makes your photos stand out in the best way. 🙌

This layout gives you:
📸 A mix of photo sizes for variety and storytelling
📸 Space to highlight both big moments AND little details
📝 A dedicated journaling area to capture what made the day special

And can we talk about those details?! 👇
🌲 The layered trees add so much dimension
🧭 The compass + “take the road less traveled” sentiment brings all the adventure vibes
✨ And those metallic accents tie everything together perfectly

The title “the great outdoors” says it all. 💚
This layout is just MADE for camping trips, hiking adventures, road trips, and all those memory-filled days outside. 🌿

And we have a BONUS layout. 🙌🌿

This single-page layout from my Exploring Nature Scrapbooking Workshop Kit is simple, clean, and PERFECT for highlighting one special memory. 💚

Sometimes you don’t need a full spread . . . just one photo that tells the whole story. 🌄✨

I love how this layout keeps the focus on your photo while still adding those beautiful nature-inspired details:
🌿 Soft earthy layers
🌲 Simple embellishments like trees + leaves
✨ Subtle metallic accents for just a touch of shine

Those little elements like “Hike” and “Explore” make it ideal for outdoor adventures . . . whether it’s a trail walk, scenic overlook, or just a peaceful moment outside. 🍃

And can we talk about that sentiment . . .
“Leave it better than you found it” 💚
Such a perfect reminder to pair with your nature memories 🌍

This is one of those layouts you can recreate over and over again for quick memory keeping. 🙌

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by where to start with scrapbooking, this is your reminder that it can truly be SIMPLE, FUN, and incredibly rewarding. 💚

The Exploring Nature Scrapbooking Workshop Kit takes the guesswork out of design while still leaving room for your creativity to shine. Whether you follow the instructions exactly or add your own personal touches like I did with textures and embellishments, you’ll end up with layouts that you are proud to display and revisit for years to come. 🌿

So grab your photos, set aside a little creative time, and let this kit help you turn your memories into something tangible and beautiful. Because at the end of the day . . . these are the moments worth preserving. ✨

Keeley, Where Have You Been?

Hello Everyone ... 

Sorry I've been a bit MIA this month ... yup ... the whole month has been GO, GO, GO.

Hoping to get back to sharing amazing artwork with you soon.

But until then ... I hope you enjoy my adventures as much as I have.

At the beginning of the month Sean and I flew out to Thousand Oaks, California for a little under a week to watch Nate and his Aurora Spartan Men's Volleyball Team take on #7 University California Santa Cruz, Kean out of New Jersey, Baldwin Wallace out of Ohio and #5 California Lutheran. They guys went 4-0. It was so much fun to watch.

Sean and I had some downtime so went to a planetarium. If you look super closely you can see the Hollywood sign in the far distance. We enjoyed some delicious Mexican food and margaritas, took in an UCLA vs USC Men's D1 Volleyball Match and went and supported our Badger Softball team against UCLA. It was a great trip.

Sean flew home, and then I stayed and headed to Long Beach for the Stampin' Up! Onstage Convention with four of my besties. It was a great time staying in a VRBO and hanging out. Miss them!!

Unfortunately, Wisconsin was under a Blizzard Warning the Sunday I needed to fly home, so I was trapped overnight in the Denver Airport. I made it home on Monday, but with a horrible cold yet again. I worked on Tuesday and Wednesday at my full-time job and then was suppose to attend a retreat with friends on Thursday and Friday but stayed home to try and recoup and get better ... as you guessed it ... we were travelling again. 

This time it was by car. What a great road trip it was. We headed to Pigeon Forge on Saturday for Morgan's Verona High School Softball Team's Spring Break trip. We stopped in Louisville, Kentucky on our way down so the girls could practice and split up the drive a bit. Then hit PF on Sunday. They had a scrimmage and two games while we were down there. We again rented a VRBO with four other couples and had a great time. Took in a Tennessee Softball Game, hit Dollywood, and just enjoyed some good ol' softball.

We love supporting our kids and sports has always been a HUGE part of our lives. We wouldn't change it for anything.

Last night was Morgan's last first season opener in Sun Prairie. Unfortunately, the girls lost a heartbreaker, 8-7 in a home run walk off. They will come back even stronger next Tuesday vs Middleton. 

Tonight, Nate has his last regular season volleyball match vs Wisconsin Lutheran at Aurora. His second college season sure flew by fast. Hopefully we can win the NACC tournament and head back to the NCAA tournament like last year. Fingers Crossed.

Hope you are all doing well. Excited to get back to sharing beautiful artwork again soon.
