There’s something incredibly satisfying about sitting down with a pile of coordinating scrapbook supplies and ending up with beautiful pages ready for your photos and memories. πΈ
For this week’s I Made This Myself Monday, I’m sharing the completed scrapbook layouts I made while playing with the Stampin’ Up! Life in Bloom Scrapbooking Workshop Kit (167862).
And yes . . . there are FOUR double-page layouts to see. ✂️πΈ
What Is the Life in Bloom Scrapbooking Workshop Kit?
Workshop Kits are wonderful if you love scrapbooking but don’t necessarily love spending hours trying to decide which papers, colors, and embellishments work together. They’re also a great introduction for someone who is brand new to scrapbooking.
The kit includes:
Step-by-step instructions
9 sheets of Designer Series Paper
5 sheets of Two-Tone Cardstock
1 sheet of White Willow Cardstock
3 sheets of printed stickers and precut images
Photo placeholders
The color palette is absolutely gorgeous: Basic Beige, Blackberry Bliss, Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake, Darling Duckling, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist, and Pretty Peacock.
It’s bright and fresh without feeling overly themed, which means these scrapbook layouts could work beautifully with all kinds of photographs and memories.
These little adhesive-backed embellishments come in Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green, and white, and each one has metallic flecks that catch the light.
You receive 180 Shimmering Dots in 4 mm and 5 mm sizes, so there are plenty to play with.
It’s one of those tiny details that can make a surprisingly big difference on a scrapbook page. A few strategically placed embellishments add texture, dimension, and sparkle without overwhelming your photographs.
In this week’s video, I’m not creating the layouts from beginning to end. Instead, I’m sharing my completed artwork and taking you on a tour of each finished two-page spread. You’ll be able to see the papers, embellishments, layering, details, and the ways I personalized the original workshop designs.
And, of course, you’ll get to see that bonus fourth layout created with the remaining supplies. π

Scrapbooking Made Easier . . .
One reason I enjoy Stampin’ Up! Scrapbooking Workshop Kits is the flexibility.
Follow the instructions exactly. Change a few things. Move your photos around. Add extra embellishments. Use different photos. Or take the basic design and make it completely your own.
There’s no scrapbook police. π
The important part is getting those photographs off your phone and into albums where the stories behind them can be enjoyed again and again.
And that is exactly what I Made This Myself Monday is about . . . sharing what I’ve already been creating and hopefully giving you an idea or two that makes YOU want to create something too.
πΈ EXCLUSIVE BONUS FROM KEELEY’S KREATIONS
Want even MORE creative possibilities from your Life in Bloom Scrapbooking Workshop Kit? I’ve created an exclusive BONUS scrapbook layout . . . and I’m sharing the complete layout guide with my customers. π✂️πΈ
πΈ FREE BONUS LAYOUT GUIDE with a $50+ order, including the purchase of the Life in Bloom Scrapbooking Workshop Kit.
Once I receive your qualifying order, I’ll email the Bonus Layout Guide directly to you so you can recreate my additional layout at home. π
Already own the Life in Bloom kit? No worries. You can purchase my Bonus Layout Guide for just $5. Simply message me for payment options.
✨ This guide is exclusive to Keeley’s Kreations customers and gives you another fun way to stretch those beautiful Life in Bloom supplies even further.
There is SO much I love about this one! The rich green background paired with Darling Duckling, Coastal Cabana, Blackberry Bliss and Basic Beige is such a fun combination. And can we talk about those gorgeous dimensional florals? ππΏ
But look a little closer . . . π✨
I added some extra sparkle with the Shimmering Dots (167949) and I LOVE the way those tiny Coastal Cabana dots pop against the green! They’re small, but they add just the right finishing touch. π
This is one of the three double-page layouts included in the Life in Bloom Scrapbooking Workshop Kit, so the design work is already done for you. You get the step-by-step instructions, patterned papers, cardstock, stickers, precut pieces and photo placeholders to help you put it all together. ✂️πΈ
π¬ What catches your eye first on Layout #1 — the greenery, the purple sparkle, or those adorable little flowers?
And there are so many little details to discover. π The lattice-style accents tucked behind the photos add texture without overwhelming the page, while the florals bring those beautiful Life in Bloom colors together.
Of course, I had to add a little extra sparkle. ✨ I used the Shimmering Dots (167949) throughout the layout, and I love how the Granny Apple Green dots almost look like tiny dew drops among the flowers. π
The sentiments make this layout especially versatile, too:
πΏ Love Grows Here π Family & Friends ✨ I ♡ days like these
This is the second of THREE double-page layouts included in the Life in Bloom Scrapbooking Workshop Kit. The kit gives you the pieces and step-by-step instructions to recreate it . . . then you get to make it yours with your own photos and memories. π₯°
Which side of Layout #2 is your favorite . . . the “I ♡ days like these” side or the “Family & Friends” side? π¬
πΈ✨ I MADE THIS MYSELF MONDAY — LAYOUT #3. ✨πΈ
Simple joys. Treasure this. Together is the best place to be. π
This is exactly why I love scrapbook workshop kits. You get everything coordinated for you, but when it’s finished, you have beautiful pages just waiting for YOUR photos and YOUR stories.
πΈ✨ I MADE THIS MYSELF MONDAY — BONUS LAYOUT #4. ✨πΈ
Okayyyyy . . . THIS is the one I’ve been waiting to show you. π
The Life in Bloom Scrapbooking Workshop Kit (167862) includes three beautiful double-page layouts… but after finishing all three, I looked at everything I still had left and thought:
There is NO WAY I’m done with this kit yet. π✂️
So I challenged myself to create an entirely different BONUS double-page layout using the leftovers.
And look how much I was able to squeeze out of them. π
Instead of larger traditional photo groupings, I went with a fun grid-style design filled with 3" x 3" spaces. Some are ready for photos, while others became little pops of patterned paper, color, flowers and embellishments. πΈπΈ
And because I was working with leftovers, I had to get a little creative. That might be my FAVORITE part. π
I mixed those little scraps of DSP throughout the grid, used remaining flowers and leaves to create small clusters, and even gave that gorgeous lily-of-the-valley piece a starring role instead of letting it sit unused in the package. π
There are so many little details tucked into this one:
Three layouts in the kit + one more from the leftovers = FOUR double-page layouts. π
Now THAT is getting every last bit of crafty goodness out of a workshop kit. ππΈ
Which one is your favorite . . . #1, #2, #3 or my BONUS #4? π
I hope seeing these finished Life in Bloom scrapbook layouts gives you a little inspiration to pull out your own photos, paper, and embellishments and start documenting some of the everyday moments that matter to you. πΈπΈ Your scrapbook pages don’t have to be complicated to be meaningful, and you certainly don’t have to design everything from scratch. Sometimes having a coordinated workshop kit and a beautiful starting point is exactly what we need to get creating again.
If the Life in Bloom Scrapbooking Workshop Kit (167862) has caught your eye, remember that Stampin’ Up! Scrapbooking Workshop Kits are available while supplies last.
And if you’d like to see these pages more closely, be sure to watch my I Made This Myself Monday video. I’ll walk you through all four completed double-page layouts so you can see the details that don’t always show up in photographs.
Most importantly, I hope you leave inspired to create, share, and preserve your own stories. π Whether you follow a workshop exactly or make it completely your own, those finished pages become so much more than pretty paper . . . they become a home for your memories.

If you love a good paper crafting deal . . . or you’ve had a favorite Stampin’ Up! product sitting on your wish list . . . this is one update you’ll want to check out. π✂️
Stampin’ Up! has added more products and updated discounts in the Last Chance Products category.
Last Chance Products are retiring Stampin’ Up! products that are on their way out to make room for new, fresh paper crafting products. And the biggest thing to remember?
They are available ONLY WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. π
Once a Last Chance Product sells out, it’s gone and will be removed from the online store.
The Stampin’ Up! Last Chance Products category is an ongoing collection of retiring products from Stampin’ Up! catalogs and Online Exclusives.
You may find:
✨ Stamp sets ✂️ Dies & punches πΈ Designer Series Paper π Ribbon & embellishments π¨ Paper crafting accessories π Scrapbooking products π Card making supplies . . . and more.
Some Last Chance Products may be discounted, while others may remain at their regular price. Discounts can vary and may change depending on inventory.
That means if you see something you love . . . especially at a great price . . . I wouldn’t wait too long to grab it.
πΈ Why Does Stampin’ Up! Have Last Chance Products?
Stampin’ Up! regularly evaluates its product offering so it can continue bringing us new, trendy and exciting card making, scrapbooking and paper crafting supplies.
As products begin the retiring process, they may be moved into the Last Chance Products category.
This is great news for bargain hunters because it gives you another opportunity to grab products you may have missed before they disappear for good.
π When Is the Last Chance Products Category Updated?
Stampin’ Up! updates the Last Chance Products category every other month:
February • April • June • August • October • December
During these updates, additional retiring products may be added and discounts on existing Last Chance items may change.
And remember: a Last Chance item does NOT have to be discounted. Products are placed in this category because they are retiring, not necessarily because they are on sale.
⚠️ Don’t Wait on Your Favorites.
Unlike a traditional sale with a set ending date, Last Chance Products can disappear at any time.
When the remaining inventory of a product sells out, that product is discontinued and will no longer be available to order.
So my advice is always the same:
π If you absolutely LOVE it, don’t leave it sitting in your cart. π
Popular Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper, dies, embellishments and other crafting favorites can go quickly once customers realize they’re retiring.
Head over to my Stampin’ Up! online store and take a peek through the current Last Chance Products. Inventory and pricing can change, so the online store will always be the best place to see what is currently available.
And remember . . . you’re always welcome to reach out to me if you have questions about a product, need help coordinating colors and supplies, or want ideas for putting those new goodies to use. π
Happy shopping & happy crafting.
