Free Weekly Kit by Featured Designer: ScrapChat Designs

 

Let’s welcome ScrapChat Designs as this week’s Featured Designer!

Q&A With The Designer: ScrapChat Designs


What first got you into scrapbooking or memory keeping?


Documenting high school. My very first scrapbook even included decorations from the flowers I got when I had my tonsils out freshman year. Apparently, I was committed to documenting everything early on. 😄

Are you more creative in the morning or late at night?


Late night, for sure! I can get on a roll and suddenly realize it’s 1 a.m.

What’s something you’re currently working on improving in your scrapbooking?


Journaling and documentation. I often tell myself I’ll look up dates or add details later… and then I don’t. Looking back, I really wish some of my older layouts had more of the story written down.

Are you more of a coffee or tea person?


Coffee, all day, any time, at home. But if I’m out somewhere fancy, I’m ordering a chai tea.

What’s something on your bucket list that you’ve checked off?


Climbing Xunantunich, an ancient Maya ruin, in 2019. It was exciting on the way up and absolutely terrifying on the way back down. The Maya clearly did not design with handrails in mind. 😅


To finish off we would love to share some of her favorite layouts:

Layout from Sleigh What

Layout from This Wild Life

Layout from Saturday Night In

Layout from Under Winter Skies

PaintChips: Ocean Green by Connie Prince (Designer Tip February 2026)

 

         

Paint Chips: Ocean Green

Paint Chips: Ocean Green is a soothing, beach-inspired scrapbook kit designed to capture the quiet beauty of the sea. This nautical collection features charming themed elements like a beach bag, anchor, coral, seashells, and starfish—perfect for documenting seaside adventures, coastal memories, and everyday moments with an ocean feel.

Layer your pages with an abundance of coordinating fillers, including soft florals, flowing greenery, ribbons, and versatile ephemera pieces that add depth and texture without overpowering your designs. The monochromatic palette of ocean greens and teals creates a cohesive, calming look that’s easy to mix, match, and layer.

Whether you’re preserving beach vacations, summer stories, or simply love a coastal aesthetic, Paint Chips: Ocean Green brings a fresh, tranquil touch to your scrapbook pages.



 


 



 
















Wishing you the very best!
Connie

DYL: Love Letters Collection by Diane, ADB Designs

The Love Letters Collection by ADB Designs was designed with Valentine's Day and romance in mind, though it's perfectly suitable for other occasions and uses.
 
The colors are traditional: cherry, peppermint and pale pinks, along with touches of pale blue, olive and grass green as well as brown. The elements are traditional as well: loads of flowers and foliage, as well as buttons, ribbons and lace, some hardware, paperstrips, cards and envelopes, frames, and wordart
 
#227 Question/Scrapbooking Prompt(s)
  • Create a page about romance.
  • Create a page around a romantic event in the life of an ancestor.
These prompts are ideas to help you get started. I also have a gift for you to help speed your page completion. With this stunning gift (contributed by my amazing Creative Team Member: Pia) you can finish a page quickly.
