DYL: Beautiful Morning Collection from Diane, ADB Designs

 

The bright, cheerful colors remind me of a beautiful new morning and The Rascals' hit song "It's a Beautiful Morning: (c.1968). The Beautiful Morning Collection shows that same happiness, romance and good cheer! Use this collection to scrap up nearly anything!

The colors are vibrant: grass green, canary yellow, fuchsia pink, cherry, peach, with accents of charcoal. The elements are all about happiness: birds, word strips, a banner, ribbons, buttons, tabs and tags, frames and loads of florals and foliage.

Q&A With The Designer: Designs by Lisa Minor I have been designing for over 25 years now and I'm still in love with the entire process! I've been married to my best friend for 39 years now and we have 4 grown children and 2 grandsons.  They are all (even during the rough seasons) my lifeline. What kid word do you still use? Doot-Doot!  Remember those scented boxes with scented baking soda used to sprinkle on your carpet? Our oldest was 2 and he called it Doot Doot.  So now anything in the house we use as a scent we call it that, lol! Did you like school growing up? Actually yes, I loved it. Math was always super hard for me, but I still loved my teachers.  I also loved school lunches. What is your go to comfort food? Chicken and Dumplings.  My mom was not a good cook, but she made Chicken and Dumplings with perfection and I still love it. Are you a morning person or a night owl? I used to be a night owl when our kids were little, but now I am a 5am girl! What do you value most in your life? That's easy, Faith and Family, 100% What is your biggest pet peeve?

Use It All – March 2026 by ScrapChat Designs

Use It All – March 2026

This month we’re working with the Fairy Tales Sampler — a whimsical mini filled with soft purples, fresh greens, playful mushrooms, sweet florals, and storybook-inspired patterns. It’s perfect for documenting magical moments, imaginative play, little adventures, and all those real-life stories that feel a bit fairytale-worthy.

The Use It All Challenge is exactly what it sounds like: create one layout and use every item from the Fairy Tales Sampler on that page. Papers, elements, labels, word bits — everything! The fun is figuring out how to layer, cluster, tuck, and sprinkle details so the whole sampler makes it onto your finished layout.

Tips to help you fit it all in

• Layer papers as strips, mats, or a patchwork background.
• Cluster in groups (mushrooms + florals + labels) and repeat smaller accents around the page.
• Tuck tiny pieces behind photos, frames, or journaling spots so nothing feels “stuck on.”
• Scatter the smallest elements like confetti to fill gaps and keep the page balanced.
