Hello everyone, this is Janna. I am here with my last project as a Design Team member of the fabulous Studio Forty team. It has been such a great and fun experience, working alongside the talented ladies and crafting with the wonderful supplies from Studio Forty. Thank you so much for joining me on this adventure.

If you are interested in being a member of the Studio Forty Design Team, now is your chance! Check out the DT Call and make sure to apply asap!

The last project I am sharing with you on this blog is a fun scrapbooking layout I created with photos of my daughter. She loves to play hide and seek - whenever, wherever.

Crafty friends, thanks again for joining me today, let's keep in touch via Instagram and please check the other projects I created with the gorgeous Studio Forty supplies. 

Hello crafty friends, this is Janna Werner. I am here today with a new scrapbooking adventure (at least for me, it is!): I am starting a traveler's notebook to remember my dreams and goals in life. Before I share the spreads, I'd like to remind you to use the code janna10 in the Studio Forty shop - this will add a 10% discount to your order.

 

This page does not include any dreams and goals yet, but is a reminder to dream big and document life's journey. I have to admit that - although it took me so long to get started with a traveler's notebook - I am completely obsessed with this way of scrapbooking and memory keeping now.

Do you enjoy creating traveler's notebooks? Let me know in the comment section below or on Instagram and Youtube. I'd love to get in touch with you!

Hello crafty friends, this is Janna Werner. I am back with a new layout featuring the gorgeous Essentials Summer 2023 collection. If you didn't have the chance to check it out until now, make sure to watch my unboxing video from last month which you can find right here! Before I share the scrapbooking page, I'd like to remind you to use the code janna10 in the Studio Forty shop - this will add a 10% discount to your order.

So, today's layout is about documenting achievements or (job) adventures. Let me ask a question first: do you scrap about yourself, what you achieve or things your are good at? Do you take the time to celebrate yourself? If not, you should definitely do so! It is so much fun flipping through old pages, seeing what you have done in your life. 

 

Usually my layouts are about others - family, friends and pets. But I enjoy documenting my achievements like giving my first workshop or job adventures like the one I scrapped about in this layout!

 

After thinking about it for 2 years, I finally started a German scrapbooking podcast and I am excited, anxious, happy, scared and super enthusiastic at the same time. I am looking forward to this new adventure.

The Podcast is called 'Papiersalat auf die Ohren' which means something like 'paper salad for the ears'. Papiersalat is the name of my blog which I started 13 years ago. If you are interested in listening to me talking about the best hobby in the world, you can find the episodes on my blog.

Hello crafty friends, it's Janna. I am super excited about the new Essential Summer 2023 Collection and about sharing the first layout I made with this beautiful scrapbooking series! Before I share the scrapbooking page and an unboxing video, I'd like to remind you to use the code janna10 in the Studio 40 shop for a 10% discount! 

This is the page I came up with directly after filming the unboxing video. It was quite hard to decide on the materials to use as I would have loved to use them all at once!

Now, let's check out the new Essentials Summer 2023 collection in detail! In the following video, I share a quick unboxing of the new Studio Forty scrapbooking series. 

 

Here a few more detail shots of the scrapbooking layout.

 

Hello crafty friends, it's Janna. I love a good moodboard challenge and am happy to present a fabulous inspiration to you today. Before I share my thoughts on the scrapbooking layout below, I'd like to remind you to use the code janna10 in the Studio 40 shop for a 10% discount! Now, let's get started!

 

This is the moodboard that was given to the Design Team to create projects inspired by this collection. You have already seen lots of great layouts, ATCs and mini albums from the gorgeous ladies of the Studio Forty DT, now it is my turn to share how I used the moodboard as inspiration for my scrapbooking layout.

 The first thing I was drawn to, was the color combination, obviously. The next thing was the arrangement of the board and the placement of text. I decided to use all of these things in my project and this is how it turned out.

- copy the color combination 
- use the same amount of elements (I added three pictures, for example)
- add similar shapes and sizes 
- apply the entire arrangement of the moodboard onto the scrapbooking layout

 

How do you like the outcome? If you have any questions, just let me know in the comment section below. You can also find me on Instagram and Youtube.

 Please check out my other Studio 40 posts for more ideas and inspiration.

Have fun,
Janna

Hello crafty friends, it's Janna. I have a fun scrapbooking layout tutorial for you today. Before I share my thoughts on today's page, I'd like to remind you to use the code janna10 in the Studio 40 shop for a 10% discount! Now, let's take a look at the scrapbooking page first before diving into the tutorial. 

On the photo is a sign that stood in front of a little shop in Cuxhaven, Germany. It says: "Ich bin gerade etwas neben der Spur. Ist schön da." which means "I am a little off track, it's nice there." My initial thought was, to create an asymmetrical layout, but in the end I decided against it. Instead, I went for an organized, clean look, as this is how I feel sometimes: organized on the outside and chaotic on the inside. Do you know what I mean?!

Now, let me show you how I create the page.

 

I choose a neutral background from the Don't Grow Up collection and cut 2 cm from two sides of a white 12x12" cardstock.
With a circle cutter, I cut a circle (10 cm diameter) into the middle of the cardstock. Then I cut the cardstock in half and trim it to fit onto the patterned background paper.

With the Big Shot and an embossing folder I create a dimensional arrow pattern on the lower half of the cardstock pieces. The pattern fits the Studio Forty stamp I am using later perfectly.

The Essentials doublesided patterned papers are beautiful, but also the floral stickers. I use both to embellish the page. I adhere the stickers onto cardstock and cut them out with scissors. Like this, I can easily add dimensionals beneath the stickers. This will add more depth when applied to the layout.


As you can see on a previous photo, I use double sided adhesive to glue the white cardstock pieces onto the background and dimensionals to adhere the photo. In the next step, I am creating a little cluster on the bottom right, using a black marker to draw little dots onto the paper. I bend the leaves with my fingers for more depth.

I cut out hearts from the Essential mint and pink tabs and decorate the left side of the photo with leaves, flowers, enamel dots, hearts and die cuts.

Hello crafty friends, it's Janna. After last month's scrapbooking layout with round photos, I am back with a cluster page. Before I share my thoughts on today's layout, I'd like to remind you to use the code janna10 in the Studio 40 shop for a 10% discount! Now, let's take a look at the scrapbooking page.

Usually, I lay out the cluster design before glueing the items onto the page. The design of the clusters may change during the process of adhering everything. If you want the arrangement to be exactly the same as the draft you made, you might want to take a picture of the design before adhering.

There are many ways of designing a cluster, I decided to go for a blurred one: sometimes it's hard to tell if a page includes one, two, or more clusters as the different areas on the page correspond or maybe overlap. This is what I like to call the "blurred cluster" design. 

I did this with the bottom cluster on the left and right as well as with the mini cluster below the photo. Each is a seperate cluster, but as they are so close to each other, they become a blurred arrangement.
