Grow As We Go | A Sweet Double Page Layout for Twin Girl Memories

I recently created this 12 x 12 double page scrapbook layout using the March 2025 Kiwi Lane Club Kit featuring the beautiful Grow As We Go paper pack, and I already know it’s going to be the perfect home for photos of my twin girls. 💕

This layout has room for (1) 5 x 7 photo, (3) 4 x 6 photos, and (3) 4 x 4 photos, making it a great choice for capturing a collection of special moments all in one spread. I love how the design gives me plenty of space for photos while still leaving room for pretty patterned paper and a few simple embellishing details.

The Grow As You Go papers bring such a sweet and gentle feel to this layout. The soft florals, subtle patterns, and warm colors make it perfect for documenting family memories, childhood moments, and everyday snapshots you never want to forget.

To keep the layout balanced, I added a few simple circular elements across the pages. These little accents add just the right amount of softness and visual movement without taking away from the photos. I also included a beautiful sentiment piece that says, “Perhaps you were created for such a time as this.” That message feels especially fitting for a layout centered around my girls and the joy they bring to our family.

One of my favorite things about this double page spread is how it combines structure and sweetness. The mix of photo sizes creates interest, while the clean arrangement keeps the focus on the memories themselves. I can already picture this layout filled with photos of my twin girls, whether it’s everyday smiles, a special outing, or one of those little moments that I never want to forget.

This layout is a reminder that scrapbook pages don’t need to be overly complicated to be beautiful and meaningful. Sometimes all it takes is a lovely paper collection, a thoughtful sentiment, and a design that gives your photos room to shine.

If you’re working with the March 2025 Kiwi Lane Club Kit, I hope this page gives you inspiration to create a layout for the people and moments you treasure most.

Happy crafting!

A Soft & Simple Double Page Family Layout with the March 2025 Kiwi Lane Club Kit

There’s something so special about a layout that feels both soft and meaningful, and this 12 x 12 double page spread came together with exactly that kind of heart. For this layout, I used the Kiwi Lane Club Kit from March 2025 to create a design that highlights treasured family memories while keeping the overall look simple, layered, and photo-friendly.

This layout includes space for (1) 5 x 7 photo, (2) 6 x 4 photos, and (1) 4 x 4 photo, making it a great option for documenting a family outing, a day at the park, a spring memory, or any moment you want to preserve with a warm and cozy feel.

One of my favorite things about this design is the way the horizontal bands of patterned paper help guide your eye across both pages while still giving each photo its own moment to shine. The floral paper adds a soft, cheerful touch, while the green and peach tones create a gentle, grounded color palette that feels fresh and inviting.

I also added a few simple circular elements to bring in movement and interest without overwhelming the page. Those circles help soften the straight lines of the photo mats and add a playful little detail that ties the whole spread together. On the left page, I included a small journaling circle, which is the perfect spot for a date, a short memory, or a little note about the photos. On the right page, the sentiment circle adds a sweet finishing touch and helps reinforce the family-centered feel of the layout.

This page design would work beautifully for:
• family photos
• outdoor spring memories
• a family picnic or garden visit
• everyday moments with the people you love
• multi-photo storytelling from one special day

Because the photo arrangement is clean and balanced, it’s easy to customize with your own embellishments, titles, or journaling while still letting your pictures remain the focus.

I love how this layout feels gentle, connected, and full of heart. It’s a wonderful reminder that scrapbook pages don’t have to be complicated to be beautiful. Sometimes a few patterned strips, a handful of circles, and thoughtfully placed photos are all you need to tell a story in a meaningful way.

If you’re working with your Kiwi Lane Club Kit, I hope this layout inspires you to create a double-page spread of your own. Pull out your favorite family photos, add a few layered details, and let those memories shine.

What kind of photos would you use with this layout, family, spring, everyday moments, or something else?

Happy Scrapping!

Christmas Two-page Layout

As always I am stll working towards completing Christmas layouts from over the years. Because I scrapbook out of order, I am sometimes literally scrapbooking photos from 2018 and 2024 easily in the same day. Here is one of those cases for sure. I created this Christmas layout for photos from 2022 on the same day I created layouts for snow pictures from 2019 and Valentine's layouts for 2025. But scrapbooking out of order keeps it fun for me. I used the following supplies for this two-page layout:

ADDITIONAL ITEMS: Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink from Tim Holtz

Some Dedicated Time...

I finally made sure that I carved out some time for scrapbooking this weekend. Things have been pretty busy between work and home. I didn't make any plans this weekend, so that I could work on some reorganizing in the house and some scrapbooking. So far I have completed five layouts today, which is pretty good for me. I will share them all over the next couple of day, but here is the first. 

I will use this two page layout for some snow pictures from mainland Japan in 2019. This two page layout will hold (5) 4 × 6 photos.I used the following supplies:

PAPERS: Kiwi Club Kit January 2025

TEMPLATES: Frostbite 3

Tropical Vibe Layout

So we are finally going on our first cruise next summer, so I am getting a head start on layouts. Our Disney cruise will include both Nassau and Castaway Cay. So I am trying to create a mix of blatantly tropical layouts and Disney themed.

All of the patterned papers used came from the July 2018 Kiwi Club Kit. The colors coordinated perfectly. I can't wait to use this layout later to showcase our trip. Kiwi Lane templates are so easy to use and are generally very versatile.
