A Wildly Flowering Scrapbook Layout

This Wildly Flowering Scrapbook Layout bloomed from a tender idea: scrapbooking a funeral. I know, not the typical “woohoo, pass the glitter!” kind of topic—but hear me out. Life is full of beautiful, bittersweet moments, and as memory keepers, we don’t shy away from the real stuff. This layout is soft, peaceful, and heartfelt—perfect for honoring someone special. But here’s the twist: with just a few tweaks, this same design could celebrate a wedding, an engagement, or even your unapologetic obsession with pretty flowers. It’s basically the little black dress of scrapbook layouts—classy, adaptable, and always in season.

Sweet Start Sketch 15 - Wildly Flowering Layout

To whip this layout up, I pulled out Stampin’ Up!’s Wildly Flowering papers—because hello, floral perfection—and added just a few pretties from the Fully Flowering Mix & Match Ephemera Pack to give it that “fresh from the garden, but still chic” vibe. I even did a little title stamping (I know, who is she?) to make things extra personal. It’s clean, it’s elegant, and it comes together faster than your favorite comfort casserole on a busy weeknight. This one’s a keeper for all your tender tales.

REMEMBER: Even the hardest stories deserve a beautiful page. Scrapbooking isn’t just for birthdays and vacations—it’s for the quiet, sacred moments too. I’m here to help you tell them with heart, grace, and just the right amount of pretty paper.

So whether you’re scrapbooking a celebration, a goodbye, or just your wild love for all things floral, this week’s sketch is here to guide your heart and hands. Don’t be afraid to make it your own—swap out the colors, flip the sketch, or throw in an extra flower (or five). Just remember: your stories matter, and there’s no “wrong” way to tell them.

Until next time, keep those scissors sharp, your stories real, and your layouts wildly you.
