My first layout for my 2025 album and with this year I am getting back into the 12" x 12" size for my layouts. I had recently been introduced to Book Nooks - a fun craft kit that makes a scene inside a book for your book shelves. I bought 1 kit and enjoyed putting it together - this could definitely become an obsession easily! I pulled out the February Paper Pumpkin kit for this and used the card elements to create this layout.
The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch from Laura Whitaker I found on Pinterest.
I used the card bases from the kit for the patterned paper in the sketch. For the longer strips I overlapped 2 smaller strips together - luckily the patterns lent themselves to this. I pulled a journal card from my stash and stamped the title using a set from my stash. I used a circle template an Early Espresso Stampin' Write Market to create the faux stitched circles. The embellishments also came from the Paper Pumpkin kit.

The final layout from our weekend in New York City is this 2-page spread. After working on the other pages I realized I had a few random photos I wanted to include so decided to pull them together into 1 layout. This layout worked well in using up almost all of my remaining Season of Green and Gold DSP.
The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch from Page Maps I found on Pinterest.
The sketch was converted from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11" and I modified the photo sizes and number to work with the new layout size. I added a photo mat under each block of photos to add some visual interest. On the right-hand page I changed the photos to be 3 rows instead of 2 since I used smaller photos for this. It worked well to help me get extra photos onto the layout - actually got a total of 12! The title is a combination of die cut letters and small letter stickers. The leafs and branches were die cut from the Season of Green and Gold DSP and I added some Gold gems to finish off the layout.

Of course, when in New York City a "must do" is to see a Broadway show. This time Meghan and I chose "Chicago". We both had always wanted to see this on stage. Having seen the movie I was not sure what to expect when on stage. Loved this! The staging of this musical was fantastic and we had such a wonderful time. Used up some more of the Season of Green and Gold suite for this layout.
The inspiration for this layout came from this sketch from Stuck Sketches I found on Pinterest. You can see this sketch along with others here.
The sketch was converted from 12" x 12" to 8 1/2" x 11" and I modified the photo sizes and number to work with the new layout size. The leaves and branches are die cut from the Season of Green and Gold DSP paper using the Golden Greenery Dies. The title is a combination of die cut letters and small letter stickers from my stash. The faux-stitched circle wads done using a circle template and white gel pen. I added some Gold gems to finish off the layout.

As usual, when Meghan and I go into New York City we try to go to at least one art museum. This year we went to the Guggenheim Museum. It is such an iconic place and we had a blast checking out the various artwork there. I am still using up what I have in my stash from the Season of Green and Gold Suite from Stampin' Up for the layouts from this trip. Currently stretching the scraps for the last few layouts.

Another fun place we went while in NYC is the Top of Rockefeller Center. Neither Meghan nor I had ever been there before so it was pretty cool to see. There was a lot to take in there but the views were spectacular! I used up some more of the Season of Green and Gold DSP I had in my stash to create this layout. Love how a themed paper collection can be used for many other occasions!

The faux-stitching was added using a white gel pan. The title was die cut using an alphabet die set from my stash. I added some Gold dots to embellish the layout.
