LAKESIDE RETREAT April Paper Pumpkin - Scrapbook Layout

Join me as I turn my Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin Kit into a scrapbook layout! I go live on YouTube every second Sunday of each month for my Paper Pumpkin scrapbook layout.

This peaceful two-page scrapbook layout, created with the Stampin’ Up! Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin kit, captures the relaxing charm of a quiet getaway by the water. Soft watercolor backgrounds featuring lakeside scenes, wooden docks, and sandy shorelines create a calm and scenic foundation for the design. Coordinating plaid, woodgrain, striped, and wave-patterned papers add texture and a cozy rustic feel throughout the spread. Rich navy and deep green photo mats provide contrast against the soft blues and neutrals while offering space for treasured vacation or outdoor memories. Thoughtful embellishments, including a bicycle on the beach, paddles beside a lakeside cabin, cattails, birds in flight, and fishing-inspired accents, enhance the outdoorsy theme and bring the pages to life. Finished with layered journaling elements and subtle twine details, this layout is perfect for documenting lake trips, camping adventures, fishing weekends, or peaceful moments spent enjoying nature.
