Quick & Easy Memo Board Layout with Fresh Start | Kathleen Schmelz

Hey Pinkfresh Studio fans! It’s Kathleen here, and today I’m excited to share yet another layout created with my Fresh Start collection.

When we designed this collection, I was already imagining all the different ways the papers and embellishments could be used together. The gold chipboard memo board was one of those ideas we planned from the very beginning, and we intentionally included lots of elements in different sizes that could be layered onto it to create a beautiful focal point on a layout.

So when I finally received my collection, this was actually one of the first layouts I created with it! :)

Let's take a look at how you can recreate this layout:

1. Base: Use the B-side of the "Fresh Start" paper as your layout base.
   Optional: add machine stitching around the edge of the layout, approximately ½" from the border.
2. Memoboard: 
   1. Adhere the gold memo board chipboard sticker slightly above the center of the page.
   2. Fussy cut two frames from the "Day by Day" paper.
   3. Cut out the center of one frame & back it with your photo.
   4. Decorate the second frame with a floral ephemera piece and a phrase from the Rub-Ons.
   5. Arrange both frames on the memo board, securing one with a chipboard paper clip for a realistic layered look.
3. Finishing Touches:
   
   1. Enhance the memo board with additional embellishments, such as the small Polaroid chipboard stickers or the bulldog clips from the Puffy Stickers.
   2. Finish your layout with a title using a Chipboard Sticker or create a custom title with the Puffy Alpha Stickers.

Tip: Don't adhere all the elements completely. Instead, curl up some of the edges to add dimension and make the memo board look even more realistic.

I hope this project inspires you to give this idea a try! It's such a quick and easy layout to put together, and it's easy to customize by changing the number or size of the photos, adding real little notes to the memo board, or making it your own with other personal touches.
