The Good Life Scrapbook Layout

October 12, 2025 2 Comments

Welcome to The Good Life, where naps are an art form and texture steals the show! Designer Desiree Saskiw captured her pampered feline’s best “I run this house” poses in a warm, layered layout that’s equal parts cozy and cool. Desiree reached for her Ranger Distress Grit Paste – Crypt and the Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Honeycomb Stencil to create that perfectly imperfect background texture. The subtle raised hexagons add just enough grunge to balance out the soft, snuggly photos — proving that even the fluffiest cat deserves a little edge. The layout’s fiery oranges and vintage neutrals come together with Simple Stories and DCWV patterned papers, plus a sprinkle of Tim Holtz Idea-ology stickers and dimension from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
