Something Old, Something New: A Walk Down Memory Lane

In honor of Something Old, Something New (SOSN) Wednesday, I thought it would be fun to take a trip down memory lane and giggle at admire some old layouts by the talented TLP Pollys. And just to show you that “old” doesn’t mean “out of style,” I found some new layouts using some of the same products. I love seeing how styles and trends have changed over the years. I hope you enjoy this collection of both “vintage” and new inspiration! (And keep an eye out – some of the product used is on sale today only for 50% off!)

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
