Monday Mini's - "The Sweetest Thing"

by Julie Hyde on June 07, 2025

This sweet 6x6 mini layout is a soft and charming tribute to my daughter Aimee. Full of delicate layers and pastel prettiness. I used a  lovely mix of smooth cardstock, soft patterned papers, crinkled ribbon, lace tucked behind sweet dimensional embellishments—all working together to make the layout feel very pretty and feminine. 

 

Photo Focus:

  • The central feature is an adorable photo of a toddler outdoors, dressed in a classic blue dress and white sun hat—full of vintage charm!

  • The photo is matted on several layered papers, giving it dimension and framing it beautifully.

Color Palette:

  • Soft purples, mint green, pale yellow, blush pink, and white give this layout a dreamy, almost storybook feel.

  • The patterned papers include delicate floral prints, subtle script, and soft watercolor-style washes.

Embellishments:

  • Dimensional Flowers: Small paper and fabric flowers with pearl centers add texture and softness. One pale pink embroidered flower near the bottom corner stands out beautifully.

  • Ribbon Detail: A crinkled peach ribbon is tucked under the journaling tags—adding a sweet, flowing element


📝 Journaling Touches:

Several small typed word tags are underneath the photo. Two die cut ephemera pieces, including the words 'perfect' and 'the sweetest thing' Also, some larger, American Craft Thicker letters - the word 'hi'

  • “PERFECT” in bold letters is placed vertically beside the photo.

  • A large die-cut banner reads “the sweetest thing,” stretching along the right edge.

Life gets busy—like really busy. Between family, work, and all the other things we juggle, sometimes it feels like there’s no time to squeeze in a creative moment. That’s exactly why I started Monday Minis—my little way of carving out some “me-time” in the middle of the everyday chaos.

This is definitely one of those gotta capture the photo...moments, taken with a film camera over 30 years ago. Once upon a time, long ago, I worked for a photographer and of course he/we developed all the photos in a real darkroom. I was very luck I guess to get free film and the opportunity to develop my own photographs
