Hey everyone! This is Niki (@nikiclairecreates) here today and I'm excited to share two new layouts using the Say Cheese Classic Pooh collection—it's absolutely adorable! For my first layout, I created a double-page layout since I had plenty of photos and wanted to showcase two coordinating papers from the collection that work perfectly together as a background.
We’re so lucky to have the 100 Aker Wood just 10 minutes from our house! It’s part of a farm we visit often, and they’ve transformed the woodland into a magical space with a charming trail, storybook models, and character houses along the way. We used to go there all the time, and these photos are from a visit a few years ago. I printed them in a slightly smaller-than-standard size, around 5”x3.75”, since I like printing with borders, which naturally reduces the dimensions a bit.
To make working on the double layout easier, I taped the two background pages together on the back. Then, I mounted my photos, placed one inside a Chipboard Frame, and arranged them on the background.
Next, I had so much fun assembling one of the cutest little metal die sets I’ve ever seen! I chose Color Vibe cardstock in shades that complement the Classic Pooh collection and ran them through my Big Shot. After cutting all the pieces, I put together the honey pot and the bee. One detail I absolutely love is the honey pot label—it not only cuts out the outline but also has an embossing plate that imprints the word "hunny": such a clever touch! I tucked these adorable embellishments under one of my photos for extra dimension.
Since I wanted to layer my photos within the printed clusters on the background paper, I carefully cut around the designs with a craft knife. This allowed me to slip the corners of the photos and extra elements, like Journal Bits, Bits & Pieces, and Floral Bits, behind them for a more interactive look.
To finish the layout, I added more embellishments, including additional Floral Bits and Bits & Pieces. I placed a Foam Sticker title on the right page, then added Decorative Brads and Enamel Dots for extra texture. I handwrote my journaling beneath the title and completed everything with a few phrase stickers from the Cardstock Stickers and some splatters of white paint for a finishing touch.
I loved working on this double layout; I always enjoy creating double spreads, even though I don’t create them as often as I’d like. The Classic Pooh collection is an absolute joy to work with, and I couldn’t be happier with how this turned out!

For my second layout, I knew I had to use that gorgeous book-page paper; it was the perfect match for the book-page in my photo! I started by cutting up all the pages, distressing the edges for a worn, textured look, and then carefully placing them back onto another background paper. To add extra detail, I tucked in a few tabs and border strips from the Journal Bits between the pages.
I mounted my photo on a coordinating paper and layered it onto the layout. To frame it even more, I used two tags from the Tags paper, threading them with ribbon before tucking them behind the photo for added dimension.
Next, I embellished the layout with plenty of pretty Floral Bits and a large Winnie-the-Pooh character from the Page Pieces. For the title, I chose a Foam Sticker and placed it vertically alongside my photo for a balanced look.
To bring the design together, I created a second cluster on the right side, featuring Eeyore, more Floral Bits, and a chipboard honey pot from the Decorative Brads. I finished off the layout with additional Decorative Brads, Enamel Dots, and some hand-written journaling beneath my photo. As a final touch, I splattered some white paint over the clusters.
I absolutely love how this layout came together—the background complements my photo perfectly, and working with the Classic Pooh collection has been so much fun. It’s just so adorable! Thanks so much for joining me today and happy scrapping!
