Chasing Whimsy: Small Escapes is digital scrapbooking collection by Kristin Cronin-Barrow and Studio Basic Designs and a gentle reminder that we don’t have to go far to find a little peace.

Part of our Chasing Whimsy series—our playful little escape into noticing the magic in everyday life—this collection turns inward, focusing on the quiet moments we create for ourselves. The pauses, the deep breaths, the simple routines that help us reset and reconnect.

Small Escapes is about the in-between spaces: a warm drink, a favorite song, a slow morning, a few minutes of stillness in an otherwise busy day. With soft textures, layered papers, delicate florals, and cozy details, this collection invites you to document the places—physical or emotional—where you go to feel like yourself again.

Because sometimes, a little escape is all we need.

Inside you’ll find:
22 patterned papers (plus 18 alternates), saved as .jpg files
14 solid papers, saved as .jpg files
150+ assorted elements (some alternates included), saved as .png files
2 full alphas (A–Z, 0–9 & symbols), in individual .png files
30+ mixed media elements, saved as .png files
6 journal cards (3x4), saved as .jpg and print-ready .pdf files

Find your quiet. Keep it.
