Scrapbook Layouts

TIP: Many scrappers like to really load their layouts with lots of different embellishments and papers. Whilst this can be very attractive you often lose sight of the most important aspect of the layout - Showcase your picture so that the eye is always drawn to that first.

All layouts on this page is 12" x 12"

Journalling

Sometimes a pictures says a thousand words, at other times you may want to describe what the picture is all about for later recollection and future generations. Here are some of the options:

  • Add hidden jounalling behind another element on the page, the most used is probably a little pocket behind the picture or a little flap that lifts up o the page.
  • There are several jounalling stamps on the market. In the layout to the left for example I have used a LIl' Davis Clear Journaling stamp.
  • Draw lines and add your journalling for all to see. In the layout above I have used a doodling template to draw the lines then added the journalling.
  • Write around elements on the page. This is used in several of the layouts above.

What a Wonderful World

Size: 12" x 12"

  • Draw small and larger circles down the edge of a sheet of Basic Grey  Blitzen "Pear" as shown, using a green Sakura Gelly Roll Glaze pen.
  • Tear a strip of Basic Grey Blush "Be Mine" and ink the edges with Tim Holtz "Shabby Shutters", I used a brush. Glue the strip to the paper  as shown. You can cut out the middle of the strip to avoid a bumpy look under the picture.
  • Position the picture where you want it and edge with Doodlebug Rick Rack ribbon. Leave one side unglued so that you can include hidden journaling if you wish. Slip a K&Co Words & Saying die-cut under the edge - this one shows the definition of joy.
  • Add the title as shown using various alphabets (Basic Grey Monograms, K&Co alphabets, plus "Wonderful" cut out using QuicKutz "Vixen" letters)
