Hi Ladies! It's Flóra here. Today I want to share with how I create my scrapbook layouts. I follow 5 Easy Steps each time and they always work. I will guide you through these useful steps through my recent 12x12 scrapbook page I have created with Maggie Holmes Heritage collection. Let's start!
- Pick a photo and matching colors
The easiest way to start a scrapbook layout if first select a photo. Check out what are the three main colors of your photo, this will be your color palette. Pick a neutral patterned paper that matches your photo and gather all the embellishments that fit your color palette.
- Layer, Layer, Layer
If you make a classic scrapbook page you may start with layering bigger paper pieces like Ephemera die cuts, envelopes and patterned paper scraps. Separate layers with foam stickers reach 3D look.
- Decorate with various embellishments
Once, your layers are done add different type of embellishments and stickers. Use cardstock, chipboard, and puffy stickers. You can also add enamel dots, charms, paper flower. The more texture the better. Repeat the patterns just as I did with the clear black branches and enamel dots.
- Add your title and date
Create a title that resonates with the theme of the photo using Phrase Thickers or Alpha Thickers. You can even mix them to create an eclectic look. It's important to stamp or handwrite the date of the photo. It will be useful in the future when you want to sort into scrapbook album.
- Write your story, add journaling
There are many way to add journaling. You can simply write by hand or write it with a typewriter. If you don't have any special to say you can use a quote or a song lyrics.
Isn't that easy? I hope my 5 steps will help you to create your next scrapbook layout! Thanks for stopping by! Flóra
