Easy 5-Step Recipe To Create Scrapbook Layout

Step 1:

Start with 3 patterned papers. Measure out 1/3 of each paper to use on your layout.

Step 2:

Add 1 Tbsp. all-purpose title, using letter stickers or a die-cut title.

Step 3:

Find 1 perfect photo and combine with the layout, stirring till smooth.

Step 4:

Create 1 baker's dozen journaling strips, blocks, or tags. Spread liberally over surface of layout.

Step 5:

Sprinkle on 3 clusters of embellishments, such as dashes of buttons or pinches of brads.

Here's what my layout looks like using patters from crate paper, jillibean soup, and Studio Calico. Letter stickers from Studio Calico. brads: Hot Off the Press, and printables found on Pinterest by Cathie Holden. The edges of the cardstock are distressed using a rough edge of a Plaid ruler. Everything is inked with Tsukineko. The plastic flowers are added with brads.
