Scrapbooking layout ideas

Ok, last of the layouts that I did on Hawaii to show you.  I made these layouts after spending too much money at Michaels.  I was so inspired by all the new loot I had gotten that I went crazy!  Beautiful summer colors, bling, and new supplies are so much fun!  A lot of these materials are from Recollections, Martha Stewart and Prima.








Happy Scrapbooking!

I have been so busy over the past few months scrapbooking and making cards that I haven`t had much time to do many blogs.  I still have several layouts that I made to show you.  After that, in the coming weeks, I will be showing you some cards that I made, some Christmas cards too (for sale!), and a blog on Art Mail (so cool!).

These are some layouts that I made a while back, but maybe they can give you some ideas on clustering embellishments.  I tried different layouts and different clusters to see what would be nice.  At the time, I really liked these layouts, but my style has evolved quite a bit since.

All materials used in these layouts are from Creative Memories.
Happy scrapbooking!

Scrapbook layouts: title pages

Title pages are a fun way to present the content that follows in your scrapbooks.  Because I had visited three islands in Hawaii, I made three title pages.  I have already showcased two of these layouts previously, but I wanted to talk about title pages today.

Idea: Use a fun chipboard die cut or sticker as the focal point of your title page. 
Idea: Use fun stamps.  Here I used travel themed stamps.
Idea: use glitter letters to attract attention to your title.

Idea: All out of letter? Handwrite your title by hand or using a stencil.
Idea: Raid your scrap stash for small pieces of scraps to write on.  It gives a cheery and happy feel to the layout.
Idea: Use that ribbon that you don`t know what to do with.  With all the colors, something is bound to match.

Idea: Put a picture that you fell represents the title or section to come.
Idea: Missing a letter? Add one that doesn't match, it looks fun and it looks like it’s on purpose!

New layouts to share with you.  These where made a while back.  I was trying out new products that I had just purchased.

Idea: Add some matching bling to your layout.  Bling is always fun to look at!

Idea: Put a flower and a brad on top of ribbon.  I used colors that match the ribbon flowers.  It adds a little unexpected touch.

Idea: Experiment with stamping.  Although I didn’t achieve the look I was going for, I still enjoyed playing with these new stamps that I had purchased for a dollar each!  You can use stamps to frame a picture or frame the page.

New summer layout ideas.

If you have three pictures that you would like to put into the same layout, this is a fantastic way to arrange them.  Put your favourite one in the middle.  Make sure that the ones you put on the side don`t cut off anything important.  Notice how I chose to use pictures where I was in the inner corner.

Paper piercings are fun to make and cheap too!  I made this summer out two different coloured papers.  Also had these fun sandal stickers, so I made them into a footprint border.

This is a pretty busy layout.  It looks a bit crooked, but that only because my picture-taking skills need some work.  The layout is actually very straight and proportionate.  I had left over strips of yellow paper, so I made them into a background for the `happy`sticker.

This last layout is also busy.  I used three photo corners to create an accent in the upper right corner. I also did this on another layout in a previous blog, but with smaller corners and more of them.  I also clustered some flowers.  Finally, I made a mistake when spelling `Hanauma Bay`, so I re-wrote it on blue cardstock and put it over the mistake.  Great way for covering up mistakes, and it looks like I did it on purpose!

Scrapbooking Layouts and Ideas

Today I have some simple ideas that can be created using white backgrounds.  The theme is beach, pool or summer pictures.  Check out my favourite sun-soaked summer layouts.

Cut out circles with your scissors or circle cutting tool to create a sunny look around your picture.  I used warm colors because it`s a summer picture.  I also did some journaling around the circles for a fun touch.

I found these amazing chipboard stickers that I really wanted to use on pictures of the guys swimming around.  I kept it simple to make sure that chipboard stickers could get noticed too.

I made this layout completely out of scrap leftover papers from previous layouts.  Added a few flowers, some chipboard stickers and bling that matches the color of the sky.

Very simple layout.  Half of the layout is pictures (4x6) and the other half has a title, some flowers and a little bit of journaling.

Scrapbook Layouts

These scrapbook pages where mostly created using the Creative Memories Zoo paper and stickers.  I really like this collection.  I find that the papers have nice colors and are well suited for scrapbooking a day at the zoo.

This page is clean and simple.  I opted to highlight only one picture that I really liked.  The scalloped paper is hand cut, it gives it more of a child's feel to the page.  The Bling is a nice side accent.

Here I found a way to display three monkey pictures without overwhelming the page.  I repeated the paper layers to create a sort of consistency between the pictures.

I love this layout.  Still very simple, I used a tag to mention that it`s a Rhino.  I hand cut the scalloped half photo mat.  Using buttons for paper flowers that don`t have a center creates a nice finishing touch.

Very simple, I layered 4 paper strips together to create an accent on the left side of the picture.

I didn't have much left, but wanted to keep with the theme, so I used the leftover paper and stickers.  I added a simple ribbon to the left, some flowers on the upper right corner of the picture and wrote with an acid free felt `the end`.

Here are some more scrapbooking layouts for your inspiration!
Make a page dedicated to your title. This is also a great opportunity to use those old scraps of paper you don`t know what to do with.  I used a stencil and some acid free felts to write the title.  I added a die cut and a sticker with a strip of ribbon to polish off the look.

Have photo corners but don`t know what to do with them?  Create interesting designs, such as I did on the left.  They add a bit of flair.

Cut strips out of your favourite leftover scraps and layer them all over the page.

Don`t be afraid to hand write your journaling, the personal touch will be appreciated by you kids in the future.

Play up a picture that`s out of focus by highlighting the main feature.  Here, dancers dancing with fire are just too fast for my camera.  It still made an amazing picture to scrapbook.

Happy scrapping!
