Creating handmade tags are a great way to dress up both your birthday girl stickers and your scrapbooking page. In this double-page layout we look at how to effectively combine using stickers directly on your page with dressing up your stickers with tags.

Materials Used: Paper Garden Watermelon Plaid paper, Beary Patch Grapebeary Dot paper, green cardstock, white cardstock, pastel eyelash ribbon and Doodlebug Birthday Girl stickers.

To recreate this scrapbooking idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the Paper Garden Watermelon Plaid paper as your background for both pages

2. Place your border sticker down the left side of your left-hand page

3. Mat a horizontal 4×6 photo with white cardstock. This should be your primary photo. Mat again with Grapebeary Dot paper. Leave a little extra room under the photo as this is where your title will eventually go. Glue to your left page so that it is centred horizontally and is positioned towards the top edge of your page

3. Mat a second horizontal with green cardstock. Glue it towards the bottom right corner of your left page, making sure you leave plenty of room to add a birthday cake sticker later.

4. Cut another piece of Grapebeary Dot paper and glue towards the top right corner of your page, as shown in the layout above.

This will add structure to your layout and draw the different elements together. It also creates a nice balance with the purple dot mat on the left page.

5. Mat your remaining photos (one vertical, one horizontal) with green cardstock and position on your right page as shown above.

6. Cut out a journaling box from white cardstock. Add your journaling and glue on your right page below your vertical photo.

7. Before you begin decorating your layout with birthday girl stickers, construct two tags. For each tag, cut a tag shape out of green cardstock. Cut a smaller version from purple dot paper and tear it into two pieces. Glue the two pieces to your green tag so that there is a thin strip between them. Place your birthday sticker on top. Finally, punch a hole in the top of the tag and thread your eyelash fibre through.

8. Place your ice-cream sticker tag on the left page and your cupcake sticker tag on the right page, as shown above.

9. Decorate the rest of your layout with your remaining birthday girl stickers. For a fun effect, layer your gift stickers on top of each other in the bottom right corner to create a pile of presents.

When you are done you will have a bright cheerful layout to reflect the joy of a birthday celebration. The circular birthday stickers carefully arranged on your page also help create the party atmosphere.

School Stickers

Jennifer Gormly — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 22:17:12 +0000

School plays such a big part in our lives and that of our kids (afterall, most of us are at school for 13 years!) so why not preserve those precious school day memories in your scrapbook albums? Whether it’s photos of your kids in their school uniforms, with their school friends or even nervously walking through the gates on their first day, school stickers are the perfect embellishment to help you record those special moments!

Click Here To View Our Range Of School Stickers

In this layout, I have combined a fun blackboard-like paper, primary colours and Autumn Leaves school stickers to create a cheerful School Memories layout. I have also used a sketch (sketch #220) from my collection of 500 Scrapbooking Sketches to help me with my design.

Materials Used: White Bazzill cardstock, It Takes Two Black paper, red cardstock, light yellow Bazzill cardstock, Hot Off The Press Red border, Autumn Leaves Fun Times At School Stickers and Autumn Leaves Learn At School stickers.

To recreate this scrapbook page idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the White Bazzill cardstock as your background.

2. Cut a piece of black paper measuring 28.5cm by 28.5cm. Glue in the centre of your page.

3. Cut a piece of White Bazzill cardstock measuring 30.5cm by 7cm.

4. Mat your white cardstock from Step #3 with light yellow Bazzill cardstock. However, your white cardstock is already the same width as your page, so you only want to create a yellow edge along the top and bottom.

The top edge should be a thin straight edge, no more than 5mm wide. The bottom edge should be more decorative. I have chosen to cut a zig zag edge approximately 1cm wide for my bottom edge, but you can cut whatever shape you wish.

5. Glue your matted white cardstock across your page approximately 7cm from the bottom edge.

6. Cut another piece of White Bazzill cardstock measuring 13cm by 7cm. Mat with light yellow Bazzill cardstock. But again, you only want a yellow edge approximately 5mm wide along the top and bottom edges.

7. Glue your piece from Step #6 horizontally to your page approximately 4.2cm from the top edge and right up against the right edge.

8. Mat a horizontal 4×6 photo with white Bazzill cardstock and again with red cardstock. Glue to your page approximately 2cm from the right edge and 2.5cm from the top edge. There should not be a gap between it and the piece you glued on in Step #7.

9. Place an apple school sticker in the top left corner of the piece you glued on in Step #7.

10. Cut a piece of Hot Off The Press Red border (or any patterned paper) measuring approximately 7.5cm by 1cm. If you wish, slightly round the top left corner. Glue horizontally to the piece you glued on in Step #7 so that it is right up against the right edge and about 5mm above the bottom white edge of this piece.

11. Add your journaling in the remaining space of the piece you added in Step #7.

12. Cut another piece of Hot Off The Press Red border (or any patterned paper) measuring approximately 18cm by 1cm. Glue horizontally across your page so that it is approximately 4cm from the bottom edge and up against the left edge.

13. Mat a vertical photo (you will need to crop this one down so it isn’t so tall) with white Bazzill cardstock and again with red cardstock. Glue to your page approximately 2cm from the right edge and 1.7cm from the bottom edge.

14. Place a school bus sticker above your photo from Step #13, as shown above. You may wish to mat it on white cardstock first to give it dimension and help it stand out.

15. You should now have a large white section available next to your second photo. Use this space to add your title and extra school stickers.

I have used the stickers ‘School’ and ‘Memories’ to create my title. I have then embellished them with adorable school pencil stickers and a school house sticker. But, your choice of school stickers is completely up to you.

And there you have it. I fun, cheerful layout embellished with school stickers. Perfect for recording those treasured school memories!

Baby Scrapbooking Idea

Jennifer Gormly — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 20:07:24 +0000

Since we have so many new baby stickers this week, I thought I would share with you a baby scrapbooking idea I created using one of the sketches from my collection of 500 Scrapbooking Sketches.

I love using sketches to create my layouts. Whether I’m creating a baby scrapbooking idea or something completely different, sketches always help me design my page and focus in on what it is I really want to create. It takes out all the uncertainty and since I’m not stressed about how my page will look, I have so much more fun.

This cute baby scrapbooking idea was created using sketch #3.

Materials Used: Pixie Press Floral paper, Making Memories Pink Plaid paper, light yellow cardstock, pink cardstock, brown cardstock, brown ink, a brown pen Beary Patch Baby Girl stickers and Sandylion Glitter Tinkerbell Rub-Ons (for the title).

To recreate this baby scrapbooking idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the Pixie Press Floral as your background. Ink the edges with brown ink and set aside to dry.

Of course, if you wish to create a baby boy scrapbooking idea instead of a baby girl idea, you will want to change the paper from a pink floral to something else. Perhaps something blue, green or orange.

2. Cut a piece of Making Memories Pink Plaid paper measuring 33cm by 31.5cm. Tear along the bottom edge for extra interest.

3. Using a brown pen, draw a dashed border around the top, left and right edges (not the bottom edge) of your pink plaid paper from Step #2. Also, ink the edges with brown ink.

This effect is perfect for a baby scrapbooking idea as it softens the page and creates a heart-warming feeling.

4. When your pink plaid paper is dry, make a small tear along the top edge approximately 5cm from the left corner. Fold down each side to create triangles (it looks a little like a collar), as shown above. Lightly ink the triangles for a more aged look.

5. Make a second small tear on the right edge of your pink plaid paper approximately 5.5cm from the bottom corner. As in step #4, fold down each side to create triangles, as shown above. Lightly ink the triangles for a more aged look.

6. Glue your pink plaid paper to your page approximately 4cm from the top edge and 3.8cm from the left edge.

7. Cut a piece of brown cardstock measuring approximately 18.5cm by 13cm. Tear along all the edges for a softer look for your baby scrapbooking idea.

8. Mat a horizontal 4×6 photo with light yellow cardstock and again with pink cardstock. Glue in the centre of your brown cardstock from the previous step.

9. Position an “Am I Cute Or What?” rub-on from Sandylion Glitter Tinkerbell Rub-Ons above your photo, as shown above. I know strictly speaking, these rub-ons were not intended for baby scrapbooking ideas, but I thought it suited it perfectly!

10. Finally, decorate your page with baby stickers of your choice. Place them around your photo on your pink plaid paper, as shown above. For a balanced effect, place your largest sticker in the bottom left corner of your pink plaid paper and the second biggest in the top right corner.

Also note, if you wish, there is space for journaling below your photo.

——————————————————————————–

This baby scrapbooking idea is simple and quick to create thanks to the sketch that I started with. I always love quick layouts. Any page that is fast but still looks fantastic is a real blessing as it leaves you time to catch up on all your other to-be-scrapped photos (and, if you’re like me, there are plenty of those!).

I started using sketches because I would agonise over my pages trying to get them just right. I wasted so much time and worry that I hardly got any scrapping done. Sketches really did change all of that for me and I have enjoyed scrapping much more ever since.

Scrapbook Sketch

I’d love to know, so please leave a comment in the box at the bottom of the page.

2. Cut a piece of Autumn Leaves Floral Burst Paper measuring 25.5cm by 17.5cm. Mat with your darkest shade of green cardstock and glue at an angle to your background, as shown above. The bottom left corner should be about 4cm from the left edge and 5cm from the bottom edge.

Scrapbooking Ideas With Sketches

Jennifer Gormly — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 11:08:38 +0000

This week I wanted to share with you a scrapbooking idea that anyone with any level of experience could create and that could be adapted to suit any theme, any colours and any photos. So, I selected a sketch from my 500 Scrapbooking Sketches book and created this layout. I used photos from our trip to Coffs Harbour, but the same page design could literally be used for anything at all. Just switch the patterned papers and colours to ones you like and replace the dolphins with something more appropriate to your theme.

This layout was created using Autumn Leaves Blue Circles paper, Sandylion Light Blue Floral paper, Sassafras Lass Dreamy Dandy paper, Sassafras Lass Dreamy Tingle paper, Blue Plaid paper, white Bazzill cardstock, green Bazzill cardstock, a brown pen, a collection of miscellaneous alphabet stickers and Stickopotamus Shiny Sea Animals stickers.

To recreate this scrapbook page idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the purple Autumn Leaves Blue Circles paper as your background.

2. Cut a piece of Sandylion Light Blue Floral paper measuring approximately 6cm by 30.5cm. Glue it vertically down the left side of your page so it is right up against the left edge.

3. Cut a piece of Sassafras Lass Dreamy Dandy paper measuring approximately 10.4cm by 6cm. Glue it horizontally along the top edge approximately 5.6cm from the left edge.

4. Cut a piece of white Bazzill cardstock measuring approximately 22.8cm by 25.5cm. Glue it along the bottom edge of your page approximately 5.6cm from the left edge.

5. Glue a horizontal 4×6 photo in the top left corner of your white Bazzill cardstock leaving approximately 0.4cm of white showing around it.

6. Cut out three photos each measuring 6.5cm wide by 6cm tall. Arrange them one above the other down the right side of your white cardstock, as shown in the layout above. There should be approximately 0.4cm gap between each one.

7. Cut a piece of green Bazzill cardstock measuring approximately 10cm by 14.2cm. Using a brown pen, add your journaling to this piece. Cut a strip of Blue Plaid paper approximately 1cm tall. Glue horizontally across the bottom of your journaling block, approximately 1.1cm from the bottom edge. Add two small blue bubble stickers in the bottom right corner, as shown above. Glue your journaling block to your page in the space below your 4×6 photo.

8. Cut a piece of Sassafras Lass Dreamy Dandy paper measuring approximately 11.6cm by 5.6cm. Glue it horizontally in the bottom right corner of your white Bazzill cardstock leaving approximately 0.4cm of white showing around it.

9. Using a collection of different alphabet stickers, write your title on top of the Dreamy Dandy paper you just placed in the bottom right corner of your page.

10. Cut a piece of Dreamy Tingle paper measuring approximately 4.7cm by 8.2cm. Glue it vertically in the space left on your white cardstock, as shown above.

11. Finally, add a dolphin sticker in the top left corner of your page and half way day the right side of your page.

Scrapbooking With Sketches

Jennifer Gormly — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:48:36 +0000

It’s not often that I get to scrap with pink, so I loved creating this page. These tulips were a gift from James (my husband and co-owner of Stickers ‘N’ Fun) and I just thought they were so beautiful they needed to be scrapped. I chose a clean, simple design from my 500 Scrapbooking Sketches book to keep the focus on my photos. If you like it, please leave a comment for me in the comments box below.

This layout was created using purple Bazzill cardstock, Autumn Leaves Paper Ribbons paper, white cardstock, small purple alphabet stickers, Suzy’s Zoo Easter Joy stickers, Bo Bunny White Shabby Random Phrases stickers and Doodlebug Designs Love Spell stickers.

To recreate this scrapbook page idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the purple Bazzill cardstock as your background.

2. Cut a piece of Autumn Leaves Paper Ribbons paper measuring approximately 25.74cm by 23.2cm. Using a pencil, lightly mark the spot 10.5cm up from the bottom right corner and the spot 10.5cm left of the bottom right corner. Cut a straight line between these two points so you now have a triangle.

3. Glue your triangle in the bottom right corner of your page.

4. Glue your remaining piece of Paper Ribbons paper up against the left edge of your page and approximately 4.3cm from the bottom edge.

5. Use Bo Bunny White Shabby Random Phrases stickers to create a collage of words on a diagonal line between your two pieces of Paper Ribbons paper, as shown above. Keep in mind that a section of these words will be covered later with your photo.

6. Mat two vertical photos and one horizontal photo with white cardstock. Position them on your page as shown above and glue down.

7. Mat the ‘love’ sticker from Doodlebug Designs Love Spell stickers with white cardstock and glue in the top left corner of your page as part of your title. Finish off your title with small purple alphabet stickers. If you wish, you can add journaling around your page with these same alphabet stickers. For example, I have written ‘From James’ underneath the photo of the single tulip and the date in the space above my horizontal photo.

8. Add a small heart sticker from Doodlebug Designs Love Spell stickers to the right of your title and a heart outline sticker somewhere down the right side of your page.

9. Finally, place a sticker (in my case, a mouse with a tulip) in the bottom right corner of your page.

Scrapbooking With Teenagers

Jennifer Gormly — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 12:29:18 +0000

School holidays are the perfect time to get in some quality time scrapbooking with teenagers. And that’s just what I did last week. My 13 year old niece, Ashleigh and I spent a morning scrapping and having a wonderful time. So I thought I would show off her masterpieces (call it ‘Proud Auntie Syndrome’).

This is the first page she created. The photos are of her elder sister, Jessica’s 12th birthday. She used Chatterbox Powder Puffs paper, white cardstock, red crate paper and Bo Bunny Barn Red Linen Alphabet Tags stickers.

I scrapped photos from the same event awhile ago. Funnily enough, my page actually looks quite similar. If you would like to see my take on it, you can find it here: http://www.stickersnfun.com/skch02.asp

This is the second page she created. It features her grandfather and two younger brothers. I’m not sure what the papers are (they came from her own stash) but she used dark blue Bazzill cardstock, orange Bazzill cardstock, blue thread, a blue pen. a selection of alphabet stickers and star stickers from Pebbles Inc My Guy Words stickers.

Ashleigh used sketches from my 500 Scrapbooking Sketches book to complete both pages. The sketches made it so easy for her to create these pages – she just had to find one she liked and get started. There was no umming and ahhing, just lots of fun. It turned out to be the perfect resource for scrapbooking with teenagers.

If you don’t already have your copy of 500 Scrapbooking Sketches, Click Here.

I really am a very proud aunt. I think Ashleigh did a wonderful job with her creations. Please let her know what you think by leaving her a comment below. I know it would just make her day!

Thank you.
