Scrapbooking With Patterned Paper

Scrapbooking With Patterned Paper

By Jennifer Gormly

 

As most of you know by now I love playing with patterned papers and most of the time I create stream-lined pages. I love straight lines, parallel elements and balance. This week I am sticking with the straight-lined approach but I've spiced it up a little with angles. By using the same techniques with a spin you can add a fresh look to your pages!

 

Scrapbooking With Patterned Paper

 

This layout  was created using two papers from Basic Grey Urban Brocade Paper Pack (Cashmere and Brocade), blue cardstock, tan cardstock, dark brown ink, round alphabet stickers, brown ribbon, a blue brad, Basic Grey Urban Couture Tag cut-outs and Frances Meyer Cute Cats stickers.

 

Lightly ink the edges of the Cashmere paper with dark brown ink and set aside to use as your background.

 

Cut a piece of Brocade paper measuring approximately 17.5cm by 15cm. Measure 1.5cm to the left of the bottom right corner. Cut from this mark to the top right corner to create an angled edge. Ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, adhere to the right side of your background approximately 8cm from the bottom.

 

Cut a piece of Brocade paper measuring approximately 8cm by 15cm. Measure 1.5cm to the right of the top left corner. Cut from this mark to the bottom left corner to create an angled edge. Ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, adhere to the left side of your background approximately 7.5cm from the bottom.

 

Cut a piece of tan cardstock measuring approximately 21.5cm by 19cm. Ink the edges with brown ink. Adhere to your page as shown in the layout above. Remember to keep this piece parallel with the Brocade pieces you have already done.

 

Adhere a vertical 4x6 photo in the bottom left corner of the tan cardstock and another in the top right corner.

 

Cut a strip of blue cardstock to fill the gap above the first photo. Adhere as shown in the layout above. Cut a second strip to fill the gap below the second photo, as shown in the layout above. Take care to ensure the strip will reach all the way to the edge of the background paper.

 

Use round alphabet stickers to add your title along the top blue strip. If possible, overlap some of the title with your second photo. Place the cat sitting sticker behind one of your letters and embellish the other letters with small stickers like the hearts and stars.

 

Select the small brown tag from the Basic Grey Urban Couture Tag cut-outs and ink the edges with brown ink. Thread a piece of thick brown ribbon through the hole. Adhere the tag in the bottom right corner of your second photo so that it overlaps the blue strip. Place a sleeping cat sticker in the middle of the tag and attach a blue brad as shown in the layout above.

 

Add a standing cat sticker and a cat bowl sticker to the bottom left corner of the first photo.

 

Cut two large corners from tan cardstock. Ink the edges with brown ink. Also use your ink pad to dab ink all over the corner to create the look shown in the layout above. When dry, adhere one in the top right corner of your page and the other in the bottom left corner.

 

Finally, add journaling to the second blue strip and embellish with any extra stickers.
