This layout was created using Basic Grey Sultry Posh paper from the Basic Grey Sultry Posh Paper Pack, two shades of pink Bazzill cardstock, pink cardstock, white cardstock, chocolate brown cardstock, Flourish stamps (mine are from Basic Grey), dark brown ink, pink ink, a pink pen, a chocolate brown flower, a pinkish brad, a small flower punch and NRN Butterflies and Flowers stickers.

To recreate this scrapbook page idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the Basic Grey Sultry Posh paper as your background but turn it on its side so the lines are vertical and the pink flower is in the top right corner.

2. Cut a piece of pink cardstock measuring approximately 4cm by 4.8cm. Glue vertically to your background approximately 12cm from the left edge and 7cm from the top edge.

3. Mat a 4×6 vertical photo with white cardstock and again with your darkest shade of pink Bazzill cardstock.

4. Position your photo on your page approximately 5.2cm from the right edge and 5.6cm from the top edge. Do NOT glue in place. Instead, take note of where your photo is positioned in relation to the pink flowers in the top right corner. Using a craft knife, cut around the edges of the flower your photo would cover just enough to allow you to slip your photo underneath. When you are happy with your cut, slide the top right corner of your photo into the slit and glue your photo in place.

5. Select a two word title for your layout. Cut the letters for the second word out of your lighter shade of pink Bazzill cardstock. Ink all over with dark brown ink. The resulting letters will be dark brown with a tinge of pink showing through. When dry, glue across the top of your page, leaving room to add another smaller word above it.

6. Cut the letters for the first word of your title out of chocolate brown cardstock. Glue them across your page, directly above the second word of your title.

7. Using pink ink, stamp two flourishes on your light pink Bazzill cardstock. If you don’t have stamps, you could draw the shapes yourself. Colour in with a pink pen (I have used glitter pink). Glue in the bottom right corner of your photo, as shown above.

8. Place a chocolate brown flower in the bottom right corner of your photo so it covers the join between your two flourishes. Attach with a pinkish brad.

9. Place a pink dragonfly (or butterfly) sticker to the right of your photo, as shown above.

10. Punch out a small flower from chocolate brown cardstock and glue in between your pink dragonfly and pink flourish, as shown above.

11. Place a pink butterfly sticker to the left of your photo and below your title, as shown above.

12. Punch out four small flowers from chocolate brown cardstock. Create a flight path for the butterfly and glue in place, as shown above.

This layout was created using Basic Grey Sultry Swanky paper from the Basic Grey Sultry Swanky Paper Pack, brown cardstock, tan cardstock, textured chocolate brown cardstock, an American Traditional Designs Moments Frame (a goldish-brown patterned paper will do) and alphabet stickers.

To recreate this scrapbook page idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the brown cardstock as your background.

2. This step is a little tricky. You want to cut a square for the centre of your page. To do this, you want to remove 1.5cm from each side. However, don’t just cut straight lines all the way around. Instead, leave the large leaves in tact so that they extend beyond the edges of your square. Study the picture above to see what I mean before you start cutting your own square.

3. Glue your square to the centre of your page.

4. Glue your American Traditional Designs Moments frame in the top left corner of your page, approximately 3.5cm from the left edge and 3.6cm from the top edge. If you don’t have a frame, cut a piece of patterned paper in a similar colour that measures approximately 19cm by 14.3cm. Glue horizontally in the same position.

5. Mat a vertical 4×6 photo with tan cardstock. Glue in the bottom right corner of your page approximately 3cm from the right edge and 3.6cm from the bottom edge.

6. Mat a horizontal 4×6 photo with tan cardstock. Glue in the centre of your frame so that it overlaps the top left corner of your vertical photo.

7. Select a 2-word title for your page. Cut out the first letter of the first word from textured chocolate brown cardstock. It should be approximately 7cm tall. Mat with tan cardstock.

8. Cut a strip of textured chocolate brown cardstock measuring approximately 10.5cm by 2.5cm long. Using light coloured alphabet stickers, write the first word of your title, minus the first letter, across this strip. Glue to your layout approximately 7.3cm from the left edge of your page and 7.8cm from the bottom edge. It will slightly overlap your vertical photo.

9. Glue your large letter directly to the left of your first word, as shown above.

10. Cut out the first letter of the second word from your title from textured chocolate brown cardstock. It should be approximately 4cm tall. Mat with tan cardstock.

11. Cut a strip of textured chocolate brown cardstock measuring approximately 3.5cm by 1.5cm long. Using light coloured alphabet stickers, write the second word of your title, minus the first letter, across this strip. Glue to your layout approximately 12cm from the left edge of your page and 5cm from the bottom edge.

12. Glue your 4cm letter directly to the left of your second word, as shown above.

This layout was created using Basic Grey Lux paper from the Basic Grey Urban Lux Paper Pack, Karen Foster Plum Texture paper, light brown textured cardstock, light brown cardstock, brown ink, a brown pen, brown ribbon, a yellow flower, one medium sized brad (I have used a Japanese lady brad from Prima), brown alphabet rub-ons and Basic Grey Urban Couture Tag Cut-Outs.

To recreate this scrapbook page idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the Karen Foster Plum Texture paper as your background.

2. Cut a piece of light brown textured cardstock measuring approximately 25.5cm by 28cm. Ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, draw dots as a border around the edges. Keep in mind that large sections will later be covered over so save time by not drawing dots all the way around. Glue to your background so that it is centred horizontally and up against the bottom edge.

3. Take a 4×6 horizontal photo and crop it so that it is only about 14cm wide. Mat with light brown cardstock and adhere on top of your textured brown cardstock approximately 0.4cm from the left edge and 8cm from the bottom edge.

4. Take a 4×6 vertical photo and crop it so that it is only about 9.4cm wide. Mat with light brown cardstock and adhere on top of your textured brown cardstock approximately 0.4cm from the right edge and 9.8cm from the bottom edge. Keep in the mind that the bottom right corner of this photo will be covered.

5. Cut out the red flower from your Basic Grey Lux paper. Make sure you keep some of the ornate detail around it as well as the straight edge along the bottom and p the right side. The piece I cut is about 16.5cm tall and 18.5cm wide. Once cut, glue in the bottom right corner of your page so that it is up against the edges and overlaps your vertical photo.

6. Cut out the green flower from your Basic Grey Lux paper. You need to turn this flower into a corner piece for the bottom left corner, as shown above. Work out where you want your horizontal and vertical edges to be before you start cutting. Again, make sure you leave some of the surrounding details in and be careful not to cut too closely to your yellow flower (you will want that soon). Glue in the bottom left corner of your page so that it is up against the edges and overlaps both your horizontal photo and part of your red flower piece.
7. Cut out the oval Lux tag from Basic Grey Urban Couture Tag Cut-Outs (the one that matches your paper). Cut a piece of brown ribbon to reach across the top of your page and thread your tag onto it, as shown above. Position the tag near the top right corner of your vertical photo so that the ribbon runs horizontally across the top of your page approximately 0.5cm below the top edge of your textured cardstock. Glue down.

8. Place a yellow flower towards the bottom right of your oval tag and secure in place with a brad, as shown above.

9. Cut out the yellow flower from your Basic Grey Lux paper. You need to turn this flower into a corner piece for the top left corner, as shown above. Again, work out where you want your horizontal and vertical edges to be before you start cutting and leave some of the surrounding details in. Glue in the top left corner of your page so that it is up against the edges and overlaps both your horizontal photo and your ribbon.

10. Finally, use brown alphabet rub-ons (or stickers or stamps) to add your title in the space between your yellow flower and your vertical photo.
