The photo was taken at my niece’s birthday party, but instead of focusing on the celebrations, I wanted to focus on the young lady she was growing up to be. I chose a sophisticated colour scheme of pinks (bright pinks, not baby pinks) and browns to show her maturity and mixed in several sweet fairy stickers to show her youth. I also added character to my journaling by mixing up my fonts. Try using some of these techniques in your own pages.

Materials Used: Daisy D’s Daughter Plaid paper, Paper Garden Watermelon Ribbon Stripe paper, Bazzill Cardstock (pink and pale pink), pink cardstock, pink ric-rac, Amethyst ink pad, Petal Pink ink pad, alphabet stamps (2 fonts), pink pens, glitter and Sandylion Pink Fairy stickers.
 
To recreate this scrapbooking idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the plain pink cardstock as your background. It will be completely covered, so the exact colour is not important.

2. Cut two strips of Daisy D’s Daughter Plaid paper each. The first should be approximately 5.5cm tall and the other should be approximately 8cm tall. Adhere the smaller strip across the top of your page and the larger strip along the bottom.

3. Mat a vertical 4×6 photo on pale pink Bazzill cardstock giving it 5mm border all the way around your photo. Mat again on pink Bazzill cardstock. This time the border should be approximately 1cm at the top and bottom and 2cm at the sides. Your photo mat should now be approximately 18cm tall.

4. Cut a piece of Paper Garden Watermelon Ribbon Stripe paper. This will be your journaling block. You will have to calculate the size of this piece based on the size of your matted photo. It should be the same height as your matted photo (approximately 18cm tall) and when placed next to your matted photo, the width of the two pieces together should add up to the width of your page (i.e. 12 inches). You may wish to make this piece slightly wider than necessary and allow your photo to overlap it once adhered to the page.

5. Now is the tricky bit – your journaling. Consider what you would like to say in your journaling and how you would like to arrange it on your journaling block. Jot it down on some scrap paper so you know what you are working with.

6. Begin with the first word of your journaling. This goes across the top of your journaling block and should be the largest word. In my case, I stamped the word ‘Ashleigh’ across the top. Try not to line up your letters perfectly – sometimes the haphazard look is much more effective.

I also stamped the letter ‘A’ on a rectangle of pale pink Bazzill cardstock, inked the edges of the rectangle with the same ink and used that for my first letter of my title to make it stand out.

7. Add the last word of your journaling across the bottom of your journaling block. Make sure you leave plenty of room on the left for the fairy tag that you will add later. The last word of my journaling is ‘pink.’ I used a different stamp set and stamped each letter on a circular piece of pale pink Bazzill cardstock. I then inked the edges of each circle with Petal Pink ink and Amethyst ink before adhering them along the bottom of my journaling block.

8. Write the rest of your journaling in between the two words you have created. Write directly on your Watermelon Striped paper with a pink pen. Every now and then, add emphasis to certain words by switching to a purple pen and writing in a larger, fancier font.

9. Select a few other words you would like to emphasise. Write these words on small pieces of pale pink Bazzill cardstock and cut into rectangles. Ink the edges of the rectangles with petal pink ink and glue in place.

10. Adhere your journaling block to the left side of your page, in between the two pieces of plaid paper you have already glued across the top and bottom of your page. It should overlap slightly with each of them.

11. Adhere your photo mat next to your journaling block. Make sure you position it so the top and bottom edges are in line with the top and bottom edges of your journaling block.

12. Cut two pieces of pink ric-rac. Adhere across your page to cover both joins between your plaid strips and your journaling block and photo mat.

13. Finally, cut four small tags from pale pink Bazzill cardstock. One should be smaller than the other three. Ink the edges with petal pink ink and punch a hole in the top. Select four Sandylion Pink Fairy stickers and adhere one in the centre of each tag. If you wish, you can add a little glitter to their wings. Thread a small piece of pink ric-rac through each hole and adhere your fairy tags as shown in the layout above. 

Now you have a sophisticated page to delight any pre-teen!

This card was created using white Bazzill cardstock, MM Colors By Design paper, white cardstock, pastel eyelash fibre, an orange/pink flower from Bazzill, a small white brad and Barbie Phrases stickers.

To recreate this card making idea, follow these steps:

1. Cut a piece of white Bazzill cardstock measuring 5 1/2 inches by 11 inches (14cm by 28cm). Fold in half to create a card. Place it in front of you so the fold is along the top edge.

2. Cut a piece of MM Colors By Design paper measuring 13cm by 13cm. Glue to the centre of your card.

3. Cut a piece of pastel eyelash fibre about 16cm long. Wrap around your card approximately 3.5cm from the bottom edge, as shown in the layout above. Make sure you secure it well at the back (you don’t want it falling off later). I just used photo tabs, but use whatever adhesive you are comfortable with.

4. Cut a piece of white cardstock measuring 7.2cm by 11.7cm.

5. Select a phrase sticker from your Barbie Phrases stickers (I have chosen one that says ‘friendship’) and stick in the bottom left corner of your white cardstock from the previous step. Working up and across, cover the whole piece of cardstock with different phrase stickers. It doesn’t matter which ones you use, but try to mix up the colours and sizes a little for variety.

6. Mat your cardstock covered in phrases from the previous step with white cardstock and glue on the right side of your card.

7. Select a Barbie sticker from your sheet of Barbie stickers and mat with white cardstock. Glue on top of your phrases as shown above, making sure it is slightly off-centre.

8. Finally, using a small white brad attach an orange/pink flower towards the bottom left corner of your card.

Often the colours in our photos determine the colours of our background papers and embellishments. This would most likely have resulted in a blue page for this photo. However, I wanted to page to represent my niece’s personality at age 9. I wanted it to be very girly and pink (her favourite colour) so chose colours to complement the blue rather than match it. This is a great way to step out of the box a little and try some colour combinations you might not otherwise have had a chance to use.

This layout was created using Pixie Press Floral paper, Sonnets Leaf Linen paper, Daisy D’s Blush Gingham paper, Brown Ribbon, Sonnets Alphastamps stickers, Sandylion Wedding Alphabet stickers and Art of Scraps Wheat Tags.

To recreate this scrapbook page idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the Pixie Press Floral paper as your background.

2. Cut a piece of Sonnets Leaf Linen paper measuring approximately 23.5cm by 20cm. Position it on your page so that it is centred horizontally, as shown above. Do not glue down. Instead, lightly mark the area of the background floral paper you will be covering up and cut out three of the flowers from within this area. These will be used later embellish your page. Erase the marks you made and then glue down your rectangle.

3. Mat your photo with Blush Gingham paper. Position your photo on the right-hand side of your Leaf Linen rectangle and adhere.

4. Take your set of three Art of Scraps Wheat Tags. Punch a hole in the top of each one and thread your brown ribbon through. Attach the ribbon by tying a small knot. Position your three tags, one above the other, to the left of your photo and adhere.

5. Use your Sandylion Wedding Alphabet stickers and Alphastamps stickers to create your title. I suggest selecting a three word title and placing one word on each tag. If you do not want a title, you could instead use three descriptive words to describe the subject of your photo.

6. Finally, finish off your page by positioning your three flowers around the photo and title.
