In this layout, I have use the brand new Karen Foster Kitchen Cooking stickers to create a “In the Kitchen” layout.

Materials Used: Three shades of brown Bazzill cardstock, Provo Craft Green Flowers paper, Deja Views Tangerine Flower Fresh Print paper, Foofala Brown Ivy paper, white cardstock, light brown cardstock, white Bazzill cardstock, two shades of brown ink, a brown pen, two white brads, orange ribbon from Bo Bunny and Karen Foster Kitchen Cooking stickers.

To recreate this scrapbook page idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the darkest shade of brown Bazzill cardstock as your background.

2. Cut a piece of Provo Craft Green Flowers paper measuring 27.3cm by 22cm. Ink the left and right edges with brown ink. Lightly ink again with dark brown ink. When dry, glue to your page so that it is centred and up against the right edge of your page.

3. Cut a piece of Deja Views Tangerine Flower Fresh Print paper measuring 27.3cm by 4cm. Round the top left corner. Ink the edges with brown ink. Lightly ink again with dark brown ink. When dry, glue to across your page so that it is approximately 2cm from the top edge and up against the right edge. It will slightly overlap your green paper.

4. Cut a second piece of Deja Views Tangerine Flower Fresh Print paper measuring 27.3cm by 4cm. Round the bottom left corner. Ink the edges with brown ink. Lightly ink again with dark brown ink. When dry, glue to across your page so that it is approximately 2cm from the bottom edge and up against the right edge. It will slightly overlap your green paper.

You have now created your background.

5. Mat a vertical 4×6 photo with white cardstock. Mat again with light brown cardstock and again with you middle shade of brown Bazzill cardstock. Glue to your page within the green section and approximately 1.2cm from the right edge.

It is now time to create your tags.

6. Cut two pieces of Foofala Brown Ivy paper, each measuring 5.5cm by 9cm. Cut the top corners of both to create a tag shape. Ink the edges of both with brown ink. Lightly ink again with dark brown ink. Then, using a brown pen, draw a border around each tag.

7. Mat both tags with your lightest shade of brown Bazzill cardstock and lightly ink the edges of both with your darkest shade of brown ink.

8. Cut two piece of orange ribbon, each about 9cm long. Wrap one around the first tag so that it starts towards the bottom left corner and finishes about one third the way up the right side.

9. Wrap one piece of ribbon around the first tag so that it starts towards the bottom left corner and finishes about one third the way up the right side. Please refer to the picture above for exact placement.

10. Wrap the second piece of ribbon around the second tag so that it starts towards the top left corner and finishes about one third the way down the right side. Please refer to the picture above for exact placement.

11. Cut out a flower shape from white cardstock. You may wish to use a template or punch to do this. Ink the edges with brown ink. Lightly ink again with dark brown ink and place the ‘A pinch a smidgen or a dash?’ sticker in the middle.

You now have the elements you need to create the collage to the right of the photo – two tags, a flower shape and your Kitchen cooking stickers.

12. Arrange your stickers and tags as shown in the layout above. You may want to place around with your arrangement before you stick anything down. You also have room to add journaling on the ‘From our kitchen with love” sticker.

13. One everything has been stuck down, cut two more piece of orange ribbon, each approximately 5cm long. Fold them in half and secure them at the top of each tag with a white brad, as shown above.

14. Finally, place the ‘In the Kitchen” cooking sticker towards the bottom right corner of your page, as shown above, for your title.

And there you have it! A cheerful  and fun layout for showcasing your fun in the kitchen photos!

This week I wanted to scrap a photo from my 26th birthday, but instead of choosing a traditional birthday design, I thought I might create something more whimsical and feminine. The Springs Birds & Flower stickers from Karen Foster are so pretty and were just perfect. Here are the results:

Materials Used: Dark purple cardstock (for the background), Metallic blue Bazzill cardstock, American Traditional Glitter paper, Fiskars Purple Stars paper, It Takes Two Leaves paper, purple border stickers from Hunter Leisure, Making Memories Alphabet stickers, a purple pen and Karen Foster Springs Birds & Flower stickers.

There are a few stages involved when re-creating this layout but it is quite simple. Once again, I have used a sketch from 500 Scrapbooking Sketches to guide my design (although I turned it upside down).

Here are some tips to note when re-creating a layout like this.

1. Printing photos in black and white or sepia are a great way to give character to your photos. They also allow you to scrap with whatever colours, patterns and embellishments you want, without having to worry if they will clash with the clothes the subjects of your photos are wearing. In this case, it allowed me to scrap a photo that was heavily dominated by greens and blues with purples and pinks (and of course, my pretty Karen Foster stickers).

2. I cut around the patterns on my American Traditional Glitter paper to create unique corners for my layout. It not only made my page unique, but turning the paper into embellishments gave me the opportunity to highlight the beautiful swirls and flowers on my paper instead of covering them up with photos.

3. I used a purple pen to draw a dashed border around both my purple stars paper and my leaf paper. This gave the designs some distinction so they didn’t get lost in the design. It’s a wonderful, but subtle way to make things stand out without making them the centre of attention.

4. Just because border stickers tend to be 12 inches long, that doesn’t mean you have to use all 12 inches of them. In this layout, I have only used sections of my border stickers to create nice accents at the top and bottom of my page.

5. One of my favourite things to do with stickers is to stick them on white cardstock and cut them out. I don’t always do it, but I find that it’s nice to help some stickers stand out from the page.

Most Karen Foster stickers are made from cardstock so they already have some depth, but their clear range is made to resemble rub-ons and so have very little depth. I love the new line. They really do look like they could be rub-ons – no ridges when crossing layers, no outlines…just beautiful. But on this page, I wanted the pink bird in the middle of the page to stand out, so I stuck it on white cardstock and then cut it out before gluing it in place.

There is a Karen Foster sticker to suit almost every scrapbooking project. They come in lots of different themes and styles. Find the ones that make you smile!

This layout was created using It Takes Two Green Fibre paper, brown stripe paper, green cardstock, gold letters, a brown pen and Karen Foster Redwood Forest stickers.

To recreate this scrapbook page idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the It Takes Two Green Fibre paper as your background. If you do not have this paper, any nature green paper will do.

2. Position your border stickers down the left and right sides of your page and stick down. To minimise the risk of making a mistake with your placement, I recommend roughly cutting the sticker out while still on its backing paper. When you are ready to adhere it to your page, peal back a corner of the backing paper. Stick that corner in place and slowly pull the backing paper away from the rest of the sticker with one hand while sticking it in place with the other. This will make it much easier to get it straight and in the desired position.

3. Mat your main horizontal 4×6 photo with green cardstock and again with brown stripe paper. Glue towards the top left corner of your page, as shown above.

4. Mat your vertical 4×6 photo with brown stripe paper. Glue towards the bottom right corner of your page, as shown above.

5. Mat your remaining photo with brown stripe paper. Glue towards the bottom left corner of your page, as shown above.

6. To create your title, cut one square of brown stripe paper for each letter of your title. Place a gold letter in the centre of a square. Instead of matting the square, draw a border around the edges with a brown pen. Position your letters, one above the other in the top right corner of your page and adhere. Your arrangement will depend on how many letters you have. Overlap them if necessary.

7. Cut a rectangle of brown stripe paper for your journaling box. Use a brown pen to journal and then draw a brown border around the edges as you did with the letters. Glue to your page in the remaining space between your photos.

8. Finally, use the remainder of your stickers to decorate and embellish your layout.
