]]> I set myself a real scrapbooking challenge this week. As you’ve probably noticed, I love scrapping with patterned papers and combining different designs and patterns. But this week, I decided to restrict myself.

My challenge was to create a single-page layout using only ONE sheet of double-sided patterned paper, some cardstock and very minimal embellishing.

Here’s what I came up with:

My Scrapbooking Challenge

Materials Used: Dark brown textured cardstock, light brown cardstock, Cosmo Cricket Earth Love Recycle paper, brown ink, dark brown ink, black ink, Sandylion brown ribbon border sticker, alphabet stickers from Pink Paislee and Making Memories and a quote sticker from NRN Designs.

To recreate this scrapbook page idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the dark brown textured cardstock as your background.

2. Cut a square of light brown cardstock measuring approximately 28cm by 28cm. For extra effect, cut a scalloped edge pattern along the edges, as shown in the layout above. This just gives your page a little extra character.

Ink the edges of your square with brown ink and glue in the centre of your page.

3. Cut a strip from the underside of Cosmo Cricket Earth Love Recycle paper measuring 7.5cm by 30.5cm. Very lightly ink the edges with black ink. You just want to give it a subtle outline. Set aside to dry.

4. Cut a piece of Cosmo Cricket Earth Love Recycle paper measuring 25.7cm by 23cm. Ink the edges with dark brown ink and when dry, glue to your layout so that it is centred horizontally and is about 2.6cm from the bottom edge.

5. Glue your strip from step #3 across your page approximately 6.2cm from the bottom edge.

6. Place a Sandylion brown ribbon sticker (or any border sticker or piece of ribbon) across your page approximately 7.1cm from the bottom edge.

7. Mat a vertical 5×7 photo with light brown cardstock. Glue to your page approximately 3.9cm from the left edge and 4cm from the bottom edge.

8. Using alphabet stickers, write your title to the left of your photo, as shown in the scrapbooking layout above. My title reads: Together. The Best Place To Be.

9. From your remaining patterned paper, cut out two leaf images and two dandelion images. Arrange the leaves in the top left corner of your page and the two dandelion images in the bottom right corner of your page, as shown above.

10. Finally, add a quote sticker towards the top right corner of your page, just above your Recycle patterned paper.

I had a lot of fun with this challenge. Why don’t you give it a go and see what you can create with just a single piece of double-sided scrapbooking paper as the basis of your design!

]]> Often when we go looking for fresh scrapbooking ideas, what we find is often difficult and time consuming to re-create. But sometimes, the real beauty in a layout lies in its simplicity!

For example, the scrapbooking layout below involves little more than matting your photo and scattering some small squares of patterned paper around your page. But in using these squares to create a heart-shaped frame around your photo, you can create a gorgeous page to preserve a special photo.

Heart Scrapbooking Ideas

Materials Used: Pixie Press Rose Splash paper, Creative Imaginations Lavender Wash paper, Me & My Big Ideas Green Stripe paper, purple cardstock, green ink, All My Memories Alphabet stickers and Queen & Company Purple Heart Brads.

To recreate this heart scrapbooking idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the Rose Splash paper as your background. Lightly ink around the edges with green ink. The effect is subtle, but it does help to bring out the green in the paper’s design. Set aside to dry.

2. Mat a 4×6 horizontal photo with purple cardstock. The border around your photo should be quite small (around 2mm).

3. Mat your photo again with Rose Splash paper. This border should be much wider (around 10mm). Ink the edges with green ink.

4. When dry, once again mat your photo with purple cardstock. This border should also be narrow (around 2mm).

5. Place your matted photo on your background paper to decide its position, but do not adhere yet. If you wish, you can lightly mark where it will go with a pencil.

6. Cut out (or punch) a collection of 2cm squares from both your Creative Imaginations Lavender Wash paper and your Me & My Big Ideas Green Stripe paper. You will need 35-40 squares in total.

7. Ink the edges of your green squares with green ink and set aside to dry.

8. And now comes the creation of your heart scrapbooking idea! Arrange your squares in a heart shape around where your photo will go, as shown in the layout above. Make sure you use and variety of angles and keep in mind that you do not have to alternate your squares evenly all the way around your heart. In other words, it does not have to go purple, green, purple, green, purple, green etc. Doubling up on one or the other colours every now and then helps to add interest to your page.

9. Once you have completed you heart, adhere your photo in place.

10. Use your alphabet stickers to write your title towards the bottom right corner of your scrapbooking layout. Remember, keeping it small and understated draws the viewer’s attention to your photo and the heart frame you have created around it.

11. Finally, finish off your page with a simple heart accent like a Purple Queen & Company Heart Brad in the bottom right corner of your page, next to your title.

The beauty of this heart background scrapbooking idea is that it really doesn’t matter what scrapbooking supplies you have. You can adapt it to suit any papers you like!

]]> Doodlebug stickers are among my favourite types of stickers. They are always playful and fun, but sometimes they can also be adapted to suit more sophisticated and elegant layouts. On this layout I have used bright pink and red romance stickers from Doodlebug and combined them with muted tones and flourish rub-ons to create a more formal and stylish look.

Doodlebug Stickers

This layout was created using brown Bazzil cardstock, pink patterned paper from Scrapbooking Memories magazine, pink cardstock, ribbon, Creative Imaginations Pink Alphabet stickers, Junkitz Alphabet Rub-ons, Basic Grey Flourishes Rub-ons, dark brown ink and Doodlebug Designs Sweet Things stickers.

To recreate this scrapbook page idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the brown Bazzil cardstock as your background.

2. Cut a piece of pink patterned paper measuring approximately 21cm by 27.5cm. Adhere vertically to the left side of your page, as shown in the layout above.

3. Mat a vertical 5×7 photo with pink cardstock. Adhere to your page approximately 3.5cm from the top edge and 3cm from the left edge.

4. Glue a piece of ribbon across the bottom of your page about 3.5cm above the bottom edge.

5. Select three heart-shaped stickers and two circular stickers from your Doodlebug Designs Sweet Things stickers. Adhere them along your ribbon equal distances apart, as shown in the layout above.

6. Place the letters of the word ‘Love’ from Doodlebug Designs Sweet Things stickers to the right of your photo.

7. Use Junkitz brown alphabet rub-ons to write the word ‘is’ to the right of the word ‘Love’ from the previous step.

8. Create the last word of your title with Creative Imaginations pink alphabet stickers. Mat each letter with white cardstock and ink the edges with dark brown ink to make them stand out. When dry, glue to your layout below the first two words of your title.

9. Adhere two pink heart stickers in the top left corner of your title area, as shown in the layout above.

10. Finally, finish off your page with Basic Grey Flourishes Rub-ons. I have placed a rub-on on the top and bottom left corners of the photo. I also placed a long rub-on below my title and embellished with a few extra swirls. Play with the combinations and see what you come up with!

]]> 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.

Scrapbooking With Sketches

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.
