There’s lots of different designs to choose from to give your pages that special touch and there are so many different ways to scrap with them.

One page I absolutely love, is this layout that I found on Sticko’s official website:

Artist: Nicole Ratzlaff

This layout uses Puffy Fish stickers to create a unique border down the ride side of the page. The artist has used a simple strip of green cardstock as the base for her border, punched holes in it to create a bubble effect and strategically placed fish stickers all the way down for a completely unique look.

She’s also very cleverly incorporated several fish stickers into her title, again creating a one-of-a-kind embellishment for her page.

Of course, you don’t have to use only fish stickers to re-create this effect. Any small stickers will do. Just choose the theme you want to work with and have some fun.

So I set myself another challenge – to make my favourite paper a key element of my layout’s design while still showing off my photos. And here is the result:

Materials Used: Basic Grey Indian Summer Milkweed paper, Basic Grey Indian Summer Dogwood paper, pink cardstock, brown and pink alphabet stickers, light brown cardstock, brown ink and a frog stamp from Imaginisce.

To recreate this scrapbook page idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the Basic Grey Indian Summer Milkweed paper as your background. Lightly ink around the edges with brown ink and allow it to dry.

2. This step is a little tricky. Using a craft knife or scissors, cut around the outline of the pink flowers up the left side of your Milkweed paper. You should start about 4.3cm from the bottom edge and continue up until you are about 4.7cm from the top edge. Do NOT cut all the way to the edges of your page.

If in doubt, please see the picture above and keep in mind you are cutting a slot to slide your brown Dogwood paper into.

3. Cut a square of Basic Grey Indian Summer Dogwood paper measuring 21.5cm by 21.5cm. Lightly ink the edges with brown ink. When dry, slide into the slot you made in the previous step to see what it looks like but do NOT glue in place.

4. Take note of the area covered by your brown paper and then set your brown paper aside. Cut out two leaves and a pink piece about 5cm by 6cm from the area that will later be covered. These will be used to create your frog embellishment.

5. Slide your brown paper into place again and glue. It should be about 1.9cm from the right edge and 4.3cm from the bottom edge.

6. Mat a vertical photo with pink cardstock. Glue in the bottom left corner of your brown paper, making sure you slide the edges underneath the pink flowers of your background paper, as shown above.

7. Mat a second vertical photo with pink cardstock. It should be slightly smaller than the previous one. Glue in the bottom right corner of your brown paper, making sure the top edge is inline with the top edge from the photo from step #6.

8. Mat a horizontal photo with pink cardstock. Glue in the top right corner of your brown paper, making sure the right edge is inline with the right edge from the photo from step #7.

9. Now it’s time to create your title in the top left corner of your page. I have used a combination of dark brown alphabet stickers from K&Company matted with light brown cardstock and pink and brown alphabet squares from DCWV. You can use whatever letters you like. The important thing is that they stand out.

10. Finally, stamp an image of a frog (or anything else) on the pink piece you set aside in step #4 and cut it out. Arrange it and your two leaves towards the bottom right corner of your page.

And there you have it – a layout that showcases not just your photos but a beautiful piece of Basic Grey Indian Summer paper. There is still a lot going on on this page, but the dark brown background for the photos creates a break between them and the patterned paper, allowing the photos to shine on their own.

Plus, you still get to see those gorgeous Basic Grey patterns.

In this layout, I have combined snow stickers from Reminisce’s Winter Wonderland range with co-ordinating ribbon for an extra special effect.

Materials Used: Provo Craft patterned papers (blue circles, blue swirls and purple swirls), Queen and Company Winter Circles paper, two shades of purple cardstock, white cardstock, ribbon, purple brads, a purple glitter pen and Reminisce Winter Wonderland stickers.

To recreate this scrapbook page idea, follow these steps:
 
1. Use the darkest shade of purple cardstock as your background.

2. Cut a piece of Blue Circles paper measuring approximately 16.5cm by 30.5cm. Adhere across your page approximately 1.5cm from the top edge.

3. Cut a piece of Blue Swirls paper measuring approximately 11cm by 30.5cm. Adhere across your page approximately 2cm from the bottom edge. It should just touch your Blue Circles paper from the previous step.

4. Cut a strip of the light shade of purple cardstock measuring approximately 1.2cm by 30.5cm. Adhere it across your page over the join between your Blue Circles paper and your Blue Swirls paper.

5. Cut a piece of ribbon to go across the top of your page over the join between the Blue Circles paper and your background cardstock. Thread it through your ‘Winter Wonderland’ sticker, positioning the sticker so that it ends up towards the top right side of your page. Adhere in place.

6. Cut a second piece of ribbon, this time to go across the bottom of your page covering the join between your Blue Swirls paper and your background cardstock. Thread it through the smaller snowflakes buckle sticker, positioning the sticker so that it ends up towards the bottom right side of your page. Adhere in place.

7. Cut a piece of Winter Circles paper measuring approximately 13cm by 22.5cm. Adhere vertically on the left side of your page, as shown in the layout above.

8. Cut a circle with a diameter of approximately 11cm from the Purple Swirls paper and adhere towards the centre of your page (see above layout for exact positioning).

9. Cut a piece of ribbon approximately 15cm long. Thread the round snowy sticker through it and adhere across the bottom section of your Winter Circles paper. Use a purple brad to secure the left side of the ribbon in place (there is no need to use a brad on the right side as the right edge will end up behind your photo).

10. Mat your photos with light purple cardstock. Use a purple glitter pen to thinly outline your photo mat. When dry, position your photos as shown in the layout above and adhere.

11. Cut a rectangle of white cardstock measuring approximately 10.5cm by 10cm. Add your journaling, remembering to leave a space at the top and the bottom right corner for your snowy stickers. Adhere in the top right corner of your page, as shown in the layout above.

12. Cut a piece of ribbon approximately 11.5cm long and adhere across the top of your journaling block. Use a purple brad to secure the right side of the ribbon (there is no need to use a brad on the left side as the left edge will end up behind a sticker).

13. Finish off your page by adding the remaining snowy stickers. See the layout above for exact positioning. You may also like to include a purple brad through the hole of the ‘Chilly’ sticker to add a touch of dimension.

As you can see, the snowy stickers from Reminisce work really well with the ribbon. Of course, Reminisce stickers come in all sorts of themes. Choose your favourite and see what you can come up with.

Most K&Company collections are quite extensive and feature a wide variety of matching products. For example, one collection might include papers, glitter papers, embossed papers, stickers, epoxy stickers, 3D stickers, rub-ons, chipboard, tags, tape, die-cuts and more all beautifully co-ordinated with each other. It makes it so easy for us scrappers to mix and match (although I love to make up my own combinations as well!).

I have a particular weakness for their rub-ons. Many are accented with glitter for that extra sparkle and some come with rhinestones to give your scrapbooking layouts a bit of bling. They are stunningly detailed and very easy to use.

For example, in this layout I have used rub-ons from the K&Company Amy Butler Lotus collection:

Materials Used: Blue Bazzill cardstock (for the background), Pebbles Inc Theodore Circle paper, Creative Imaginations Unit 22 paper, Stemma Milestones paper, Scenic Route Charlotte Canal Street Floral paper, 7Gypsies Boulogne paper, Foofala Brown Ivy paper, white cardstock, pink ink, Doodlebug Bubble Blue Hopscotch Alphabet stickers, Paper House Beach Alphabet stickers and K&Company Lotus Rub-Ons W/ Gems.

As you can see, I have used several rub-ons all over my layout to embellish and highlight my photos.

Apart from the photos, my main feature of the page is the collection of flowers, rub-ons and rhinestones in the bottom right corner of my large photo:

To re-create this collection:

1. Cut out a large flower shape from Foofala Brown Ivy paper. It should be about 8cm in diameter. Carefully scrunch it up and then flatten it again. Ink all the way around the edge with pink ink. Also smear some ink across the face of the flower and set aside to dry.

2. Cut out three circles from Foofala Brown Ivy paper. The first should be slightly smaller than your flower (maybe 5.5cm in diameter), the next slightly smaller than that and the next smaller still. Carefully scrunch each one up and then flatten again. Ink all the way around the edge with pink ink and smear some ink across the face of each circle. Set aside to dry.

3. Place your flower in the bottom right corner of your photo, but do not glue down. Take note of its position. Apply your K&Company green branch rub-on so that when the flower is glued down, it will look like it is sitting on top of the end of the branch, as shown in the picture above. You may also want to add a small green butterfly rub-on, as shown above.

4. Glue your flower in place. Layer your three circles on top of it and glue in place.

5. Cut out a second, smaller flower from Foofala Brown Ivy paper. It should be about 4.5cm in diameter. Again, carefully scrunch it up and then flatten it. Ink all the way around the edge with pink ink and smear some ink across the face of the flower. When dry, glue above and to the right of your large flower, as shown above.

6. Cut a circle approximately 2cm in diameter from Foofala Brown Ivy paper. Carefully scrunch it up and flatten. Ink all the way around the edge with pink ink and smear some ink across the face of the circle. When dry, glue in the centre of the flower from the previous step.

7. Finally, embellish with rhinestones from your K&Company rub-ons by positioning them in curved lines coming out from your large flower, as shown above.

K&Company designs are extremely versatile and easily adaptable to suit many different styles of scrapbooking and different themes. For example, I could just as easily have used these rub-ons to decorate a page about my beautiful nieces, flowers, butterflies, a picnic or even my wedding. And of course, they could also be used when making cards or other off-the-page projects.

As always, the key to a fabulous layout is to use photos and products that you love and, to quote the K&Company rub-ons used here, “Do What You Love” and “Love What You Do.”

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.
