I created this page to show off the roses my husband gave me on our 18 month anniversary. I wanted the page to follow a romantic theme while drawing attention to the redness of the roses. Hence, I chose a burgundy theme.

This layout was created using red plaid paper, Francheville red hearts paper, iridescent vellum, Hot of the Press white hearts vellum, white cardstock, a black pen and Suzy’s Zoo Ollie & Martha Valentines stickers.

To recreate this scrapbook page idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the red plaid paper as your background.

2. Cut a piece of Francheville red hearts paper measuring approximately 21cm by 28cm. Tear along each side to give a white edge. Glue vertically to your page approximately 4.5cm from the left edge and 1.5cm from the bottom edge.

3. Tear a strip of iridescent vellum approximately 8cm tall. Glue it across your page approximately 6cm from the top edge.

NOTE: Scrapbooking with vellum can be a difficult task. I often use a spray adhesive, but it can be messy, so I avoid it where possible. For this strip, spray adhesive was not necessary. Because I was placing my photo on top of the vellum, I simply placed the adhesive in the areas that would be covered up by the photo. I also placed adhesive in the area that I was later going to cover with a scrapbooking sticker. This way, the vellum was still glued down firmly, but I did not have to worry about messy adhesives or the adhesive being visible.

4. Tear a rectangle of  Hot of the Press white hearts vellum measuring approximately 18cm by 21cm. Glue to your page approximately 2cm from the left edge and 1cm from the top edge. Again, you only need to use adhesive in the areas that will later be covered by your photo, so you don’t have to worry about your glue being visible.

5. Mat your photo with white cardstock. Glue to your page approximately 6.5cm from the left edge and 4.8cm from the top edge.

6. Use a black pen to journal on the white heart vellum below your photo. When you have finished your journaling, tear out a piece of white cardstock that is slightly bigger than the space your journaling takes and glue it underneath the vellum to make your journaling stand out.

7.  Place the small rose sticker in the bottom left corner of the photo and a string of small heart stickers underneath.

8. Tear a rectangle of iridescent vellum measuring approximately 13cm by 9.5cm. Place your large Ollie & Martha sticker in the middle and three small heart stickers around it. Glue in the bottom right corner of your page. Again, you only need to place adhesive in the areas covered by your stickers.

9. Finally, place the large ‘Be Mine’ heart sticker on the vellum next to your photo, as shown above.

This layout was created using blue patterned paper, blue cardstock, Creative Imaginations Stripes paper, blue vellum and Bo Bunny Watch Me stickers. Wave scissors would also be helpful but not essential.

To recreate this scrapbook page idea, follow these steps:

1. Use the blue patterned paper as your background.

2. Cut three strips of vellum – one approximately 4cm tall, one approximately 7cm tall and another approximately 10cm tall. When cutting each strip, give the top edge a wavy effect. This can be done with a template, or more easily, with wavy scissors.

3. Place the largest strip of vellum across the bottom of your page. Adhere to the background by placing glue in the top left (behind where the sticker will be). This is enough to keep the vellum in place, but you can also place a dab of glue in the areas the other stickers will cover if you want to attach it more securely.

4. Next, place the boy in the blue tube sticker in the top left corner of the vellum strip. Half of this sticker goes onto the vellum and half onto the background paper, again helping to secure the vellum. Try to place the sticker so the next layer of vellum will slightly overlap it.

5. The second layer of vellum is the most difficult to attach as the sticker is going both on top of and below the vellum. This way, the boy looks like he is swimming in the water, but his board and the water splats are on top of the water. In order to do this, all you need to do is make a small cut on the sticker from the curve around the water splats to the board.

6. Now to adhere the second layer of vellum to your layout by placing a dab of glue on the right side (where the third sticker will cover) and attaching it to your layout. Adhere your sticker to the first layer of vellum, as shown above, remembering to lift the board end to stick on the new layer.

7. Now attach the third layer of vellum. Again, dab some glue on the right (where the third sticker will cover) and attach to your layout.

8. Add your third sticker to the bottom right and the small water splash sticker on the left. If you are worried the vellum is not stuck down well enough, you can always apply more glue behind any of the stickers.

9. Mat your photo, first with blue cardstock and then with Creative Imaginations Stripes paper. Glue to your page above the waves, as shown above.

10. Place the boy on the diving board sticker in the top left corner of your page and the sun sticker in the top right corner.
