Scrapbook Page Ideas - Tulips


Great scrapbook page ideas don't have to be difficult. When your photos are engaging in and of themselves, you really don't need to embellish them very much. A splash of colour, a simple and pretty pattern and a handful of simple embellishments is enough to make your photos shine.

On this page I grouped my photos together in the centre of the page to keep the emphasis on them. I then framed them with some pretty Chatterbox paper (the plain orange is the underside of the floral paper). Then all I needed to add was a title and some simple embellishments.

One thing to note is a technique I often use. I cut out two of the flowers from the patterned paper and used them as embellishments. I did this because I thought they were pretty and deserved some attention, but more importantly because it created a sense of continuity across my page.

Scrapbook Page Ideas - Daisy

This is another scrapbook page idea that I love. Here, I have used 3 Bugs In A Rug paper to show off my pictures of Daisy. I have used the flower patterned paper to create a border across the bottom of the page. I cut it to follow the contour of the flowers inked the edges to help it stand out. I also placed brads in the middle of each flower to help it pop a bit. It is quite a large border and draws a lot of attention to the bottom of the page. To balance it I cut a thin striped border to put across the top of the page. By balancing these visual elements I have put the attention back onto the photos. I hope you like this page. If you have any comments, I'd love to hear them!

Scrapbook Page Ideas - Country Bears


This is one of my recent layouts. I love it because I managed to incorporate so many different scrapbook page ideas into it without taking too long to finish it. My favourite element is the combination of lots of different letters to make up the title. By combining different sizes and fonts I've made the page a little more playful. Almost all of the letters used were alphabet stickers so it was also very fast to create. I hope you like it. I'd love to hear what you think.
