Here’s one from JJ Sobey:
A layout by JJ Sobey
I punched circles from the We R Memory Keepers and Basic Grey papers, inked the edges with Distress Ink in “Broken China”, and scattered them across the page to create movement. I added Distress Stickles in “Broken China” and “Peeled Paint” to some of the circles, and the bodies of the butterflies. (I love that the Distress Stickles match the Distress Inks!)”
Now if that layout didn’t wow you, though I’m sure it did … here’s a great layout by Grace Tolman. In this particular layout, Grace managed to get lots of photos on the page, something I struggle with. Lately I’m a one or two photo per page kind of scrapper. When I saw this page, I felt inspired to churn out some pages that are more photo-centric.
Another great layout from Grace
This is what Grace had to say about her layout:
“This page focused on the pictures. I had a lot of them from the event and although they were printed on a smaller scale there were still a lot of them. If you have these kinds of events that one picture is just not enough, go ahead and use as much pictures as you think will convey your story. Don’t be afraid that there’s no room for elements/embellishments. Sometimes, scrapbook pages need to give more room and emphasis to the picture especially if it tells a certain story. If cramming too much pictures onto one layout makes you uneasy, you can always make a two page spread instead.
To make my light blue thickers stand out against the light pattern paper background, I painted red over the paper before adhering the stickers. This makes them pop out more. I also added the stars from the Autumn leaves stitched alphabet sticker sheet. I rubbed them onto white cardstock first, cut them out and adhered them with pop up dots. This created dimension to my page.
I loved the Cosmo Cricket Tuesday paper cause the backside had lines on them already. The perfect paper to use for a journaling block.”
So now that you’ve seen some awesome pages … go forth and scrap!
