Mother Scrapbooking Layouts

This mother scrapbooking layouts were done using the Basic Grey Blush line of paper. Basic Grey always has some patterned paper that has large designs on the corners that can be cut out freehand and used as embellishments. That is what I did here.

• 1) Start with patterned flower base for left and right page. Right Page:

• 2) About 1/4" from the top of the page, place a 2" strip of cardstock. Mat your pictures in coordinating color cardstock.

• 3) Using another pattern paper, rip a 2" x 12" piece off and glue to the bottom of the page. Rip a 6" x 5" piece of the same paper and glue to the top right corner.

• 4) Cut out the design from the left side and right side of the designed paper and place the one cut from the left side on the bottom right corner and the one cut from the right side to the top right corner.

• 5) Tie a piece of fiber around an antique key (I got mine in a lot off of eBay). Stamp "to" in mini tag stickers with black ink and adhere glitter letters (Me and My Big Ideas) for "my". I just cut the heart out of cardstock and popped it up with foam squares.

• 6) Place your matted picture over the top and glue down.

  Left page:

• 7) Tear another 2" x 12" piece of matching cardstock and adhere to the bottom of the page.

• 8) Mat two pictures with two coordinating cardstocks.

• 9) Cut another design from the corner of a patterned cardstock and glue to the top right of the page.

• 10) Attach your matted pictures.

• 11) I made a tag for my journaling using a 3" x 4" piece of white cardstock, folding the edges over and snipping both at the same time. I punched a hole through the top and tied it with matching fibers. I then journaled and tucked it under the paper strip at the bottom.
