Scrapbooking Ideas - Egypt Scrapbook Page Layout

This scrapbook page layouts photos are of someone creating sand art in Egypt. The base of this scrapbooking page layout is a piece of pink 12 x 12 scrapbook paper that has a scalloped edge.

Scalloped edge scrapbook paper may not be something that you have in your craft supplies but it can easily be ordered over the internet or found in any good craft stores. You can also find this card in a variety of different colours.

A darker pink piece of Brazil card has been cut slightly smaller than the scalloped edge paper. Decorative scissors have been used to give it a wavy edge, however you could keep this straight if you prefer.

The base of this scrapbook page has been built up from different pieces of card in different colours cut in various shapes. It is a great way to use up some of your old craft stock and scraps that may be hanging around in your supplies.

You can cut the different papers with different shaped scissors or tear the paper to give it a different look. Inking the edges of paper is also something that that gives the card or paper an alternative look.

The word ‘Sand’ has been made from cardboard letters that have been embossed with a mixture of embossing powders. Embossing is a great way to change the look of a cardboard letter and a really easy way to make colours match and work together.

These letters have been secured to the page using really strong double sided tape because they are quite heavy.

The words Egypt 09 are made from ready made glittered scrapbook stickers, which are really effective and look great on any scrapbook page layouts. Scrapbook stickers come in all different fonts and colours and are very handy and easy to use.

The word ‘art’ has also been made from the same glittered scrapbook stickers.

You may also want to include some journaling to provide more information about what is happening, names of people that were there and a general insight into what is going on in the photos. Try to stick to facts and keep it short so as not to lose the reader attention.

This scrapbooking page is of someone having fun so I have used vibrant exciting colours to make it stand out and look stimulating. Using dull or washed out colours here would simply take away the feel of the day which is clearly about having fun!

When creating your Scrapbooking ideas you should think carefully about which colours you are going to use and make sure you use vibrant coloured scrapbooking paper when the photos reflect exiting and fun occasions.
