This scrapbooking page idea was actually created for a member of the family who was lucky enough to visit the Leaning tower of Pisa.
I always find when creating a scrapbooking page layout for someone other than myself I never know what colors or designs to go for. It is hard to know exactly what other people’s styles are so I would always recommend you stick with just a few colors and try not to make the page too busy.
Starting with a 12 x 12 sheet of yellow styled paper meant that only a few scrapbooking embellishments would need to be used.
The focal point here is clearly the photos of the tower. The photograph has been mounted onto a darker yellow card and some journaling has been done around the edge of the picture.
Journaling is an essential aspect of scrapbooking because it gives the person who is looking at the scrapbook page layout information about where and when the picture was taken. It is also a great way for you to remember dates and thoughts in years to come.
When writing on any scrapbook pages always use pens that have been designed for the job, whispers ink pens are my favorite as they are not only great for writing but can be used in many other ways such as coloring, painting, inking stamps etc.
You can also purchase scrapbook pens that can be used for writing on the photo itself as well as any paper or card you are using.
The design has been scored so that the pictures can slide behind the pattern slightly, this has been done using a really sharp scalpel.
A stencil has been used to draw round the letters for the word ‘Pisa’ which has been cut from brown Bazzil Card . It is always nice to use a stencil as it gives the letters a more professional look. You can get word templates and stencils many different fonts.
Another idea is to print the wording from a computer and then cut the words out.
The words have been decorated with small flowers, these have been stamped using a very small flower stamp that has been inked with white ink.
To raise the letter from the scrapbook page slightly 3D foam pads have been used to position them.
The month has also been added to the bottom of the page as a reminder of when the photos have been taken. Again, a scrapbook pen has been used however peel off scrapbook stickers would work just as well here.
Your scrapbooking layout ideas depicting famous landmarks are not only interesting for you to remember but also have great value to anyone with an interest in the place you are visiting so try to add some interesting journaling accordingly.
