This scrapbook page idea is really effective and looks really good even though it only consists of only two colors, green and black.

Sometimes using less really is more and this is definitely the case here. The reason green and black have been chosen is because the photographs are taken outside and show a lot of grass. Therefore the green works really well and the black stands out.

A special type of card has been used here, and it is called coredinations. It is a specialist card stock that changes color when you mark the surface. It is really versatile and can be used for so many different things including tearing it, sanding it, and embossing.

Each sheet has a tab underneath labeled ‘core color’ this will represent the interior color of the card. By sanding, or embossing the card you will bring the core color to the surface as shown in the above picture.

This scrapbooking page layout consists of two pieces of 12 x 12 coredinations card, the green being the base and the black has been ripped and then secured on top of the green down one side.

Incorporating coredinations card into your ideas for scrapbook pages is a little bit different and gives a really nice effect.

The photographs have been mounted onto the coredinations card which has been ripped around the edges to show the core color.

The embellishments on this scrapbooking page layout have been purchased from a craft store and then colored in by hand. You can use pens, pencils, paints, gel pens to color these embellishments in.

This embellishment also contains a scrapbook quote ‘snips and snails & puppy dog tails’ which is very fitting because the photographs are of a young boy playing in the garden.

This photo has been mounted onto a piece of bazzill card. Although in this case it has been mounted flat you may want to consider using 3D foam to raise the picture up.

Your ideas for scrapbook pages do not have to be overly complex or take forever to design in order to produce some very nice layouts.
