Scrapbook Layout Ideas - Little Girl In The Garden

This scrapbook page layout is of a little girl in a garden. If you say the word ‘garden’ you automatically think green because of the grass and plants that would be in a typical garden. So here a green background has been used for this scrapbooking page idea.

The base scrapbook paper is 12 x 12 in size.

The strip of paper which runs down the left hand edge of the scrapbook page has been cut from a separate scrapbook page and attached to the edge using double sided tape. The colours work well with the green as the stripes also have green in them so there is a synergy with the base colour.

The photo has been mounted on pink floral paper and the corners have been cut to slot and hold it in place. This is a great way of attaching your pictures to a scrapbook page without using adhesives or other materials that may damage a photograph. Furthermore it allows you to easily update your scrapbook page layout by replacing the photo with another.

A sticker has also been attached to the photo for added effect to make it look like it is holding the picture in place.

As with all scrapbook pages it is always a good idea to set the scene by adding some journaling or a scrapbook quote in this case the words ‘bloom where you are planted’ have been placed onto the page. The wording is a pre made scrapbook sticker, which you can purchase from any good craft store if you do not have any suitable scrapbook stickers in your craft supplies.

The letter K has been cut from matching scrapbook paper and is personal to the page because it is the first initial of the little girl. Some journaling has also been hand written onto the ‘K’ in order that the, date and place where the picture was taken can be remembered.

Scrapbook stickers have been placed down the edge of this scrapbooking page layout. Before applying these to the page a small amount of glitter has been applied to the scrapbook stickers to make them look a bit more glitzy, and luxurious. You can easily jazz up your paper, scrapbook stickers, photos, and other craft stock by simply adding in a small amount of glitter.

These stickers have been attached to the page using a strong acid and lignin free adhesive.

Another way of creating a different looking edge is to emboss. Embossing powders come in so many different colours you will have no problem finding a colour that matches your scrapbook page layouts.
