I love thinking up simple scrapbook layout ideas that contain photographs of memories I have had with my family and friends. However sometimes it does make a nice change to create a few simple scrapbook layout ideas using floral or animal photographs.

These day most of us will have a camera in our hand bags, or at least on our mobile phones, so next time your out and about try and take a few snaps that do not include people.

As you can see, this scrapbook page idea is all about butterflies and flowers. Despite the page looking extremely filled and busy it actually contains very few scrapbook embellishments and accessories and is extremely simple scrapbook page to make.

The background is 12×12 orange bazzill card stock. The four photographs have been placed in each corner of the scrapbooking page using double sided tape.

These days there is easy access to reprint pictures, and therefore permanently sticking them to the page is not so much of a problem. However if you did want to re use your photos, you should use a non permanent tape such as vellum tape which will hold the photos in place. Using Vellum tape whilst holding your photos in place also allows you to remove your photos if you later want to use them elsewhere, update the page or simply reposition them on the page, by simple rubbing the tape off the back of the photo.

The butterfly and flower that have been placed in the centre of the page are blown up images that have been cut out and attached to the page using 3D foam. This makes them stand out from the other photographs.

The journaling on this simple scrapbook page layout has been placed in the centre of the page in between the photographs and either side of the 3D butterfly.

The journaling consists of information about where and when the photographs were taken. It is always nice to add in some personal thoughts about how you felt when the photographs were taken, as this can really set the mood of the scrapbook page.

The small purple flowers have simply been created using a small punch and purple card.

Several of these flowers have been punched out and randomly placed all along the bottom of the scrapbook page. An acid free pen was then used to draw around the flower and a different pen was used to colour it in.
