This scrapbook ideas page only consists of two 12×12 scrapbook pages, some scrap paper, ribbon and a few brads. It is probably one of the most simple scrapbook layout ideas I have created in a long time.

The page was created using the pink 12×12 scrapbook paper as the background, and a second sheet was then torn and placed over the top, at the bottom of the scrapbook page.

The photos on this scrapbooking layout have not been mounted or changed in any way, and they have simply been stuck to the page at various angles using double sided tape.

Before the second sheet of paper was stuck down I made some tags out of scraps of paper that matched what had already been used. These tags were cut from a sizzix die cutting machine.

Small eyelets have been placed in the top corners of the tags to ensure that the ribbon does not tear through the holes. The ribbon and fibres used are scraps from my scrapbooking supplies. They have been selected because the colours work really well with the background papers.

Once the tags have been tucked in place I used sticky dots to secure the second sheet of scrapbook paper in place.

Because the bottom section of this scrapbook layout looked a little bare I then placed some of the fibres randomly onto the page. To hold it in place I made small slits in the scrapbook paper, passed the fibres through the slits at each end, and tied them together on the other side of the scrapbook paper.

The scrapbook quotes used on this particular scrapbook layout have been purchased from a craft shop. You will probably find you have hundreds of these laying around in your scrapbooking supplies, so dig deep and see what you can find before going and spending your hard earned cash. If there is nothing there that is related to the photos you are using then you can always make your own by using peel off stickers or even printing them yourself.

To finish off the page a small piece of ribbon has been passed through some slits that have been made using a scalpel and a brad has been placed at the end.

To anyone that is new to scrapbooking and creating scrapbook page layouts always remember that any paper or product you use need to be acid and lignin free. This will maximise the quality and also make all your scrapbook pages last much longer without causing deterioration in years to come.

When you are looking for cheap and cheerful ideas for scrapbook pages always make sure you look at what you have in your scrapbooking supplies first as you will be amazed at what you accumulate through the years.
