The Ones I Love: Layout Tutorial

By Brandie Valenzuela
Design Team Member





Pages of the Heart Design Team members were challenged to do a layout based upon people they love. While I have many people I love, I found the challenge to be a difficult one. How would I include everyone I loved in one layout? Should I even try to include everyone? And if I do, how do I design the page?

It is fairly typical of me to over-analyze a scrapbook challenge. So, while scrapbooking one night, I made the decision -- I would scrapbook about three of the most important people in my life: my children. Here is my page about the ones I love.

Supplies:

Two sheets red cardstock (12x12)
Two sheets yellow cardstock (12x12)
One sheet mustard cardstock (12x12)
One sheet 7 Gypsies pattern paper
Creative Imaginations David Walker letter stickers
Creative Imaginations Wordz stickers by Danelle Johnson (LOVE)
Nostalgiliques by Rebecca Sower tea stained tag letter stickers
Layout Instructions:

1. Trim 1/4" from all edges of the yellow cardstock. Evenly mount onto red cardstock.

2. Cut a piece of 7 Gypsies paper that measures approximately 4" x 12". Mount on the right side of the yellow cardstock, letting only a small amount of red show on the right side.

3. Cut a piece of 7 Gypsies paper that measures 5.5" x 4.75". Mount in upper left corner of layout.

4. Mat three 4x6" photos on the mustard colored cardstock. Adhere as shown.

5. From a corner of your second sheet of red cardstock, tear off a piece and adhere in upper right corner of layout. From leftover piece of mustard cardstock, tear off a corner (smaller in size than the red piece) and adhere on top of red torn corner.

6. From leftover piece of 7 Gypsies paper, tear off a corner that will be placed in the lower left of the layout, covering a portion of the bottom photo. Tuck a small leftover piece of the 7 Gypsies paper and the mustard paper behind the bottom photo.

7. Mount letter stickers that spell "the" on a piece of yellow cardstock and then mat this piece on red with torn edges. Mount the capital letter "I" on red, tear edges, and then mount on yellow. Mat the "LOVE" sticker on yellow cardstock.

8. Trim a rectangle piece of mustard cardstock that measures 2.75" x 4.75". Tear off about 1/4" of the right side of this piece. Adhere the title as shown in the layout.
