Scrapbook How To: Beginner Scrapbook Page

Resized Image
Items Needed:
  1. (2) 12x12 Polka Dot Scrapbook Page (Yellow and Pink)
  2. Cardstock – Pink, White and Yellow
  3. Pink Adhesive Buttons (We use Button Studio Adhesive Buttons: Round 20 in pink.)
  4. Paper Cutter (We use Fiskars 9698 Euro 12-Inch Portable Paper Trimmer .)
  5. Journaling Tag
  6. Adhesive (We use Pritt Double-Stick Adhesive Roller Dispenser, 0.33-Inch by 551-Inch Permanent.)
This is a scrapbook page put together by my mom. She love creating two-page layout to incorporate more pictures. Personally two-page layouts aren’t my “style” I’d rather make one page layouts; I like to focus my energy on one thing at a time. Never the less, this is an extremely cute scrapbook page layout for beginners, but doesn’t look like a beginner made it. Another great thing about this layout is that there are so many different pictures you can place on this page: girl baby showers, baby girl, sleepover, fun night with the girls ….. I think you get the picture, pretty much ANYTHING girly. At the top of the two-page layout is a title boarder that looks as if it is stretched across both pages continuously. This allows you to place one title across both pages or have separate titles. You can also title one page and add a journal entry in the opposite border, mementos from the event or cute stamped images.
I’m not sure who the background is by, but polka dots are popular and found in many different colors giving you more options.  The cardstock used is regular cardstock and can be purchased in Wausau Creative Collection Classics Specialty Cardstock Starter Kit, 12 X 12 Inches, 72 Count (46408). For scrapbooking enthusiasts who can’t buy in bulk, most craft stores sell cardstock sheets individually, but it’s worth the upfront cost to buy in bulk in a package that has multiple colors that will be used in the long run.
The embellishments are pink adhesive buttons made by Button Ups and the tag is a journaling tag made by Paper Bliss. Hope you enjoyed reading about this layout as much as mom did creating it …. or hopefully, at the least, gave you an idea for your own scrapbook layout. Now get organized and start scrapping those memories. Jessica and Brenda (A.K.A “Mom”)
