Scrapbook Page Challenge: Creative Grandkids Scrapbook Layout

100_0982 (300x225)
My scrapbook page theme for this week’s challenge had to do with grandkids. I also had to incorporate three out of four other choices that included: the colors orange and yellow, Sizzix die cuts and Martha Stewart products. To read more about how we came up with this challenge read more here.

This challenge, believe it or not, was actually a challenge for me. It wasn’t difficult because of the items I had to incorporate different elements into the page, but because I had to follow rules for what I used. I like to think outside the box and the fact that I had guidelines to follow made it challenging. You can also view Mom’s challenge scrapbook layout for her beach theme here.

Items Needed:
  1.  Making Memories Black Gingham Paper
  2. Bo Bunny 12x12 Specialty Paper-Sunflower Fun 
  3. Sizzix 655268 Big Shot Cutting-and-Embossing Roller-Style Machine 
  4. Sizzix Picket Fence Die Cut
  5. Making Memories Ledger Paper
  6. Bo Bunny Cardstock Stickers - Grandparents
  7. Fiskars 9698 Euro 12-Inch Portable Paper Trimmer



How I Created This Page:

The background of the page is a splice between two different patterned pages. The sunflower background is by Bo Bunny called Tuscany Garden and the black and white piece is Black Gingham by Making Memories. The yellow background for the pictures is a piece of 8 1/2” mustard colored piece of cardstock trimmed down slightly using a Fiskars Paper Cutter. The journal section in the lower right-hand corner of the page is a piece I cut out from a 12x12” scrapbook page by Making Memories called Ledger Combo. This page features several different ledgers on a background that you can keep as one background or cut each one out individually to use on several pages.

The white picket fence at the bottom edge of the page is a Sizzix die cut called Picket Fence. There are four stickers used on the page, three that look like bullets on the left of the top picture and one large sticker with a quote about grandparents. I used these stickers to incorporate the orange color on my page. The stickers are embellished in the center with random buttons. The stickers are Grandparent stickers made by Bo Bunny.
