Scrapbooking Starting Point :: You Can Count on the Girls

Scrapbooking Starting Point
scrapbooking starting point
I snagged a Studio Calico kit from a friend this month as a special treat, so I could start cutting and pasting with the new Storyteller collection from Crate Paper. Perfect for a starting point!

For this starting point, choose a 12×12 single-coloured patterned paper for the background, then cut a 4×12 strip of a double-sided paper. From that, use a border punch and cut that strip apart – so the designs from both sides of the paper are on show on the left side of the page. Then a box just slightly smaller than 6×6 (I picked something with lines here so I could use that for the writing, but in the end I placed it elsewhere) and a die-cut or something cut from patterned paper. Then the rest is up to you!

Hmm… I should photograph this again in the daylight tomorrow! But here’s my finished version, with two 4×6 photos a few more die-cuts (Crate and October Afternoon) and letter stickers (My Little Shoebox, Sassafras and Amy Tangerine).

    I attached my layout but it did not show properly so I deleted it. Don’t know what the problem is.
    Anyway love the starting point and my page turned out great. Thanks.

    The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.

  8. Soccer Players Says:

    It’s an interesting story. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me. Do you need to read responsive essay example? Writing a response essay might be easy but only in case, you have outstanding analytical and critical skills as well as good command of academic English.
