A simple scrapbook page format

simple scrapbook page by shimelle laine @ shimelle.com

It’s September and I’m sharing my Easter scrapbook pages. This is completely fine and normal, right? Just goes to show I really do still love to create with whatever photos and stories inspire me of a particular moment rather than try to get caught up or stick to a calendar.

It’s not really the Easter theme that made me want to share this anyway: it’s just how quickly something can come together with one of those simple page formats we can use time and time again and always get a slightly different look by just having different supplies, different photos, and a different story. This page doesn’t look all that different to something I shared all the way back in 2011:


Except in this case, it’s just the three photos and the journaling card, no extra interactive section and no customising page protectors, so it came together super quickly.

I need to come back and write a proper update on what I’ve learned from my month of doing a bit of Project Life each day, but this was a full page I could finish in about twenty minutes, and that made me very happy indeed.

To keep to that twenty minute time frame, I was really going with the supplies that grabbed my eye first and not stopping to consider a second option. The supplies include Pebbles background paper, Elle’s Studio journaling card, flair badges from American Crafts, Evalicious, and Studio Calico, three different Thickers alphabets from American Crafts, tapes from KI Memories (text), Bella Blvd (dots), and American Crafts (glitter), large scallop border punch from EK Success, plus the True Stories sticker book and the 6×6 paper from the original Shimelle collection, both from AC.

If you have a favourite simple format you return to often, please share! We all have days we long for a finished page in twenty minutes, right?
