Since we started the new Facebook
page Niles Scrap Addicts, I have thought about a challenge to keep us creative and
crafting. Then I started to think about our last retreat where we each started
to think about making an album about us. Not just pictures we take but of who
we are and what we like.
Every other week I will have
a challenge on here encouraging you to make a page about you. I’ll give you the
page theme. The in between weeks, I will have a layout idea for you that you
can use to make the page.
Since I use Close To My Heart’s layout books, I will make sure to reference the book and layout. However,
this first one I don’t have a reference for. I was shown it at a retreat
earlier this year and I love it!
All you need is your base
cardstock ( I normally used white or cream) 1 piece solid cardstock and one
piece of patterned paper to make this double page layout.
Cut your solid cardstock: 3 ½”
x 12” (twice) and 1 ½” x 12” (twice)
Cut your patterned paper: 2 ½”
x 10 ½” (twice) and 1” x 12” (twice)
Place the 3 ½ x 12 up to the
bottom of both pages.
Place the 1 ½ x 12 up to the
top of both pages.
Place the 2 1/2 x 10 ½ to the
right edge of page 1 a 1/2” from the bottom of the page, on page 2, line it up
to the left edge a ½” from the top of the page.
Place the 2 1/2 x 10 ½ to the
right edge of page 1 a 1/2” from the bottom of the page, on page 2, line it up
to the left edge a ½” from the top of the page.
From here, you can ad
whatever size pictures and however many pictures you want, some embellishments and a title. You can also turn
the layout to make it alittle different. Below are a few pages I have completed
with this layout
Your challenge this week is to use this layout with pictures. You choose the sizes, the colors etc. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!
