Summer Time Layout

Scrapbook And Cards Today | Scrapbook&CardsToday

Happy Summer, everyone! Stacy Cohen here with you today. Are you a 1-page scrapper or a 2-page scrapper? Maybe you’re like me and you do both. I usually prefer to create single page layouts, but sometimes I have a lot of photos or a longer story to tell, and a 2-page spread is warranted. For me, 2-pagers can be a little more challenging design-wise. Sometimes when I’m feeling creatively stumped, I’ll pull design inspiration from 1-page layouts. Often the single page designs can be stretched and/or turned to fit beautifully on a double spread! Below is an example.

Here is a summer layout I created with the brand new gorgeous and jam-packed SCT Delivered Summer “Picnic in the Park” Layout Kit (available to order now!)

To modify this design for a double page layout, I simply rotated the design counterclockwise 90 degrees, stretched out the paper strip rows, and added more photos.

I had fun creating the column of colorful paper strips with coordinating embellishments on the first layout, so I created a somewhat different version of this design idea on my second layout. On both layouts I used 3D adhesive on every other paper strip to create dimension.
