Scrapbook tutorial 1
Sue from the forum loves to scrapbook and is encouraging us all to have a go, and so she has written this lovely tutorial to get get us started. This layout is 8 inches square and the photos 6 X 4, all measurements are in inches
You will need: a photo 6 X 4 (landscape) 3 co-ordinating patterned papers (PP) 2/3 matching blooms to layer matching brads letters for title - stickers, printed or maybe die cut your own - it will ALL work leaf punch - optional corner punch - optional glitter - optional Now you need to Cut your PP 8 X 8"square Cut a second piece of PP into a 7.5 x 1" strip Cut your third piece of PP into a 7 x 3.25" strip If you have a corner rounder - round the corners if not no worries
				Layer your cut pieces onto your background as shown - I use a repositionable adhesive - Herma from Scrap Revolution but any will do.
Use this file change the colour and print cut out the letters for the month you require, and adhere them to a 2" x 1" piece of PP. Round off the corners, then add this tab and the photo to your layout.
				Finally add the title and blooms and brads - I have a leaf punch I used with the blooms - if you do not have one a flourish stamp or a swirl die cut will work just as well. I added glitter onto the blooms as it matched the 'young' in my title - it does say young, cos its blingy you cant read it very well - sorry VOILA a very simple but as I promised FABULOUS LO - why is it FABULOUS cos its yours, and unlike a card you get to keep it.
