Designer Gaye Sgamboti was so inspired by a colorful, cheery greeting card, she decided to borrow the design for a special scrapbook page. Materials: Four complementary colors of cardstock
Various patterned papers to match
White vellum
Pencil
Ruler or paper trimmer
Computer and printer for title
Small sun punch
Adhesive
- Begin by sectioning the background page, using a paper trimmer (without the blade) or ruler -- and pencil -- for accuracy (figure A). Tip: Using the paper trimmer, instead of just a ruler, allows for precise paper placement -- the paper can be placed against the guides. Make each row the same height and each column the same width to create a grid.
- Then, measure the dimensions of each square and record in the center of each (figure B).
- Cut rectangles from a variety of patterned and solid paper, with dimensions 1/4" smaller than the corresponding grid square on the page.
- Adhere blocks to corresponding grid squares, mixing placement of colors and patterns (figure C). Erase all visible pencil lines.
- Next, print title on vellum. Adhere to upper left side of page, placing glue strategically. Adhere small, cheerful die-cuts (figure D) or stickers to hide any adhesive that shows through the vellum.
