Monique’s lovely floral layout has printed die cut flowers in two clusters on corners of her black and white photo, which stands out against all the color. There’s torn paper mats and of course that wonderful stitched quilted pattern on the background with some watercolor added to it. Learn more at the Paige Taylor Evans blog.
The rain showers are coming to help the flowers start blooming and it’s so nice outside, so get out and enjoy this wonderful Springtime weather! Snap some pics of your garden growing and of all the lovely flowers sprouting up this time of year with all their beautiful colors and patterns. Even if you don’t have Spring flowers to scrap about now’s the time to still use floral designs on your layouts for Mother’s Day, Easter, birthdays, graduation or any occasion this time of year. Keep the backgrounds light and the flowers bright or pastel for clean fresh scrapbook designs.
Anke’s stunning design has rows of bubble edged papers in a rainbow of colors cut into a circle to ground the page and pull the eye in. Over top are two photos with lots of layered die cut flowers in colors matching the circle. There’s also butterflies flying about with sewn flutter lines. I spotted her idea at the Hip Kit Club Instagram page.
Jana’s fresh layout includes flowers and fruit in shades of reds and greens with pops of plaid and polka dots. Her wide background border uses different widths of pattern paper and a scalloped edge too. There’s lots of flowers all around, tucked in tags, stitching, a bike, pin wheel and butterflies dies as well. Find all the details at the Simple Stories blog.
Eva’s design is very clean with a white background and thick strips of pattern papers, several with flowers, laid across at an angle, with angled cut edges. She tucked in flower dies and also placed them near the photo with some sentiments, a tiny tag for journaling and a sun. Learn more at the Pinkfresh Studio blog.
Printed word vellum adds a softness over a trendy light teal and pastel pink floral pattern paper on the background of Valeska’s beautiful layout. This travel page also has suitcases, luggage tags, a journal, camera and car, all in a vintage inspired style. That thick pink title with all that dimension really stands out among all the patterns! I came across her idea at the Mintay Papers Instagram page.
Nothing says Spring like rainbows and flowers! Kylie created her own rainbows with layers of cut concentric stacked circles, cut in half, so clever! There’s a scalloped border and several layered flowers with gems in the centers. The woodgrain backdrop gives a nice hard balance to all the sweetness. Find more info at the Paper Sweetpea blog.
Emma’s beautiful Bluebells layout uses trendy faux postage stamps and tickets to create her own custom background. Some she adhered flat and others with foam tape for dimension, leaving a wide border of background pattern paper and a place for the title. Butterflies add a nice movement to the design too. Take a closer peek at the Hey Little Magpie blog.
Andrea’s mostly monochromatic purple layout has lots of wild flowers and lilacs in a stunning quilted design. She cut floral pattern papers into triangle, stitching around the edges of each one. Her black and white photos don’t clash with all the prints and colors and she’s included some strips for journaling and sentiments. Watch her process video at the Scrapbook and Cards Today blog.
Paije’s sweet layout looks like a pie cut into wedges, with each section being a photo with a brown background that helps the pics shine. All around the edges of the circle she added cut little insects and flowers and curved the word “Spring”. Take a closer look at the Mosaic Moments blog.
Tanya’s layout has lots of vintage romance and soft pastels with background paper that does most of the work with a printed border and floral clusters. She added additional stenciling and more flowers, butterflies, bows, crown and a cake for a sweet Spring birthday idea. Watch her process video at the Graphic 45 blog.
Robin used lots of chipboard element on this darling design which she painted in greens and pinks to compliment the blues in the background. She mixed in fabric flowers with the berries and stems as well as a thick chipboard title painted grey for added dimension. I came across her layout on the 2 Crafty Chipboard Instagram page.
