Themes, layouts and inspirations
Like me, I bet you have loads and loads of pattern paper scraps laying around. I hate to throw them away and I do try to use them but they still seem to pile up and I’m always looking for more ideas for them. Maggie Holmes created this lovely layout with pattern paper scraps she had. By die cutting lots and lots of flowers from papers in the same color family she designed a beautiful floral wreath to go around her photo.

How fabulous is this Back to School layout from Margie!? Using soft pastel pattern papers with basic shapes on them she has a double layered background but the star of the show is the large shaker element surrounded by colored pencils. She fussy cut rows of the pencils from pattern paper, curving and slightly overlapping them to form the outer circle. Inside is a circle of thin foam tape for the edges of the shaker, filled with lots of small buttons and covered with clear acetate. She backed the photo with more pattern paper, cutting a zig zag edge and used die cut letters and printed circles for the title.
