Themes, layouts and inspirations
When stuck for a scrapbook layout design try going back to the basics with simple shapes like circles and squares. This layout from Laura is anything but basic though with lots of pattern paper circles scattered around this fun summer page. Notice how she has most of the circles and photos on one side of the layout, this “off balance” adds lots of interest.

Book Nooks have been popular for awhile now, these are fun little spaces to sperate books and add some color and even light to your book shelf, think of them as 3D book ends. There’s lots of companies selling kits you can put together, you can design and create your own or use die cutting patterns like the one for this amazing Harry Potter themed Book Nook. Designed by Miss Mandee this Quidditch themed design has layers with Hogwarts castle in the background, the rings on the Quidditch pitch, witches and wizards on their brooms playing the sport and the famous golden snitch flying around.
I’m a huge Harry Potter fan and have lots of books as well as scrapbooks I’ve made featuring the Wizarding World and I can’t wait to download these FREE SVG cut files and use my Silhouette electronic die cutting machine to make one of these nooks for my own shelf.
You can get them too by visiting the Miss Mandee blog.
