Layout tutorial: Little Yellow Bicycle



I'm back today with another layout using the July kit at My Creative Scrapbook.  This kit featured the Poppy collection from Little Yellow Bicycle and I loved how sunny and happy it is. 



I wanted to spotlight the pretty papers so I cut a few of my favorites in wide strips. I adhered them to white cardstock, leaving some room at the bottom for my title.  I cut the white cardstock approximately 11 x 11 inches, then placed it on another patterned paper for a framed look.  



To break up the strong horizontal lines, I added a curved banner and rounded some of the paper edges. A trio of butterflies helps give the page a sense of movement. 


I tucked a tag under the photo, after first running it through my printer. 



To print directly on the ledger paper from the kit, I cut out a small piece (a bit bigger then I would need for my tag) and adhered it to standard copy paper with washi tape. Then I ran the taped-on ledger paper through my printer.  I removed the washi tape and cut the tag to size, adding a flower at the top. 


Here's another look at the layout.  Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great week.

  5. It's wonderful. I really enjoyed the look at how you put it all together. I wish I could do journaling like that. I used to be able to, but when we got a new printer a few years ago, it jams if anything is more than a single thickness of copy paper. I've tried over and over with a variety of methods and it just won't work. So frustrating.
