Sledding Scrapbook Page
Design by Melissa Inman
Melissa created balance in her layout by adding strips of paper to both sides of her two-page design. She added three arrows to guide the eye, keeping them all in solid green tones to pop off the patterned paper.
Editor's Tip: For fun lettering, add patterned paper to closed off space in letters, such as Melissa did with the "g" and the "o."
Simple Shoveling Winter Scrapbook Page
Design by Renee Foss
Renee created a block with her four smaller photos and balanced it with a larger shot. She kept the page simple, adding just a bit of patterned paper on top of a solid background.
Big Pic Winter Scrapbook Page
Design by Susan Weinroth
Susan created her title in the circle with stickers and letter brads. She positioned smaller circles along the top of the photo and centered red brads on the smallest circles. Her funny photo takes center stage in the middle of the page.
Family Gathering Winter Scrapbook Page
Design by Candi Gershon
Candi grouped multiple photos at the bottom of her layout and balanced them with a large title and journaling block above. She added extra emphasis to the title and journaling by curving the edges of the paper underneath.
Snow Fun Scrapbook Page
Design by Erica Hernandez
A craft knife helped Erica handle the thin spaces and smooth the curves of this penguin, which makes a cute addition to her page about winter fun. Erica brought cohesion to the layout by letting the sled and the penguin's scarf overlap her photo. Using colors from the scarf, Erica choose solid color paper to block off different sections of the page.
Serious Sledding Layout
Design by Shannon Zickel
Give your layouts some a cool factor by spraying ink along the bottom edges of the pages. The technique works on any color background, even kraft. Here, it gives the page a "frosty" effect. Chipboard snowflakes get a festive update with patterned paper.
Sledding Fun Layout
Design by Pam Callaghan
For this fun sledding scrapbook page, Pam grouped several photos in a large block for a big emphasis in the center of her layout. She curved the edges of the patterned paper and the photos to add movement to the page.
Editor's Tip: Create a title that mirrors the action in your photos. Pam lined up her letter stickers along the bottom edges of staggered supporting photos to play up the downhill action.
Snowboarding Layout
Design by Paula Murakami
The patterned paper Paula chose for this snowboarding scrapbook page immediately reminded her of snow and helped her pick a colour scheme for the page. Converting photos to black-and-white allowed her to use any colors she wanted, so she chose frosty hues that play up the winter theme.
Editor's Tip: Use seasonal shapes to further drive home your theme. Paula used snowflakes in several spots on her page, including the one that subs for the letter "o" in her title.
Snow Tubing Layout
Design by Annette Pixley
Annette's inner tube sledding pictures mark a trip to Mt. Hood with her son. She matted her photos with colorful cardstock to make the mostly white winter sports images pop off the page, and she mixed rub-on phrases with her journaling to help highlight certain words and emphasize the winter theme.
Editor's Tip: Recycle for low-cost embellishments. Annette placed her title on a cloud cut from a magazine advertisement. Just remember, not all found objects are safe for scrapbooks. Keep questionable items away from one-of-a-kind photos or treat with deacidification sprays to be safe.
Snowboard Outing Layout
Design by Angie Cramer
Angie snapped these winter sports photos of her son Ryan on a snowboarding outing. Angie chose the layout colors--black, gray, and red--from her son's winter gear, pulling the entire page together.
Editor's Tip: Be creative with your title. Angie stamped "snowboarding" as well as snowflake patterns onto three round metal-rim tags, then strung the tags together with fibers to make a vertical title.
