These fantastic layouts show you how effective layouts can be at various sizes. In grey we have a 6 x 6 layout, the perfect size for our mini albums. The white layout is a 12 x 12 layout,   and the black plaid is an 8 x 8.

8 x 8 LAYOUT

Making a scrapbooking layout is so satisfying.
But if you’re short on time, or new to scrapbooking, you might be looking for a quick and easy project.
roll through the images below to see how to make a simple layout that captures all of the sparkle of the holidays this Christmas.

This layout was made using an 8×8″/ 20.3 x 20.3cm sheet of white cardstock as a base. Next take a 6×6″ paper from the Hearth + Home 6×6″ Designer Paper Pad and stick to the centre of your cardstock. Take a second sheet of 6×6″ paper and cut to make a 4×4″/ 10.2×10.2cm square. Choose a colour that matches your cardstock sheet. Place this square towards the bottom right-hand corner of your layout. Cut your photo to 3 3/8″ or 8.5cm square, and mount in the centre of the square using foam tape.

The Hearth + Home Foil Puffy Stickers are just so magical. By keeping to black and white paper colours, the gold foil really gets a chance to shine. Start by placing 3 or 4 larger stickers so they extend towards the top left-hand corner of your layout. Then fill in the gaps with smaller stickers.

The green chipboard star picks up the green in the photo, and by choosing a contrasting colour to the rest of the page really makes the sentiment stand out. Again we used foil puffy stickers extending them down to the bottom right hand corner of the page to complete the layout.
