Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop
The theme this month is:
The theme for this month has been decided by the talented Tina Parson.
This month I have decided to make my scrapbook layout based on a sampler layout but make it fit a 12×12 page layout. I have not made a scrapbook page using a 9 square sampler layout for a while. These make doing a scrapbook layout so easy and it is very quick to do.
Since last December I have wanted to scrapbook a game my husband and I play with our granddaughter. I have a Christmas Elf that we hide around the house and our granddaughter has to see if she can find him. Then when she finds him we have to take a photograph of where he is hiding with her baby unicorn. On Christmas Eve we had both grandchildren and my grandson joined in. This December he will enjoy it much more as he will be 3 years old.
How I made my scrapbook layout based on a sampler layout – page 1
I started with a 12″ x 12″ piece of Garden Green card stock. Next I cut out 6 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ pieces of Take a Bow designer series paper. I then cut a 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ piece of Real Red card stock and a 7 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ piece of Real Red card stock. Next I stuck these onto my Garden Green 12″ x 12″ piece of card stock.
How to do the Title and Journaling on my scrapbook layout based on a sampler layout.
I decided that I would do my title and journaling on the same mat layer. First I cut a 7 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ piece of Basic White card stock and then I cut it diagonally to make a triangle. I wrote my journaling onto the Basic White triangle using a Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker. Next I stuck this triangle onto my Title/Journaling mat layer. I then stamped the ‘Festive Memories’ onto a piece of Basic White card stock using Garden Green ink. Next I fussy cut it out before sticking it onto the Real Red mat layer across the top.
For my question ‘Where is he?’ I die cut out the letters out of Garden Green card stock using the Mini Alphabet dies. Next I cut a 3 1/8″ x 3 1/8″ piece of Basic White card stock and stuck the letters onto it before sticking it onto the Real Red mat layer.
Finally I added my photographs to the mat layers.

So again I used a 12″ x 12″ piece of Garden Green card stock. I then die cut 8 more 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ pieces of Take a Bow designer series paper and a 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ piece of Real Red card stock. These I stuck onto the Basic Green card stock. For the question box I cut a 3 1/8″ x 3 1/8″ piece of Basic White card stock. Again I die cut the letters for ‘Here he is!’ out of Garden Green card stock using the Mini Alphabet dies. Once I have stuck them on I stuck the Basic White mat layer onto the Real Red mat layer.
Finally I added my photographs to the mat layer.
I really enjoyed making these 2 scrapbook layouts based on a sampler layout. It was really easy to do and of course you can join 2 squares together to make a rectangle. You can also move the squares around to make other layouts.
Until next time, keep stampin n crafting,
