Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop.

The theme this month is: Blind Scrapping.

The theme for this month has been decided by the talented Courtenay Heuston.

Did you know that Blind Scrapbooking is using written instructions to make a scrapbook layout? Oh and by the way there are no pictures/images for you to follow.

I have never done a scrapbook layout this way but as you all know sometimes we just need to try something outside of our comfort zone and learn a new technique or way of doing something.

Using Written instructions to make a Scrapbook Layout

How to make the scrapbook layout

• Ink and or stamp around the edges of your cardstock
• Using pattern piece 1 doodle around the edges then place on your layout about halfway down and across the middle of your base piece.
• Using your 2 other pieces of Designer Series Paper doodle or stamp around the edges. Lay your largest piece approx one inch from the left hand edge vertically on the base. Lay the second piece on top of this piece but about 2 inches from the left hand edge.
• Matt photo with thin boarder on cardstock or Designer Series Paper
• Place photo approx 3 inches from left
• Cut decorative edged shape in half – add this so it sits just below your photo
• Make title using some large letters ad to right hand side of photo on Designer Series Paper strip
• Add a tag with the date to the top left of your photo – this should be a little over your photo
• Wrap your twine into a double or triple loop add to page at bottom right of photo
• Add a cluster of your embellishments on the bottom right incorporating the twine and over the corner of your photo.
• Add a couple of smaller embellishments to the left of your photo then add one larger embellishment to the top right of your page for balance.
• Add some journalled details in the lower right 1/4 of your page.
