Opening Weekend Layout

Opening Weekend for baseball is always filled with fun festivities (and lots of pictures to scrapbook) and Amy was able to create this 2-page layout using plenty of her photos.

1. I started with two sheets of white cardstock for the base of my 2-page layout.
2. Next, I trimmed my photos but kept them all at three different heights to work in a grid-like format.
3. Before adhering my photos, I positioned them into a rectangle shape keeping then in the center of my layout. I cut pieces of yellow cardstock to fill in the gaps between my photos.
4. I took my sheet of American Crafts – Junior Varnish We’re #1 Paper and trimmed it down ¼” smaller than each piece of yellow cardstock on two sides before adhering it to the yellow cardstock pieces for my layout.
5. I adhered my photos and matted patterned paper pieces leaving common margins between them all.
6. I positioned my title using Thickers – Chipboard Letterman – Mustard and Thickers – Chipboard Letterman – Emerald in the lower left hand corner of the layout. I substituted a baseball from American Crafts – Junior Treehouse Printed Chipboard Pieces for the “o” in “Opening.”
7. I cut a circle mat from the yellow cardstock and positioned my journaling card from the MLYB – Say What? Journal Tablets – Sports and positioned it in the lower right hand corner of the layout overlapping a photo.
8. I added the date to one patterned paper mat using Thickers – Chipboard Letterman – Mustard and also a trophy accent from American Crafts – Junior Treehouse Printed Chipboard Pieces.
9. To complete the page, I drew a border around everything.
