I often find it hard to scrap photos I have taken of my boys with their classmates at school events. The photos are often busy with kids wearing “clashing” clothing against a backdrop of classroom decorations and childrens’ artwork. The new “Making the Grade” line by Little Yellow Bicycle made working with “busy” photos effortless. I especially loved the Alpha Block paper that seemed to incorporated EVERY color in my photos. When paired with the neutral Bookshelf paper, I ended up with a fun, clean layout.<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Start with sheet of LYB – Making the Grade – Alpha Block\/Red Stripe Cardstock for your base.<\/li>\n
  2. Trimming the “book shelf” portion off of the paper, trim LYB – Making the Grade – Bookshelf\/Blue Solid Cardstock down to 11×11 and adhere to center of base.<\/li>\n
  3. Cut sheet of LYB – Making the Grade – New Notebook\/Blue Fun Dot Cardstock (notebook side) down to 4×10-1\/2. Use notebook edge border punch down left hand side and round corners on right side. Adhere as shown.<\/li>\n
  4. Add 3\/4×10-3\/4 strip of LYB – Making the Grade – New Notebook\/Blue Fun Dot Cardstock (blue side) just inside of left edge of “notebook” paper.<\/li>\n
  5. Mat two 4×6 photos individually on LYB – Making the Grade – Cut Here\/Yellow Stripe Cardstock and adhere slightly overlapping “notebook” paper.<\/li>\n
  6. Add “Best Friends” journaling card from LYB – Making the Grade – Tear-Out Ticket and Journaling Card Book in upper right corner.<\/li>\n
  7. Complete layout with a title in lower right corner.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
