It’s genuinely easy to find scrapbook themes for Summer. Beach and sunshine themes are common, so why not choose something a little different. 1. Butterflies. This is my bestloved theme of all because I love butterflies and have a big number of butterfly stamps in all shapes and sizes. It’s easy to make genuinely stunning butterfly ornamentations by stamping onto paper and cutting out the result, then coloring with sukura embossing glaze pens and adding a little glitter. You may make a lovely background by stamping butterflies onto background card, but my bestloved is a background paper with one or two huge flowers. I may position my pictures on vellum mattes and then add one or two butterflies perched on the flower petals. It’s easy to make the butterflies tone with the colors in your photographs, never forget that the pictures are the most essential percentage of the layout. Don’t be carried away with the ebullience or theme, if it doesn’t make the pictures look good, forget it. 2. Fruit. A extremely pleasing theme which is full of color and great if you haven’t genuinely gone away for a summer holiday. Choose from a simple black or white page fancified with photographs and accented with bright fruit stickers, or a bright fruit themed background paper with pictures mounted on rectangles of velum to provide a great deal of contrast. Huge fruit or vegetable die cuts are easy to find, oranges and apples make outstanding mattes for photographs, or you may merely decorate photo frames with little fruit themed stickers. Either way you’ll have a very colorful layout. 3. Indiana Jones. Give your pages a 20′s or 30′s look. Decorate with travel themed items or ancient artifacts of mystical origin. This is a extremely pleasing theme if you traveled to someplace historic, or perhaps you’ve caught some pictures of the kids ‘pretending’ as they discover far off lands? If you can’t find a themed background paper go looking for suitable rubber stamps. Start out with galore off white, cream or ivory card and numerous distress ink in dark red or brown, though black will just in regards to do. One of the most effective stamps to use is one of a post mark or a post card. Stamp all over the background just to give numerous interest. If you may find leather look paper, that makes a outstanding border for this type of page. Buy one sheet and divide into thirds. One fills the bottom third of your left page and one the bottom third of your right page. The last third may be folded in half and employed to provide a matte of journaling tags. Add a map of your journey. If your pictures are of the kids playing in your garden, get them to make a map and add it to your page. This is a very masculine layout so make sure your pictures are square or rectangular and if you may add some accents, an Indiana Jones style hat or whip would be ideal. You may often times find that sort of thing amid Wild West themed stickers. 4. Flying. For most of us an airplane is necessary when journeying any distance. Why not have a ‘flying’ layout at the start out of your vacation scrapbook? It’s easy to use a pale blue background and add white fluffy clouds cut from paper or card, but there are galore wondrous ‘flight’ themed papers around. If your pictures are old, an antiquate style with bi-planes and airships would look genuinely good. If you are good at art, why not draw an airplane and use tiny pictures from your vacation to fill in the windows, or use a great deal of of the big size die cuts that are available. The easiest flying theme is to manufacture a hot air balloon shape by cutting it out from card and then attaching it with drawn in ropes to your feature photograph. Add a heap of tiny stamped birds and perhaps that die cut rainbow you purchased but could never find anyplace to use and then some suitable stamped words, or a quote from The Lord of the Rings. ‘Fly you Fools’ might seem appropriate. 5. Flowers. An idealisti theme for lovely oval portraits. Pick a flower, perhaps a violet or a daisy and use that as the central item in a theme. For violets choose a pale lilac paper and make it more interesting with smudges of violet chalk or distress ink. Tear the lilac page with regards to two thirds of the way along and stick it down onto deep violet card so that only 1 vertical third of the page is deep violet. You may use the other 1/3rd of your lilac paper to give rise to a vertical border on the facing page. Add a deep green ribbon running horizontally throughout the page approximately 1/3 of the way up. Take your oval portraits and decorate them with tiny flowers, you may make these without apparent effort by using a little stamp, cut them out, color them with something like sakura embossing glaze pens and add galore crystal glitter, then dot them around to construct a lovely frame for your picture, or you might use a flower shaped punch or even die cuts to the same effect. If your flower choice is a daisy, the routine is the same, but use white paper (preferably with a texture or white pattern) and add this to bright yellow card. Again a dark green ribbon will finish the color scheme. Of course you may be capable to find themed papers to do all this for you, but it’s utile to know how to manage if not. You may finish the whole thing with a white oval tag. Write your journaling on the tag and then stick it to another more or less more prominent oval of your background color (yellow or deep purple) keeping the left edge of the two ovals together. Again a green ribbon will finish a fresh and beauteous summer layout. |
