Hello, it’s Kristin and today is iNational Scrapbooking Day! On this occasion, I am sharing a Beautiful Day 12×12 layout. Inspired by the wonderful patterned paper and its embellishments, I highlighted a picture of me at a photo spot of my favorite store. The message, “Let the real you shine”, behind me felt empowering, so I wanted the design to reflect that same uplifting energy.
Creating the Beautiful Day Background
Start with this yellow tone-on-tone design paper, it adds interest while keeping the page light and fresh and it allows the photo and embellishments to really stand out. For my photo, I matted it with a green patterned paper using my E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser. The contrast between the yellow and green helps frame the photo.
Building the Floral Clusters
For my floral clusters. I fussy cut a large floral piece from one of the patterned papers in the collections and popped it up with Crafty Foam Tape White 108ft to add the page. Next, I used ephemera and decorative elements to tuck them underneath – some were adhered flat and others were popped up with 3D Foam Squares White Mix. Use the Dual Tip Glue Pen to add crystals to give the page extra light and movement to the page.
The layering on the layout added depth, but it also helps guide your eye toward the photo and the inspiring message. The mix of textures and heights keeps the design visually interesting.
Beautiful Day Title and Finishing Touches
Place the chipboard title, “Beautiful Day”, near the photo with the Dual Tip Glue Pen to anchor the design and highlight the moment. It pairs perfectly with the encouraging message in the photo. I added a few more elements using 3D Foam Squares White Mix and 3D Foam Circles White Mix above the large floral arrangement for extra dimension.
This layout celebrates confidence and self-expression. The yellow leaf background and green dotted photo mat create a bright foundation. The collection adds playful color and texture with lots of layers and some crystals to give the page the most perfect finishing sparkle.
Happy scrapping & thank you for visiting! 💕✂️
