Best Scrapbook Page Ideas of CHA Summer 2011

By Rebecca Ludens, About.com Guide

The colors of the new Making the Team paper line from Bella Blvd really "pop" on a scrapbook page layout as is shown here on this "Play Hard" layout by Stephanie Hunt. The bright primary colors are perfect for sports and/or little boy scrapbooking.

Products to Note: Bella Blvd. Making the Team patterned paper and coordinating embellishments.

Techniques to Note: Framing the scrapbook page layout is used very effectively here with patterned paper. The technique that I wanted to point out to you, however, is the way that designer Stephanie Hunt (also the owner of Bella Blvd) created a focal point photo with group sports shots. Sometimes when we have pictures of a game it is really hard to create a pleasing, balanced layout. Because Stephanie left one photo a little larger, placed it a little higher on the page, and framed it with embellishments, the upper right photo becomes the focal point photograph of the layout.
