Step 1 - Choose your photo(s).
Step 2 - Choose your color.
Step 3 - Grab two pieces of cardstock and two pieces of patterned paper in chosen color.
Step 4 - Choose several embellishments and a set of letter stickers in chosen color. (For my brown layout [above], I chose glitter tape, buttons, doilies, and two sets of letter stickers!)
Step 5 - Mat photos on cardstock.
Step 6 - Use one sheet of cardstock as background.
Step 7 - Layer patterned papers and photos on background.
Step 8 - Add embellishments, title, and journaling. (For my blue layout [below], I chose glitter tape, bling, and a set of letter stickers. I also used several dimensional travel stickers that matched my colors and theme.)
There are, of course, many ways of creating these layouts. For example, it's not necessary to use a cardstock background each time or to mat the photos. However, this simple formula works for me, and I always like the results.

I always enjoy reading about other people's processes and this is no exception. Always good to have a formula which works :).
ReplyDeleteThat's really relaxing scrapbooking, then, when you work to a formula you know gives you great results. I like that
ReplyDeleteI love these monochromatic layouts, and the way the flowers overlap the label on the second one is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteTruly lovely layouts and I love monochromatic...gives me the push to make some myself. Great how-to!
ReplyDeleteClever to have a tried and tested formula that you know you love! They're both great layouts!
ReplyDeleteI should try monochromatic more often - you make it shine.
ReplyDeleteMonochromatic layouts are always so sharp. It's always interesting to see someone else's process.
