For my
easy
layout, I focused on a simple colour-blocking design, with minimal embellishments and a
large, focal photo. I created the base by matting an embossed piece of white cardstock onto a neutral
sheet of kraft paper. I then cut out this great yellow quote card from a piece of Studio Calico pat-
terned paper, which required no printing, die-cutting or writing on my part. I tucked two vellum hearts
behind the title piece and embellished the page with a cup flower, topped with a button, and some
ribbon and twine. I love how it was simple to create, yet still has a lot of visual interest and texture.
As I look through the scrapbook pages that fill my albums, it is always interesting for me to realize how
my style has grown and changed through the years. I have had periods of very simple scrapbooking to pe-
riods of very detailed work. This EDE project was so much fun to work on because I found joy in creating
each layout, and there are bits and pieces that I love about each one. No matter what your style or abili-
ties, scrapbooking is first and foremost about sharing a thought, a story or simply a special photo.
