For my
easy
page, I cut a sheet of sunburst paper in half to mount on the top portion of my layout,
creating an eye-catching element. Then I added a phrase border strip and a border strip sticker across
the center of the layout to create a title. I matted my photos onto a piece of green cardstock, anchor-
ing the corners with photo corners. A single line of journaling, printed on white cardstock and placed
below the photos, tells the story of a fun day at the beach. To unify the entire page, I matted it onto
a summery shade of blue cardstock.
I am a “moody” scrapbooker, meaning that sometimes I am in the mood to simply tell the story, while
other times I want to spend hours creating a work of art. I love that this hobby allows me to switch things
up, try new techniques and make things as simple or as detailed as I’d like. For this assignment, I actually
began with the expert layout first and then changed the design elements for the easy and detailed pages.
