Add some joy to your Happy Album photo journal using Kit #18!

How much fun is it to finally get your hands on a new Happy Album kit? There are so many different possibilities that come with each kit — it can sometimes even be overwhelming to think of a new layout to create. If you’re looking for a new way to use Kit #18 (or any other scrapbook kit!), I’m here to help! Keep reading to find easy-to-follow instructions to create a layout with Happy Album Kit #18 (NEW), along with a sketch. Let’s get creating!

Each Happy Album kit comes with easy directions to create a stunning layout, but you can never have too many options! It’s fun to be creative with your layouts whether you take inspiration from the pages I scrapbooked below or come up with something new that you love. I’ve listed easy-to-follow instructions below so you can create a fun and fresh Happy Album layout. Let’s get started! P.S. Can we just take a minute to swoon over Kit #18 and those gorgeous embellishments?!

1. Print four 3″ x 3″ photos and one 2″ x 2″ photo (to go under the frame embellishment shown above).
2. Set aside two of the designer paper patterns from Kit #18 you like best and the Soft Mint Cardstock. 
3. Cut one sheet of the designer paper and the cardstock into two 6-3/4″ x 9″ triangles. You will have two triangles of patterned paper and two triangles of cardstock, making four in total. 
   • Tip: Fold the top left corner of your paper 90 degrees downward, meeting the right side of the page and forming a square. Then cut the square diagonally in half.
4. Next, take the remaining designer paper and cut two 6-3/4″ x 3-1/4″ rectangles.
5. Adhere the triangle pieces to your Happy Album pages alternatively, creating a square, as seen below.
6. Adhere the two rectangle pieces to the bottom of each page.
7. Lastly, adhere your photos and embellishments from Kit #18 to your layout and use the extra space to journal about your happy memories!

There are many ways for you to make this layout unique – change the quote, use different patterns or change the placement of the photos. The end result regardless of what you try? A page that makes you smile!
