Posted on by melissaullmann

Who says you always need a reason to create a scrapbook layout? While everyone loves themed layouts and conceptual projects, sometimes you just want to create something cute! And speaking of cute, the Just Because Paper Pack (part of the limited-time Mystery Bag Promo) fits the bill for just such occasions! Papers like these are versatile enough to coordinate or contrast with your other supplies, and best of all, they work for so many projects. You don’t need a reason to create this scrapbook layout — you can do it just because! Read on to learn how.

To create this layout, you will need:

Step 1: Use the navy blue patterned paper as the base for this layout.

Step 2: Cut a piece of White Cardstock to measure 11-1/4″ x 11-1/4″ and adhere it to the layout.

Step 3: Cut a piece of wide striped patterned paper to measure 11-1/4″ X 1″ and adhere it along the top edge of the cardstock.

Step 4: Cut a piece of dot patterned paper to measure 11-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ and adhere it along the bottom edge of the previous piece.

Step 5: Cut a piece of blue striped patterned paper to measure 11-1/4″ x 1/2″ and adhere it along the bottom edge of the previous piece.

Step 6: Cut a piece of green patterned paper to measure 11-1/4″ x 5″ and adhere it along the bottom edge of the previous paper.

Step 7: Cut a piece of thin striped patterned paper to measure 11-1/4″ x 1/2″ and adhere it along the bottom edge of the previous paper.

Step 8: Cut a piece of the light blue patterned paper to measure 11-1/4″ x 1″ and adhere it along the bottom edge of the previous paper.

Step 9: Cut a piece of the floral paper to measure 11-1/4″ x 1-3/4″ and adhere it along the bottom edge of the previous paper.

Step 10: Cut one red photo mat to measure 6-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ and two red photo mats to measure 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″. Adhere them to the layout. Then adhere one photo measuring 6″ x 4″ and two photos measuring 2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ to the mats.

Step 11: Cut the green leaf patterned paper to measure 1″ x 2″. Cut a piece of red patterned paper to measure 1-1/4″ x 2-3/4″. Cut a piece of light blue patterned paper to measure 1″ x 2-1/4″. Cut a “v” into the lower edges of each piece using scissors and adhere them to the layout.

Step 12: Adhere stickers to the layout for the title. Punch out hearts using the Double Heart Punch and adhere them to the layout using Foam Squares. Journal as desired.

This goes-with-anything scrapbook layout idea would be the perfect home for all sorts of photos and memories. What do you think you’ll use Just Because papers for? Let us know in the comments below!
