Sachiyo’s Inspiration — Camping Scrapbook Layout

I used to go camping every summer when I was in Japan. During the daytime, we enjoyed canoeing, fishing and exploring the great outdoors, and at night, we gathered around the bonfire and looked up at the starry sky. The S’more Memories Paper Pack is perfect for all those memories of outdoor adventure.

To create this layout you will need:

• S’more Memories Paper Pack or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
• Rich Brown & Scarlet Cardstock or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
• Campfire Punch or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
• Original Border Maker System with the Clouds Border Maker Cartridge or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
• Custom Cutting System with Red Blade & smallest Oval Pattern or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
• 12-inch Trimmer or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
• Double Wave Tearing Tool or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
• All-Purpose Scissors or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
• Repositionable Tape Runner or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
• Foam Squares or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)
• Brown Dual-Tip Pen or (Shop Canada | Shop Australia)

Step 1: Use the starry nights patterned paper as the base.

Step 2: Cut an oval using the outside of the smallest Custom Cutting System Oval Pattern with the Red Blade from the green patterned paper. Using the Clouds Border Maker Cartridge, punch the outside of the oval to make a tree. Cut out a trunk of the tree from Rich Brown Cardstock with the All-Purpose Scissors.

Step 3: Cut the yellow patterned paper to measure 2″ x 12″. Cut one end of the strip at 45 degrees with the 12-inch Trimmer. Move the trimmer over, and cut the strip again at 45 degrees so all edges of the diamond shape measure 2″ as shown. After cutting a diamond shape, you will have one triangle and one diamond. Take the remaining strip with the 45 degree angle and cut one more triangle from the strip.

Step 4: Tear a piece of the green patterned paper using the Double Wave Tearing Tool to measure 1″ x 12″. Adhere it to the bottom of the base.

Step 5: Using the Campfire Punch, punch a piece from Rich Brown Cardstock and Scarlet Cardstock. Adhere a red log under a brown log to add dimension.

Step 6: Adhere the tent, tree and campfire as shown. Use Foam Squares on some for added dimension. Fold the triangles to make the tent entrance and draw dotted lines on the tent.
