Celebrate Once In A Blue Moon Memories: Blue Scrapbook Layout

Roses are red, violets are blue and in between… a million beautiful hues! Everyone has their own personal pigment of choice, but a survey by YouGov conducted in 10 countries across four continents revealed that one hue — blue — is the most popular across the worldwide board. Blue has been known to represent both the sky and the sea, and is associated with notions of trust, loyalty, wisdom and tranquility. If you’re in the mood to create a dye-namic and dazzling layout, then make your way to this monochromatic and magnificent blue scrapbook idea!

Blue themed scrapbook layout with 5 photos of a couple, blue ombre letter stickers, journaling and embellishments.

To create this layout you will need:

Step 1: Use a piece of light blue triangle grid designer paper as the base of the layout.

Step 2: Cut 24 pieces of various designer papers to measure 1″ x 1″.  Adhere one row of 12 pieces along the bottom edge of the layout.

Step 3: Cut a piece of white grid designer paper to measure 12″ x 1-3/4″. 

Step 4: Punch 12 circles from a variety of vellum papers using the Circle Punch.  Adhere randomly on the white grid strip of paper.  Trim away any excess with the 12-inch Trimmer or scissors.  Adhere this strip of circles to the top edge of the previous 1″ pieces.

Step 5: Adhere 12 pieces of 1” papers along the top edge of the circles strip.

Step 6: Cut four pieces of blue ornate tiles designer paper to measure 12″ x 1/4″.  Adhere along the top and bottom edges of the 1″ squares and the edges of the vellum circles strip.

Step 7: Using the inside edge of the largest Circle Custom Cutting System Pattern and the Red Blade, cut four circles from blue ornate tiles designer paper. 

Step 8: Using the inside edge of the largest Circle Custom Cutting System Pattern and the Green Blade, cut four photos.

Step 9: Adhere the photos to the top of the mats. Adhere to the right side of the layout.

Step 10: Cut a piece of blue ornate tiles designer paper to measure 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″.  Adhere to the left side of the layout.  Adhere a photo that measures 3-1/2″ x 5″. 

Step 11: Cut a piece from light blue vines designer paper to measure 7″ x 1″.  Use the letter stickers for the title on this strip.  Adhere the title strip to the layout using Foam Squares for added dimension.

Step 12: Cut a piece of blue ornate tiles designer paper to measure 12″ x 1/4″.  Adhere along the top edge of the layout.

Step 13: Cut a piece of light blue vines designer paper to measure 12″ x 1/4″.  Adhere just under the blue strip.

  1. I like the circles especially on the strip near the bottom. They add visual appeal to the page and help the pictures stand out.

  2. Lovely couple! Congrats on their 25 years. Blue is my favorite color, too! I love royal blue all the way to baby blue.
    Circles and lines create a pleasing look with the contrast of shapes. Don’t worry about using too much blue. It gives peaceful, hopeful vibes to any page.
