Well, croppers, grab your photographic equipment of choice and some Scrap Happy 2 items that will take your selfie and snapshot game to a whole other level — say “Hello!” (or “Cheese!”) to this captivating Creative Memories-themed camera scrapbook layout!

Creative Memories-themed scrapbook layout created with a camera-shaped laser cut paper, three photos, journaling and embellishments.

To create this layout you will need:

Step 1: Use a sheet of White Solid Cardstock (or a White Refill Page) as the base for this layout. Adhere the full-page square with CM shutter cutouts laser-cut paper on the base. Adhere multi-hued shutter border stickers along the bottom as shown.

Step 2: Place the camera and CM shutter laser-cut paper on top of a photo and lightly trace with the Photo Labeling Pencil, being careful not to get pencil marks on the laser-cut paper. Cut out the photo a little larger than the marks. Rub the marks off with the CM Photo Polishing Cloth. Repeat with two more photos and a piece of white shutter cluster corners designer paper. Adhere behind the laser-cut paper as shown.

Step 3: Cut out a small piece of yellow pentagon designer paper and adhere it behind the laser-cut paper “flash.” Using the inside edge of the largest Circle Custom Cutting System Pattern and the Blue Blade, cut a circle with White Solid Cardstock. Adhere behind the laser-cut paper “shutter.” Using the outside edge of the smallest Circle Custom Cutting System Pattern and the Green Blade, cut a circle with Island Waters Solid Cardstock. Adhere behind the laser-cut paper “lens.” Mount the laser-cut paper on the layout at an angle as shown.

Step 4: Add stickers, popping some up with Foam Squares for added dimension.

Step 5: Journal as desired.
