Plant Fresh Creativity With This Spring Scrapbook Layout

Who out there is a proud plant parent or has a fondness for foliage? No matter how green your thumb is, springtime calls for fragrant and fresh flowers, budding blooms, lush leaves and more! Do you know what else this season calls for? This spring scrapbook layout with an easy-to-put-together watering can idea. Let your creativity grow!

Spring-themed scrapbook layout with four photos of a family, a decorative paper and embellishment watering can, journaling and floral border.

To create this layout you will need:

Step 1: Use a piece of spring leaves designer paper as the base for this layout.

Step 2: Using the outside edge of the largest Circle Custom Cutting System Pattern and the Blue Blade, cut a circle with canary blanket fabric tonal paper. Adhere on the layout as shown.

Step 3: Using the Floral Peaks Border Punch, punch a border with coral flowers and leaves designer paper. Cut to 12″ x 2-5/8″. Using the Floral Peaks Border Punch, punch a border with violet spring leaves designer paper. Trim to 12″ x 2″. Layer and adhere both borders on the bottom edge of the layout.

Step 4: Freehand draw the shape of a watering can onto mint green blanket fabric tonal paper and cut out. The dimensions of the can are roughly 3-3/4″ on the bottom, 2-1/2″ on the top and 4″ in height. Use the inside edge of the square Rectangle Custom Cutting System Pattern and the Blue and then Red Blades to cut a handle with coral basket weave tonal paper. Draw and cut out the spout freehand. Assemble and adhere the watering can to the layout as shown.

Step 5: Cut photo mats using dark green blanket fabric tonal paper. Sizes of the mats (and photos in parentheses) are:

  • (1) 6″ x 4″ (5-3/4″ x 3-3/4″)
  • (1) 4″ x 4″ (3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″)
  • (2) 4″ x 3″ (3-3/4″ x 2-3/4″)

Step 6: Using the inside edge of the largest Circle Custom Cutting System Pattern and the Blue Blade, cut a circle with coral flowers and leaves designer paper. Adhere along the left side of the layout, trimming off the excess.

Step 7: Adhere embellishments, popping some up with Foam Squares for added dimension.

Step 8: Journal as desired.
