Cultivate A Love For Your Locale: Farm Scrapbook Layout

Ahh… biting into the sweetest of strawberries, crunchiest of cucumbers, juiciest of tomatoes — there’s nothing more refreshing or rewarding. Whether straight from the dirt of the earth or at a booth at a farmers’ market, there’s something special about farm-to-table goodness (and showing a bit of homegrown love for your locale!).

Step 1: Use a piece of the woodgrain paper as the base of this layout.

Step 2: Cut a piece of the mini sunflowers paper to measure 11-3/4″ x 11-3/4″.

Step 3: Fold the piece of the mini sunflowers paper in half diagonally to make a triangle shape. Open the paper and fold in half diagonally again. Cut one side of the triangle shape at 1″, 1-1/2″ and 2″. Cut the other side at 1/4″ and 2″. Now you have a 2″ width frame. Set the frame aside.

Step 4: Fold the small square piece in half diagonally. Cut one side of the triangle at 1″, 1-1/2″ and 2-1/2”. Cut the other side at 1/4″, 3/”, 1-3/4″ and 2-1/4″.

Step 5: Fold the frame and square piece as shown. Add to the page.

Step 6: Cut one mat to measure 4″ x 6″ and two mats to measure 4″ x 4″ from a piece of red gingham paper. Cut one mat to measure 3-3/4″ x 5-3/4″ and two mats to measure 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ from a piece of White Solid Cardstock. Add to the red gingham mats.

Step 7: Cut a piece of the green grid paper to measure 4-3/4″ x 3-1/4″. Cut the brown grid journal mat to measure 4-1/2″ x 3″. Add to the green grid mat.

Step 8: Adhere stickers, embellishments and mats, using Foam Squares on some for added
