And the shade can represent so much — sky and the sea, open spaces, freedom, intuition, imagination, inspiration, loyalty, faith, intelligence and sensitivity. Well, you can represent your special memories with blue easy with the Cue the Blue collection! See the A-grade shades in this blue scrapbook layout from blog contributor Sachiyo Omitsu.

Blue-themed scrapbooking layout with four photo placeholders, decorative borders and layered stickers.

To create this layout you will need:

Step 1: Use a piece of Black Shimmer Solid Cardstock as the base of this layout.

Step 2: Cut the smudges vellum paper and the floral mosaic designer paper to measure 4” x 12”. Stack two pieces together and cut in half diagonally. Adhere the segments to a piece of White Solid Cardstock, overlapping each other as shown above.

Step 3: Cut two pieces of 4” x 6” from the geometric trellis paper. Flip one of the pieces over and stack two pieces together. Cut them in half diagonally. Add to the page as shown. Trim the page to 11-3/4” x 11-3/4”.

Step 4: Use the Cloud Frame Punch to punch a piece of White Solid Cardstock. Cut the border at 1-1/4” width. Cut two borders in total.

Step 5: Use the Wispy Chain Border Maker Cartridge to punch two borders from a piece of White Solid Cardstock and two borders from a piece of Black Shimmer Solid Cardstock. Adhere the black shimmer borders slightly offset from the white borders so that it looks like a shadow.

Step 6: Adhere the borders to the page and trim the excess.

Step 7: Add the page to the base.

Step 8: Cut an embellishment into fours. Add it to each corner of the page. Ink the edges of some embellishments with the Navy Dual-Tip Pen as shown.

Step 9: Cut four mats to measure 4-1/4” x 4-1/4” from Bronze Shimmer Solid Cardstock, four mats to measure 4-1/8” x 4-1/8” from Black Shimmer Solid Cardstock and three mats to measure 4” x 4” from White Solid Cardstock. Cut the mat “Best day ever” to measure 4” x 4”. Adhere smaller mats to larger mats.

Step 10: Adhere embellishments and mats, using Foam Squares on some for added dimension.

  2. It’s a shame to cover the stunning background design with photo mats. I plan to use this design WITHOUT photos… as a title page for an album!
