Bask In A Gold Opportunity With This Sunflower Themed Fall Scrapbook Layout

Posted on by Creative Memories

You can probably guess how the striking sunflower got its name. Well, to put it simply, it’s because the sunflowers move to face the sun (they just can’t get enough of that vitamin D!) and their appearance looks like a sun, too. On a technical level, their scientific name is helianthus — the Greek word “helios” meaning sun and “anthos” which translates to flower. Product Development Creative Manager Noreen Smith saw a golden opportunity to radiate positivity and fun-filled memories with this sunflower themed fall scrapbook layout — it will plant a pretty presence in your album! Harvest it today!

Sunflower themed scrapbook layout with fall photos.

To create this layout you will need:

Step 1: Use yellow polka dots paper as base page. 

Step 2: Cut a 1-1/2″ x 12″ strip from purple harlequin paper and adhere to left-hand edge of page.  

Step 3: Cut 1″ x 12″ of purple harlequin paper and adhere to right-hand edge of page. 

Step 4: Cut 4-1/2″ x 12″ strip of sunflower leaves paper, adhere approximately 2-1/2″ from left-hand edge. 

Step 5: Cut a 4″ x 6″ mat from green plaid paper. Crop photo to 3-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ and mount on top. Adhere matted photo in the middle of sunflower paper strip. 

Step 6: Cut one 4″ circle from purple harlequin paper using outside edge of smallest Custom Cutting System Circle Pattern and Red Blade. Cut circle in half using 12-inch Trimmer. Adhere one semi-circle above matted photo and one below.  

Step 7: Crop three photos to 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ and adhere between the sunflower leaves paper strip and the purple harlequin paper strip, leaving a small area between the top and middle photo for a sticker cluster and/or journaling. 

Step 8: Add stickers as shown, popping up with Foam Squares if desired. Journal directly on base page between photos as shown.

  2. I love how you cut the circle and used it to frame the rectangle matted photo! It really elevates the layout to a new level!
