Layout by Krislyn Mattei — CM Independent Advisor

To create this layout you will need:

Step 1: Use a sheet of travel stripes paper as the base for this layout.

Step 2: Using the outside of the Jumbo Circle Custom Cutting System Pattern and the Red Blade, cut a circle with gold compass paper. Adhere on the base as shown. Cut off the excess.

Step 3: Cut a 1-3/16? strip with gray geo paper. Fold in half lengthwise. Using a ruler and pencil, mark on the left side of the folded piece at 1-1/4?. Mark the right side at the next 1-1/4? and so on, alternating marks on each side (see image above with red markings for visual reference). Using the 12-inch Trimmer or scissors, cut from mark to mark to create diamond shapes (when unfolded). Cut the diamond shapes in half at the fold line. Arrange two triangles in an arrow shape and secure them together with a Tape Chip on the back. Repeat with dark sea green waves, green arrows and navy map papers. You’ll need 10 complete arrows total. Arrange and adhere the arrows around the circle shape as shown, alternating papers.

Step 4: Crop a photo to 5? x 3-1/2? and mount on a 5-1/4? x 3-3/4? piece of White Solid Cardstock. Mount again on a 5-3/4? x 4-1/4? piece of navy maps paper and adhere on the layout. Crop two photos to 3-1/2? x 3-1/2? and mount on the layout as shown.

Step 5: Adhere border stickers across the bottom of the layout. Add a journaling embellishment and stickers, popping some up with Foam Squares for dimension.

Step 6: Journal as desired.

One response to “Now Boarding: A First-Class Travel Scrapbook Layout”

  1. I found it helpful to better understand the directions by practicing creating the arrow – diamond shapes by sketching out a 1 3/16″ x ~8.5″ shape on paper. Then I marked it every 1.25″, folded it, and drew angled lines. Then cut with pair scissors. Some of my cuts were simple ~triangles because of how the cuts went. The diamonds I cut in half. So now having a visualization of what I’m supposed to do and what my results should look like, I’m more comfortable to cut up my scrapbook paper. Love when folks find innovative ways to create layouts! Thanks Krislyn!
