Layout by Krislyn Mattei — CM Independent Advisor

To create this layout you will need:

Step 1: Use a sheet of beige wash designer paper as the base for this layout.

Step 2: Cut a 2” x 12” strip of scrap paper or cardstock. Place the top of the strip in the center of the 13-inch cutting mat so the top edge is on the 7” line. Place a ruler on one 45-degree line and draw a line from the corner down to the other side. Repeat for the other corner.

Step 3: Cut 1” strips with several denim papers. Cut into 2-1/2” lengths. Starting at the drawn lines, adhere one strip along one line. Adhere a second strip along the other line, overlapping the first. Adhere a third strip below the first, the fourth below the second. Repeat all the way down the strip. Finish by filling in strips on the top, tucking behind where needed. Using scissors or the 12-inch trimmer, trim off the excess. Adhere on the left side of the base.

Step 4: Cut a 4” x 12” strip of scrap paper or cardstock. Place the top of the strip in the center of the 13-inch cutting mat so the top edge is on the 8” line. Place a ruler on one 45-degree line and draw a line from the corner down to the other side. Repeat for the other corner.

Step 5: Repeat Step 3, only this time cut 4” lengths from your 1” strips. Adhere on the right side of the layout.

Step 6: Crop one photo to 5-3/4” x 3-3/4”, two photos to 2-3/4” x 3-3/4” and one photo to 5-3/4” x 3”. Round the corners using the 2-way corner rounder. Adhere on the layout as shown.

Step 7: Thread a tag embellishment on a zig zag border sticker and adhere on the layout using foam squares. Adhere additional stickers, popping some up with foam squares for dimension.

Step 8: Cut 3/8” strips with white cardstock and adhere on the bottom right of the layout (or cut Write On! Stickers to desired length). Journal as desired.
