Here’s another layout I completed while away at a scrapbooking retreat. I am more creative when I am in a room full of like-minded crafters.
This is one of my favourite photos as it epitomises Kate and Luke. Kate is pretending to be a horse while Luke is pretending he has guns.
Some of my favourite scrapbooking supplies at the moment include anything Swiss cross. It’s going to be on-trend for a while, I think! I also love sequins because they are cost-effective, as a large bag of sequins costs only a dollar or two.
For a simple scrapbook idea, I layered several scrap pieces of patterned paper. I have large snaplock bags as storage for patterned paper scraps. I have many bags that are colour coded, so if I want a small piece of blue paper, I grab out the blue bag and look through my scraps. It works well for me.
As an example of a single photo scrapbook layout, I made it into a sketch that you can create your own layout with. So if you’re looking for free scrapbook sketches, I will start adding sketches with the layouts I upload. So make sure you come back and check out the blog every now and then.

It’s always best to have a look through your stash to see what scrapbooking supplies you already have. But if you would like a little bit of retail therapy, below are a few basic scrapbooking supplies that I like to have on hand.
Border punches are an excellent way to give your paper edges some visual interest. One of the things I like best about punches is that you can use them over and over again. They are a great reusable item, which can save you money in the long run as you only need one or two.
Paper pads are a fantastic way to make sure you have complementary paper for your layout. It makes choosing patterned paper easier as you know all the sheets will go with each other.
Die cut and sticker packs gives your layouts a prettiness boost! Stickers and die cuts come in a variety of themes, so there's always going to be something perfect for your scrapbooking layout.
