Step-by-Step: Wicked

I love vacations, exploring new places, and seeing new sights. But when I get back I have tons of photos and no motivation. I am usually zapped out of all my creative energy when I get back but I have a ton of photos that I am excited to scrapbook. This year's vacation to Walt Disney World was no different. When this happens, I turn to sketches. That way I've got the basic format for my layout and all I have to do is pick my papers and embellishments and do a little tweaking here and there. For my "Wicked" layout I used a BasicGrey sketch by Amy Howe.

Supplies:

• Doodlebug Spring Kit
• Heidi Swapp Small Yellow Florals
• Heidi Swapp Small White Florals
• Heidi Swapp Center of Attention Chipboard Alphabet
• Making Memories Medium Sherbet Circle Brads
• assorted Doodlebug Buttons
• Creative Memories Cutting System and Corner Rounder
• American Crafts Marker
• Fiskars 1/16" Hand Punch

Instructions:

1. Trim paper as follows:
• Lemon Lime cardstock to 8 ½" x 11"
• Patch of Posies accent paper to 6 ¾" x 11"
• Princess cardstock to 7 ½" x 6 ¼"
2. Additionally, using the Creative Memories Cutting System, I cut an oval journaling block out of the Pistachio cardstock and cut a wavy line in the top portion of the Princess cardstock.
3. Then I rounded the bottom corners of the Princess cardstock.
4. Adhere the Patch of Posies accent paper to the center of the Lemon Lime cardstock.
5. Adhere the Princess cardstock 1 ½" inches from the bottom and centered.
6. Adhere the photo to the Princess cardstock ½" from the bottom and centered.
7. Place the title directly above the photo.
8. Punch holes in the corners of the journaling oval tag, insert brads and handwrite your journaling.
9. Embellish with layered florals and buttons.
