Thoughtful Journey Paper Picnic
Stampin’ Up! sell a variety of 6” x 6” paper packs. I set myself the challenge to find easy yet creative ways to use them to make 12” x 12” scrapbook layouts. Once I started designing, I found the ideas just kept flowing and I can’t wait to share my 3 favourite double page layouts with you.
Whilst the designs will work with any of the 6x6 packs, they work especially well with the water colour prints in the Thoughtful Journey pack (163303). The cutting is super simple and you have enough papers in the pack to repeat the designs a couple of times with different colour combinations. They will look different every time!

Three double page 12x12 layouts will be made in the class.
This video shows my completed layouts. Depending on the photos you are working with, you may use different colours and your photo placement may vary. These designs can be used over and over in your albums.
I will share tips and tricks for using 3 or 4 of the 6x6 papers with co-ordinating cardstock to complete each double page layout. We’ll also discuss how to choose colours to work best with your photos. Options for embellishing your layouts and making them look different when you make another set are many and varied. You will love creating these 3 layouts over again at home with new photos.
Your confirmation email will detail the best sizes to use.
