Faux Bulletin Board Summer Scrapbook Page Idea

Paper Crafts· Scrapbooking

So summer is gone, I guess. It seems like every year goes quicker and quicker. I have tried to take more photos this year, to  make the memories last at least a little longer than the suntan lines! I am always looking for unique ideas to incorporate into our scrapbooks. I was inspired today by a bulletin board that hangs in my daughters room to create this scrapbook page idea.

scrapbook-page-idea-summer-consumer-crafts-unleashed-17Once I had the idea in my head, the assembly of the layout came together quickly. This would be an easy formula to use for other layouts simply by switching up the colors and the decorative elements.

Supplies needed to make this summer scrapbook page idea:ClickLinks1

  • Cork Sheet.
  • 12×12 Sheet of Patterned Paper.
  • SNAP Photo Cropping Template.
  • Core’dinations 3.25 inch Tags in White.
  • Core’dinations 2.75 inch Tags in White.
  • Felties Flip Flops Stickers.
  • Coordinating Washi Tape.
  • Coordinating Baker’s Twine.
  • White Glitter Letters & Numbers Stickers.
  • 3 (three) 4×6 Photos.
  • Pencil.
  • Paper Trimmer.
  • Adhesive.

scrapbook-page-idea-summer-consumer-crafts-unleashed-51Trim your cork sheet to 12×12 inches. Trim 4 (four) strips of 1″ x 12″ patterned paper.

scrapbook-page-idea-summer-consumer-crafts-unleashed-22Apply adhesive to the paper strips in the center of the strips, leaving the ends of each strip clear of glue. Adhere the strips around the perimeter of the cork sheet, overlapping at each corner.

scrapbook-page-idea-summer-consumer-crafts-unleashed-33Using scissors, lift both corners of the overlapping paper strips and cut on a diagonal, corner to corner.

scrapbook-page-idea-summer-consumer-crafts-unleashed-44Make sure to keep the paper strips aligned when you cut them. This will create a mitered corner that will mimic the look of a real framed bulletin board.

scrapbook-page-idea-summer-consumer-crafts-unleashed-5Discard the excess pieces of patterned paper, and place adhesive underneath the cut corners and smooth them down.

scrapbook-page-idea-summer-consumer-crafts-unleashed-6I have found that a lot of layouts, including this one, use smaller sized (non-standard) photos. I was very excited to find this photo cropping kit from Simple Stories. This allows me to print my photos without fussing over re-sizing them.

scrapbook-page-idea-summer-consumer-crafts-unleashed-7Choose the size of photo you would like and place the template over the photo.

scrapbook-page-idea-summer-consumer-crafts-unleashed-8The thick plastic of the templates are opaque and allow you to see exactly how you want to crop the photos. When you have the template positioned where you would like to crop the photo, simply make marks with a pencil and trim.

scrapbook-page-idea-summer-consumer-crafts-unleashed-9When your photos are prepared, arrange the elements of your layout on your faux framed bulletin board. You can really be creative here!  I chose to stay pretty linear on this scrapbook page idea, but you could arrange the elements of your layout more haphazardly like a crowded bulletin board.

scrapbook-page-idea-summer-consumer-crafts-unleashed-10When you have the pieces where you like them, apply some adhesive to the backs of each piece to hold everything in place.

Computer generate, hand write or stamp your journaling tag. Tie it with baker’s twine.

scrapbook-page-idea-summer-consumer-crafts-unleashed-11Create your embellishment tags. I used some self-adhesive Feltie stickers. I love these things! They come in a variety of colors and styles, and I am never disappointed with the detail they have. Add baker’s twine bows to the tops of the embellishment tags. Adhere all the elements of your layout with adhesive. Be generous when you have final placement. Cork requires stronger adhesive than regular cardstock.

scrapbook-page-idea-summer-consumer-crafts-unleashed-12Finish adding detail to your layout. I used washi tape to the tops of the photos. You could also choose to add brads to mimic the look of push pins.

scrapbook-page-idea-summer-consumer-crafts-unleashed-13Finish the layout by adding a sticker title.

scrapbook-page-idea-summer-consumer-crafts-unleashed-14All in all- I think this scrapbook page idea took me about 15 minutes to throw together since all of the elements were basically done for me. It is a fun design that I know I will repeat again in my albums with different colors and themes.
