Double Page Scrapbooking Sketch
Ugh, sometimes I hate WordPress because it cuts off my images… Grrr. Anyway, hey! I’m here today with a free double 8 1/2 x 11 scrapbooking sketch. Measurements included on the pic, everything is a nice round number. :) Hope you can use it! Here is the video to go with it.
Rain, Rain, Go Away! 8 1/2 x 11 Layout & Sketch!
Hello, hello! Today I’m sharing an 8 1/2 x 11 process video, with an original sketch. The proportions would also work for a 9×12 or a4 sized scrapbook layout. There’s also a bit of a discussion in the video over 8 1/2 x 11 vs. 12 x 12 scrapbook layouts. Do you have a preferred canvas size? My reasons for choosing what I choose can be found below the sketch!
There’s a few different ways you can get the sketch. You can watch the video below and screenshot it–it appears near the beginning and again near the end. You can also pin it from here, right- or ctrl- click and download it, or print it.
I have decided that when it makes sense, 8 1/2 x 11 will be my default canvas size! I think it will be easier for my kids to look at their books in this size. As it is now, I use 12 x 12 D Ring layouts, and they are so big and bulky that they have to get someone to help them pull out the book. I know they enjoy looking at their layouts, hearing the stories and seeing the pictures, so I just want to make it all more accessible to them.
I also know that I will use less paper, cardstock, adhesive, embellishments, etc. on a smaller canvas. Frugal and green!
However, if it doesn’t make sense, I will stick with 12 x 12. Let’s say I have 10 photos from an event. It’s going to make more sense to me to use those on a double page 12 x 12 spread. I want to save space in my home, too, and multiple 8 1/2 x 11 pages would be more thick than a single 12 x 12, you know? However, if I have a single photo, it makes more sense to me to put that on an 8 1/2 x 11 single page.
SO—I am not switching completely to 8 1/2 x 11—but I am definitely making more layouts this was moving forward!
Hope you enjoy this video and have a good week. :)
Stashbusting Labels Idea! Layout Process Video #15: Donut You Know…? 🍩
Hi, guys! Today I have an everyday-themed double-page 12×12 scrapbook layout featuring the use of lots and lots of labels! I love labels–precut labels, die cut labels, cutapart labels, label stickers, label stamps, all of them–and love finding new ways to use them in my scrapbooking. How do you like to use your labels?
My stashbusting idea is simple–pile up a bunch of labels and then write across them as your journaling. You can see it below at the 10:37 mark:

Love Is… 8 1/2 x 11 Layout & Sketch!
Hi, guys! Today I’m sharing an 8 1/2 x 11 process video, with an original sketch! Of course, you could adapt 12 x 12 sketches to 8 1/2 by 11, but I wasn’t in the mood to do all the mental gymnastics because the proportions *are* different…. So then when I went searching for 8 1/2 x 11, I wasn’t finding sketches with all the components I wanted, and I decided it was easier to plan it out myself.
There’s a few different ways you can get the sketch. You can watch the video below and screenshot it–it appears near the beginning and again near the end. You can also pin it from here, right- or ctrl- click and download it, or print it.
Hope you enjoy this video–if so, please like, comment, share, subscribe, you know the drill! ;)
