The Layout
Who doesn’t love pulling out their stash of border punches and getting creative on a scrapbook page? I know I do! This layout is the perfect chance to mix and match your favorite Border Maker Cartridges and decorative elements. The sample layout features the retired Spring Leaf Chain BMC repeated across the entire page, but that doesn’t mean you have to stick with just one punch. Feel free to customize your page by combining different BMCs for a completely unique look. This kind of layout is ideal for using tools you already own while giving your page extra personality and texture.
One of my favorite parts of this design is the quarter-circle element tucked into the lower left corner. The sample page uses a pocket from the retired Spring Medley collection, but don’t worry if you don’t have that! In the handout, I’ve included step-by-step directions to create your own version using the Jumbo Circle Custom Cutting System Pattern. It’s a simple way to add a fun layered detail that also provides space for journaling, hidden photos, or extra embellishments.
For my version of the layout, I chose three photos of Cody riding his bike as the sun was setting—one of those golden-hour moments that just had to be documented. The colors in the photos paired beautifully with papers from the retired Emerald Gemstone Collection. To add some playful detail, I used the Rolling Sunshine Border Maker Cartridge, which was included in Secret Box #3 from Fall 2021 and coordinated with the Spiced Plum Collection.
