Monochromatic Teal 12x12 Page with Erika

Hello, crafty friends! Today, I’m excited to share a recent scrapbook page I made, featuring my kids playing at the park with our neighbor kids. The challenge was to create a monochromatic page using my favorite color, teal. 

Teal is such a versatile and calming color, perfect for capturing playful moments. I chose different textured teal papers and added some blue-toned paper accents from the Let's Scrapbook collection by Bella Blvd to add variety. 

I wanted to make the page fun and dynamic, so I included branding strips for the middle and used a cut file that says "captured" as a focal point. Adding 3x4 cards with the words "fun" and "friends" brought the theme to life. When I saw the "&" chipboard piece, I knew it would perfectly complete my title.

For the design, I love symmetry, so I arranged my photos and journaling elements in a balanced way. Customizing a journaling card by replacing "scrap" with "play" added a personal touch that tied everything together.

This challenge was so much fun, and I loved working with my favorite color in a new way. I hope this project inspires you to try something monochromatic in your own scrapbooking. It’s a great way to highlight a single color and push your creativity. If you try it out, I’d love to see your creations! Happy crafting!

Reasons I Scrapbook with Let's Scrapbook • Erika

Hi friends! Diving into the vibrant Let's Scrapbook collection from Bella Blvd has been so much fun. As I was crafting a page that reflects my personality (and the essence of why I scrapbook), I found myself immersed in a sea of color and creativity. 

Each element carefully selected, from the multicolored border strips to the playful rainbow triangles from the Cut It Up 12x12 paper, spoke to the joy and diversity of this wonderful hobby. Mounting each layer on foam adhesive added a touch of dimension, bringing the page to life in a way that truly resonated with me.

While creating a page about myself was a departure from my usual projects, it served as a powerful reminder of the importance of documenting our own journeys as creators. Just as we capture the moments of others, so too should we step in front of the camera and share our own stories. Let this be an invitation to embrace your uniqueness and celebrate your creativity. I hope this inspires you to make something a little bit different 🩵
