Simple Scrapbook for True Friendships and my Cruise

By | December 31, 2019

Happy New Year’s Eve!

Today I thought I would share with you a simple scrapbook I made over the weekend with some photo’s I had from events over the last couple years. The book is made mainly with 2 pieces of 12″ x 12″ designer series paper – just make sure they coordinate.

Here is what the inside looks like with pictures from a girls trip to Nashville, monthly high school graduates dinner and pocket with a few different photo’s including a Christmas party photo.

Here is another view, including a dinner with Stampin’ Up! friends:

Here are the basics on how to make it, including a photo (just make sure you start with 2 pieces of paper the same size.  For the large book above I used 2 – 12″ x 12″ paper, for a smaller book (below) I used 8″ x 8″ paper.  Any designer series paper will work for this project, I used what I had on hand.

  • Fold one piece of paper in half horizontal, then vertical
  • Cut away the top left square
  • Bottom left folds in
  • Top right will fold down
  • You may need to trim an additional sliver of paper to get a neat fold
  • Use Detailed Trio Punch to round corners if desired
  • Cut mats from other piece of designer paper (for 12″x 12″, you can to 5.75″ x 5.75″ or 5 7/8 x 5 7/8″, your decision)
  • Make a pocket if you like to add additional photo’s or even hold a smaller book

Here is the first scrapbook I made using photo’s from my September cruise:
