How do I mix pattern papers in a scrapbook page layout? I've taught scrapbooking classes for years, and this is the most common question I get.
Using multiple patterns is easier than you think. Start by looking at the colors in your photos and pull a group of papers that contrast and complement your pictures.
This layout uses a floral print, stripes, solids and a textured background to make these outdoor photos shine. Notice how the blues and greens blend together to highlight the outdoor pics? A simple title and accents pull the page together.

Here is a quick tutorial showing the way the papers combine and measurements I used. Use your own paper, or if you want this layout in a kit, order here.

Left side: Green texture print 7" x 12". Right side: Green texture print 5" x 12".
Left side: Stripes 4"w x 9 1/2"h (Note: Double check direction of stripes before cutting).
Right side: Stripes 8"w x 9 1/2"h
Left side: Floral print 9"h x 9"w. Right side: 3"h x 9"w.
Add frame mats and photos: White frame 4"x 6", Green Frame 3 3/4" x 5 3/4", Photos 3 1/2" x 5".
Add a simple title and accents. I used punch shapes centered in a key tag along with some flowers and die cut letters.
This page layout is available in a kit from SimpliCraft.com. Would you like to have all the pieces you need? Just assemble and add photos. Order Fun Family Page Kit.
Enjoy!
