Best Day Ever Scrapbook Layout

by Belly Lau

“Hi everyone, Belly’s here today sharing my “Best Day Ever” scrapbook layout featuring the new Graphic 45 Life’s a Bowl of Cherries collection.

I had a holiday trip to Melbourn in March for 10 days, it was an unforgettable trip ever, so relaxing and inspirational. I took more than 1,500 photos during the trip and included some of them inside my travel journal, but I want to share some exciting moments with my family, scrapbook layout is the best choice.

The new Graphic 45 Life’s a Bowl of Cherries is a great collection with red, blue, and green colour palettes which are suitable to show off my happy memories.

A day trip to the countryside in Melbourne was fun and delicious, I visited a restaurant called “Pie in the Sky” in a small town, I loved the pies, the scones and the coffee, while this new collection is themed pies, I have to use them for my photos in no doubt.

Other than the pies pattern on the papers, the little white flowers reminded me of the beautiful botanic garden I visited that morning.

On this layout, other than the Life’s a Bowl of Cherries Ephemera Assortment, I also added the Graphic 45 Rose Bouquet, the Natural Linen Trim and a Metal Clock Key to embellish and finish my layout.

A tip for you if you would like to make a scrapbook layout with Graphic 45 papers, for sure the patterns & solids paper pads are ultimate to be used as the base, then remember to match a piece of colourful pattern paper and a piece of single colour pattern paper in order to make the background more pop but not over-colouring the page.

Here I have a short video of the making process.
