12x12 Cottage Fields Scrapbook Layouts Tutorial

Hello friends! Today, I'm sharing two "beautiful" 12x12 scrapbook layouts and a quick tutorial with measurements. These pages are girly and feminine with pretty butterflies and flowers. I can imagine special pictures saved on them, like ... a family photo shoot, friends, sisters, a bridal shower, a birthday luncheon, all dressed for church or a wedding, your garden, or meaningful everyday moments.

I used the Simple Stories, Vintage Cottage Fields Collection (product links below) and oh my goodness ... that butterfly paper is so lovely! It's like a watercolor painting and the flower stickers look like photos.  

Here's how I created them ... for the Beautiful page, I layered the papers in this order:

• I used white 12x12 Bazzill cardstock for the base. 
• I cut the Aqua paper to 8 x 11.5 and added it to the left side. 
• Then cut the Dark Pink paper to 3.5 x 11.5 and used that on the right side. 
• I added the 7 3/4 x 8 pale pink paper with newsprint (called Dream More). 
• Then cut a rectangular 4 x 3 piece in the Aqua Dot for the lower left corner.
• Next came the 6.25 x 4.25 Yellow Mat and the 2 smaller aqua ones at 3x3.
  
• And last, but not least ... the aqua strip across the top was 3/4" x 6". 

Now, the fun part ... all the pretty embellishments!! The "beautiful", butterfly, and metal looking tag at the bottom are chipboard stickers. The frames are chipboard too and are designed with flowers, butterflies, birdhouses, etc. These are great for your favorite photos, quotes, poems, Bible verses, or journaling notes.

Check out the close-up of the flowers - so realistic. I also added some colorful brads across the page and I love the shine and texture they add.  

Next up is the "Sweet" page ...

I added the papers in this order:

• I used white 12x12 Bazzill cardstock for the base. 
• The aqua solid is 11.5 x 11.5 and I centered it. 
• I added a 4x4 floral journaling card and tucked it in upper left corner.
• I layered the gorgeous 6x8 butterfly print which is from the 6x8 paper pad. 
• Next came the 4 x4 Yellow mat, then the 4.5 x 6.5 Dark Pink mat. 
• And finally, the Aqua Dot strip is 3/4” x 6”.

In the lower right corner, I added another frame that had flowers and a butterfly. I just added the "sweet" and aqua butterfly chipboard stickers on top. Easy peasy!

Below, are the links to the products I used. The chipboard stickers are still available but unfortunately, most of the other Simple Stories products are sold out. I still add them for reference, just in case you'd like to search for them online. 

Thanks for visiting the blog today and happy scrapping my friends!
