Product Preview: Masterpiece Studios & Jessie James Buttons “Theme-tastic Fun!” - Take Home Project

Product Preview: Masterpiece Studios & Jessie James Buttons “Theme-tastic Fun!”
Take Home Project Photo and Instructions :)

Heyas all!
Last night was a hoot. I will look forward to sharing with you all the pics from the event tomorrow. Until then here's the photo and instructions for our Take Home Project!

This layout has a strong design and very simple construction. The little details make it sing! Hope you enjoy... any questions feel free to email, comment or pop in and ask :)

GIRL layout
(of course some of yours will be called BOY layout if that was the kit you selected!)


  1. Trim the lemon cardstock and pink (or light blue) cardstock to 5 1/2"x 11 1/2" . Using a corner rounder, punch the outer four corners of the card and adhere to your mint sheet of cardstock.
  2. Trim three 4"x6"photos to approx 5"x 3 3/4" and mat with a very fine border using the white cardstock. Adhere to your layout according to the above photo.
  3. Using fine tip scissors trim around your piece of Masterpiece Studios patterned paper following the patchwork lines. Lay your trimmed piece onto a cutting mat and cut individual images out of the paper with a scalpel or fine craft knife then mat the remaining piece onto the square of lemon cardstock. Mount the individual images back into their places but this time with foam tape or pop dot squares to create height.
  4. Adhere, ribbon, stickers, Jessie James buttons onto your layout as per the above photograph and further embellish the patterned paper and stickers with Kindy Glitz.
  5. Add journaling and your layout is complete!

This layout design was take from a fabulous inspiration resource:
Best of Becky Higgins Sketches for Scrapbooking. Flip to the chapter that relates to the number of photos you have to scrap for your layout and choose a layout that takes your fancy! Adapt colours and theme to suit.

I decided that three photos would be a good change. Literally opened to the FIRST page of that chapter and scrapped away. Its just THAT easy.

So if you find yourself sometimes stuck for a compositional starting point this reference book comes highly recommended.

Have a great night!
