This paper collection is proving to be a top tier "photo eater," and the Cobblestone bonus page formula will help you get things started.
Be sure to download the full formula included in the member exclusive links email sent at the beginning of the month. These bonus formulas are ready to help when you're in a creative pinch and help you make the most of your existing paper stash.
Cobblestone Bonus Page Formula
The layout requires a total of five 12x12 papers, plus I added some 3x12" strips torn from the beautiful Cobblestone Off White Print. The following 12x12 plain papers were used: A = Brick, B = Stone, C = Gray, (2) D = Cement.
If you're ever unsure about what color's what, consult the handy color chip we create for each paper collection. In fact, peek back at color chips dating back to 2013 on our handy Pinterest board!
After following the paper trimming instructions on the bonus page formula, simply assemble and add photos! I'm currently working on last spring's trip to the beautiful and historic city of Prague.
Cobblestone Bonus Page Formula - with photos
I like how this layout allows the Gray paper and a 4x6 photograph to stretch across the gutter (the space between the two pages.) I found the perfect photo of two tall beers to cut in half!
When adding the Gray and Brick papers to the layouts, I used the "0" center of my CS® Grid Ruler to identify the exact center of the page. Notice the reading of 5" on each outside edge of the Gray paper.
Traveler tip: If you're taking a long trip, snap a photo of a map or a daily itinerary to help organize your photos and recall landmarks from the adventure. Sometimes one church or castle can begin to look like all the rest! The image below is not an actual map, but a photo of our spot on the map.
Add a sentiment from the Cobblestone stamp sheet. I'm so grateful for Cliff's willingness to take these journeys with me!
The page title was created with letters die dut from a Cobblestone "HPOP" (Half Pound of Paper). These smaller sheets are perfect for jobs like this, since we use almost every piece from the Page Kit to make the pages!
I hope you have fun scrapping this month's Bonus Page Formula! Just try to keep your beer out of the gutter. ;)
