Meadow Page Formula Sketch
The Meadow Bonus Formula creates a two-page spread from just five sheets of paper. Creating a layout is simple when you follow the steps below:
- Gather five coordinating papers (a mix of prints and plains).
- Follow the cutting diagrams and instructions on the printable document.
- Dry fit the trimmed pieces onto the base papers, using the sketch as your guide.
- Once you are satisfied with the arrangement, assemble the layout using your favorite adhesive.
- Select photos and crop to fit the mats. (The 8x8" grid ruler is a must-have for this!)
Meadow Bonus Layout - Tricia
To replicate Tricia's pages, use the following paper assignments from the Meadow collection: Card Kit Print (Paper A), Orange Plain (Paper B), Brown (Paper C), and two Gold (Paper D).
Utilize the nested narrow strip as a handy spot for journaling.
More journaling tells the story. A white gel pen is perfect for writing on dark papers.
October Bonus Formula Layout - Karen
I decided to "remix" the color palette a bit by pairing the Meadow Ivory Print with coordinating papers from two other collections. A few extra rounded corners - along with slight shifts in the placement of the long, narrow elements - adds a personalized touch to my layout.
To create a layout like mine, gather the following papers: Sea Green (Paper A), Brick Plain (Paper B), Meadow Ivory Print (Paper C), and two Brown Plains (Paper D).
A single 3-1/4 x 5-7/8" photo fits across both 3x3.5" mats. Round the corners of a Sea Green scrap, creating a spot for journaling.
The three vertical mats stumped me at first. Without resizing the actual photos, I really didn't think I had anything to fit the space. After giving it some thought, I trimmed a 4x6 horizontal photo in half to create two vertical photos. Cropping each to 2-3/4 x 3-5/8" allowed me to center them across the three mats.
On page 2, trim a horizontal photo to fit the open space at the bottom of the layout. Use the right edge of the 3x2.5" mat to determine the height of the cropped photo.
