March 2020 Bonus Page Formula

I'm so excited to share the pages I made using Club Scrap's March Bonus Page Formula! Here's the sketch:

These formulas are a benefit of Club membership. Members receive the sketch, along with trimming and assembly instructions, to complete a two-page spread. If you aren't a club member, you can browse and purchase past Bonus Page Formulas in Club Scrap's hybrid store.

Ever since my DH got me a large-format printer for Christmas, I've been dying to print hybrid artwork in a 12x12" size. My first attempt is this print from the Western Hybrid kit:

I had more photos of my friend Oliver's visit to the Tall Ships that didn't fit the Western pages I scrapped earlier this month. In order to create two more coordinating pages, I printed two hybrid 12x12 sheets for the left and right bases. Following the bonus formula instructions, I trimmed three plains from the Western collection: one each of burgundy, brown and blue.

As you can see below, I didn't follow the sketch exactly since I had more vertical photos than horizontal.

Here's the completed two-page spread with photos:

To add a bit of visual texture, decorate the burgundy strip on the right layout using Mahogany hybrid ink and the Paisley masking stencil.

Adhere 1/4" hole-punched circles (topped with bookbinding glue for shine) to the center of three bronze flowers. 

Stamp the word "Yee-haw" onto a leather tag using India ink and attach to the border strip using mini brads. (Let the ink dry completely to avoid smearing.) 

I just love how these pages turned out! Need more inspiration? Visit the Club Scrap blog to see Tricia's pages made using the March Bonus Formula.

Happy scrapping!
