Hi all. Jennifer Taylor here. Today I am stopping by to share with you a 8x8 double page layout I made using the Carta Bella Fish Are Friends Collection.
I have a 8x8 wrmk album and a cool stand on my living room table that also holds pages that size. So it's fun to switch to a different size now and then.
What is your favorite size scrapbook page to work with? Tell me in the comments below.
This collection is great for pool, ocean, lake, or aquarium pics.2page 8x8 layour
Layout Details
For these layouts I chose coordinating papers from the 12x12 Carta Bella collection and from the 6x6 collection paper pad and flipped them so that each page had the turtle pattern paper and each had the navy blue pattern papers.
I then, centered both pictures in the middle of the pages. Next, I added a part of the title under each picture. Lastly, I did tearing of differs pattern papers adding them around the matted picture. Finishing with layering stickers and adding enamel dots. Check out the pictures and closeups below.

Hi all, Jennifer Taylor here. Today, I am stopping by to share the 12 x 12 scrapbook page I made of my son with the Carta Bella Fish are Friends Collection. 12 x12 scrapbook page
To start my page, I grabbed that awesome multi-colored shark paper from the Carta Bella Collection, and built the page design off of that. I knew I wanted texture on the page, but with my lil guy hanging around while I scrapbooked I knew my tools were limited. So, I grabbed my decorative scissors and started cutting strips of the lantern fish paper with the decorative scissors.
I then, layered and adhered them on top of each other on the bottom half of the page so the bottom of my two pics could rest on them. Next I grabbed those great Carta Bella 6x6 shark striped papers and adhered my pictures on top. Next, I added the whale sticker to hold my diecut with the page title . Lastly, I layered tons of lil stickers and epherma pieces and roughed up some edges for more texture . Take a look below:

I had whale of a time making this page! Hope I inspired you to dust off your old tools and give them a go on your next page.
