This means having an idea of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How many photos you have, how large or small you want to use them and their orientation (horizontal or vertical)<\/li>\n<li>What major embellishments you want to use<\/li>\n<li>What type of title will be used<\/li>\n<li>How much journaling will be used<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the above layout I knew I wanted one of the 4&#8243;x6&#8243; photos to be used full size, but the rest could be cropped down a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Since it was based on Tim&#8217;s steampunk tag, I knew I wanted to use the large\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B004UDOPGI\/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=secroforgapeo-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B004UDOPGI\" target=\"_blank\">Steampunk On The Edge Die<\/a>\u00a0on a border.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t real sure about the title, but I knew I had a fair amount of journaling to do.<\/p>\n<p>I kept all of these in mind as I flipped through my files of scrapbook page sketches.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever I come across a crafting idea I like, if it&#8217;s on the internet I print it, if it&#8217;s in a book or magazine, I copy it. \u00a0These pages are then filed in a three-ring binder, like so.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/tutorial-steps\/craft-idea-binder.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" src=\"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/tutorial-steps\/craft-idea-binder.jpg\" alt=\"craft-idea-binder\" width=\"450\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This sketch from Creating Keepsakes magazine was the one I settled on for this layout. \u00a0Lots of smaller photos, a large border strip across the top and plenty of room for other embellishments all seemed to work with my plan.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/tutorial-steps\/craft-idea-binder-sketch.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" src=\"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/tutorial-steps\/craft-idea-binder-sketch.jpg\" alt=\"craft-idea-binder-sketch\" width=\"450\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Although my finished layout rarely looks much like the original sketch, it&#8217;s nice to have a jumping off point.<\/p>\n<p>The next step is to start choosing papers. \u00a0Spread out your photos and start pulling out any paper that looks like it might possibly work. \u00a0Don&#8217;t over think this step. \u00a0If it might work, toss it on the table.<\/p>\n<p>The resulting mess looks something like this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/tutorial-steps\/steampunk-scrapbook-page-planning-1-papers.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" src=\"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/tutorial-steps\/steampunk-scrapbook-page-planning-1-papers.jpg\" alt=\"steampunk-scrapbook-page-planning-1-papers\" width=\"450\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(Yes, the glass of wine is a <em>very\u00a0important<\/em>\u00a0part of the creative process. hehe)<\/p>\n<p>Next, with photos and sketch in hand, it&#8217;s time to choose which papers will be the background and the accents.<\/p>\n<p>Culled down, the stack of paper looks something like this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/tutorial-steps\/steampunk-scrapbook-page-planning-3-narrowed-down.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" src=\"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/tutorial-steps\/steampunk-scrapbook-page-planning-3-narrowed-down.jpg\" alt=\"steampunk-scrapbook-page-planning-3-narrowed-down\" width=\"450\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now the fun really begins. \u00a0It&#8217;s time to do the same process you just did with the papers, but now pulling out any and all embellishments you think might work.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/tutorial-steps\/steampunk-scrapbook-page-planning-2-embellishments.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none\" src=\"https:\/\/keepsakecrafts.net\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/tutorial-steps\/steampunk-scrapbook-page-planning-2-embellishments.jpg\" alt=\"steampunk-scrapbook-page-planning-2-embellishments\" width=\"450\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>At this point I separate out the papers and embellishments I&#8217;m going to start with from the ones I&#8217;m not sure about. \u00a0These usually don&#8217;t get put away until the page is entirely done. \u00a0Sometimes at the very end there&#8217;s a little something extra that&#8217;s needed and I&#8217;ll find the perfect thing in the pile of leftover stuff.<\/p>\n<p>The next step is to decide which papers will be the backgrounds. \u00a0These days I cannot seem to leave them as is, but must do some inking.<\/p>\n<p>First, I heat embossed both pages with all over patterns. \u00a0This one got the splatter stamp and clear embossing powder. (This photo is before I set the powder with the heat gun, as it was hard to see afterwards.)<\/p>\n<p><a

Crafting, sewing and making things with my hands have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I\u2019ve often been asked to teach my crafts, and have found I love doing so. My online tutorials, in PDF and video, as far as I\u2019m concerned, are the ultimate teaching tools. Be sure to subscribe so you don\u2019t miss a thing.
