Making a simple page can be a challenge. How much is enough? How do you keep from going overboard? Is it too boring?
Here’s the three tips you need to know so you can make a perfect, simple scrapbook layout.
1. KEEP IT SIMPLE:
Keep these elements on your page simple.
- Colours
- Patterns
- Typography/Font
- Design
2. ADD IMPACT:
These simple but impactful elements will add interest to your layout.
- Title
- Embellishments
3. USE EMOTION:
Draw people into the focus of your page by making sure these elements have emotion.
- Photo
- Journaling
Let’s look at how this example using a moment on a trip to Disney follows these tips to make a perfectly simple layout.
1. Keep it simple. A black and gold colour scheme, no patterns, handwriting on lines and a photo in the center design all work to keep this layout simple.
2. Add impact. The title with a large word and a small word add impact, so does the ruler along the edge.
3. Use emotion. The photo and journaling finish the page by drawing you into the heartbreaking moment on a trip to Disneyland.
Give these three tips a try the next time you want to create your own perfect, simple layout.

This does have lots of impact. I definitely love simple layouts.
Thanks Gina!
I love the big title and the expression on his fact in the picture. And the ruler is a great addition!
Thank you Karen!
Great layout Alice and all tips that I follow whenever I scrap as I am all about keeping it simple!
Thanks Beth!
Thanks Alice. I love simple and somethings think it isn’t enough when I see all the fancy layouts, so thanks for the validation!
Too easy, too perfect. I need to quit (once in a while) spending time looking through my stash for embellishments and just keep it simple! Thanks for the reminder.
