Happy iNSD! For those not in the know, Happy International Scrapbooking Day! Yes, it’s a thing, and crafters are celebrating worldwide! Today, I’m sharing a page that came together quite simply. For me, scrapbooking is about sharing memories and events for my family to share and revisit. This photo is one that I can’t stop staring at. My daughter-in-law, Tanis, captured this amazing moment in time atop Roche Miette in Jasper National Park. Roche Miette is a 7,598-foot high mountain.

Imagine my heart when I saw my son running to the mountaintop edge! You can see their dog, Lillie, in the bottom right, keeping a keen eye on him too. But I must admit, who can blame him for wanting to get a better viewpoint? This view is spectacular and part of our exceptional Canadian landscape! With the enormous view, I chose to print the picture extra large (12″ x 9″) and let the picture tell the story on this layout.

I did not want to distract from this gorgeous photo, so I chose only a title to embellish this layout. Once again, I turned to Peartree Cutfiles to find the perfect title. The Exploring Nature title was just what I was looking for. After resizing the title to my page, I cut it on my Silhouette using white cardstock.

I searched through my patterned paper stash to find a paper that would complement the photo and support the word “nature” in the cut file. I found the match in paper F from Paper Rose Studio’s Forest Trip collection. After manipulating the cut file and offsetting the letters in the word Nature to create the background, I positioned the new file on the patterned paper to cut along the colourful tree line.

I’m very pleased with how this paper complements the photo.

I added the location and date to complete this layout using Doodlebug Designs White Alphabet Soup Puffy Stickers. And there you have it—a simple yet visually effective layout that uses an oversized picture to tell the story.

Thanks for popping in today. If you’re a paper crafter, I hope you’ve found time today to enjoy our passion for creating. Until next time, stay safe, stay well, and Happy Scrapping!
