The Bellagio Double Page Spread by Paige Evans for SCT

Here is the last project I made for the Fall 2023 issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine which you can download and browse for free HERE! I used my Blooming Wild collection to create a double page spread filled with colors, patterns, and flowers!

I cut (24) 1x10" strips of Blooming Wild papers, stitched around each strip using white thread for texture and interest, curled the ends, then arranged them across the bottoms of two sheets of the pastel grid B-side of Paper 5.

I tucked lot of flowers from the Floral Die Cuts and Ephemera Die Cuts up under the rolled paper strips and gave them life and dimension by pinching the petals and leaves.

I was able to add eight photos on this spread! I used a combination of 4x3" and 3x4" photos arranged across the pages and then embellished with Puffy Phrase Stickers placed tone-on-tone.

I made the main title up at the top left corner using Thickers and a subtitle across the bottom of the right page using the silver alphas from the Sticker Book. I wrote journaling next to the title and called this spread finished! Since it's so colorful and busy I didn't want to add too much else to let the papers and photos really shine!

I hope this layout inspires you to check out the Fall 2023 issue of Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine and try creating a double page spread with my Blooming Wild collection!
