How to Design a Layout

Designing a scrapbook layout is among the first tasks facing a newcomer to scrapbooking -- and a task that continues to intrigue and challenge scrapbookers of all skill levels.

A basic layout, covering one page, is called a single page spread. A layout that covers two pages when the book is opened up is called a double page spread.

Essential scrapbooking supplies to design a single page spread might include photographs or other memorabilia, two colors of card stock, one sheet of scrapbook paper, a journaling pen or other tool for journaling, alphabets to make a title and miscellaneous embellishments for decoration.

There are basic elements of good design that apply to scrapbook layouts, card making or any other visual project. These include the rule of thirds, achieving balance, visual "flow", and the use of complementary colors. This page contains a scrapbook video tutorial showing a simple layout design
