One of the many awesome benefits of a Club Scrap Membership is the monthly bonus formula. Pair them with paper you already have on hand to easily create beautifully balanced layouts ready for your photos!
Have a big event or vacation to scrap? Consider pairing the bonus formula with papers from the current monthly collection to supplement the original eight from the page kit.

Page Sketch
So much more than just a "sketch", the Vista Page Formula creates a well-balanced two-page spread from just FOUR coordinating 12x12 papers. This month's layout has space for eight or more photos.
To get started, download the formula and gather the number of papers indicated. Trim and sort the cut pieces according to the step-by-step instructions. Finally, assemble the finished layout with the sketch as your guide. Once you're ready, add photos and embellishments—it's easy AND fun!
Vista Layout—Karen
To recreate the two-page spread below, gather the following papers from the May 2026 collection:
- Paper A = Dk. Orange
- Paper B = Blue
- Paper C = (2) Cloud Print
Once the trimmed elements are adhered to the base papers, it's time to add photos and embellishments.
I changed very little on the left side of the layout. In lieu of a photo, I trimmed the 4x6 journaling cutapart to 2.25x3" to fit the lower right block. Loop two lengths of blue ribbon (Card Kit) through the opening in the sun charm and wrap the ends around the back.
On the right side, I added an extra un-matted photo at the top of the page, and a border strip cutapart below the 1/4" paper ribbon to add a bit more contrast.
May Bonus Pages—Tricia
Even though Tricia and I scrapped the same collection, a different print, paper assignments and photos give each two page spread a completely different look and "feel". Tricia's gather list is below:
- Paper A = Blue
- Paper B = Dk. Orange
- Paper C = Mountain Print
Keep the layout simple and clean to let the gorgeous prints, and your photos, really shine. Finish the layout by adding journaling to the orange strips on each page.
Pair four coordinating sheets of paper with the May page formula to create a well-balanced two-page spread where your photos are the star of the show. The trimming and assembly process takes only minutes, and the same instructions can be used again and again with papers from your stash.
