Since July 2011, in addition to the monthly kit instructions, members receive one bonus page formula each month. Each formula creates a two-page spread, and can be made using any paper from your stash. This is one member-only benefit you should be using regularly!
Yesterday I shared finished pages created using layout formulas from the first half of the year. Check out the pages below made using the remaining six formulas!
2017 LAYOUT FORMULAS AND PAGE SAMPLES
July 
The finished layouts are nearly perfect as is, just add dimensional alpha stickers for the title and date.
August 
Even after the glue is dry, you can rotate the layout to fit your needs. Rotate the left page 180 degrees to better accommodate the photos.
September 
Rotate each page 90 degrees. To avoid covering the pretty artwork on the left base paper, move the pair of mats (Paper C) to the right page to use as double mats for Paper A. A bit of ribbon in the open space adds balance.
October 
Just add cutaparts to this fun layout. Simple can be beautiful!
November 
Move the second narrow strip (Paper A)to the right page, and add an un-matted photo the open space.
December
Think of it as putting together a puzzle. Once all of the pieces are cut and the base papers chosen, arrange those elements any way your heart desires! (See if you can spot the differences between the layout sketch and the sample page below.)
