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 project or trip 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 Cabana Page Formula creates a well-balanced two-page spread from six coordinating 12x12 papers. This month's layout has space for a dozen 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!
Cabana Layout—Karen
To recreate the two-page spread below, gather the following papers from the March 2026 collection:
- Paper A = Med. Blue
- Paper B = Card Print
- Paper C = Dk. Blue
- Paper D = Gold
- Paper E = (2) Lt. Blue
Once the trimmed elements are adhered to the base papers, it's time to add photos and embellishments.
Rather than trimming the .25x12 strip, I left it full length so it would span the entire page.
Crop a single photo to 2-1/4 x 4-7/8" to span the space created by the mats in the lower left corner of the page. Divide a single horizontal photo in half and crop each to fit the twin double mats in the bottom right corner.

On the right, position the "enjoy the view" woodcut (Yellowstone 10.24) over the two mini mats.

Cabana Pages—Tricia
Tricia and I both used nearly identical paper assignments. Even so, different photos and embellishments give each two page spread its own personality. Tricia's gather list is below:
- Paper A = Lt. Blue
- Paper B = Card Print
- Paper C = Dk. Blue
- Paper D = Gold
- Paper E = (2) Med. Blue
Position a sentiment border strip (from the Page Cutaparts) above the 4x12 Print on the left page.

On the right, add "part 2" of the sentiment across the middle of the page. Top a journaling tag with Gold grosgrain ribbon; nest a cutapart strip onto the border strips at the bottom of the page.

Create a beautiful two-page spread when you pair six coordinating sheets of paper with the March page formula. The trimming and assembly process takes only minutes, and the same instructions can be used again and again with supplies you already have on hand.
